Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
For the exam, a simple coherent text must be translated and unusual grammatical situations must be documented with extra notes. This is particularly important where the construction does not exist or is not readily identifiable in German or English (e.g. habitual, copula, where a preposition takes over the function of a verb in German or English etc.). In order to pass, I must be able to clearly recognise that the student has understood most of the text and the grammatical or linguistically interesting constructions used in it.The text will be 50-60 words in length and will consist of 10 blocks marked with 10 points each, 100 points in total. A short sentence is one unit. A longer sentence will be broken into two or more units - each phrase being a unit. The time allotted for the exam is 45 minutes. The marking scheme is as follows: 50-62p = pass 63-75p = satisfactory 76-87 = good 88-100 = excellentIf the exam needs to be digital, the exam will be conducted through Moodle. An exam text will be provided which must be uploaded with the translation and notes within 1.5 hours.All support materials are allowed e.g. dictionary, preposition lists etc.
