Bettina Matthias

The German department is the best! Although this course at times can seem like a review of what you learned in Beginning German, Bettina always brings a lot of energy to class and leads interesting discussions that help improve both your speaking and listening skills, as well as broaden your vocabulary. Even though there is a decent amount of homework, the tests aren't too bad and the essays are maximum 2 pages. You can't go wrong whether you take the course with Roman or Bettina!

Great class, mostly review of 0101-0103. Almost all of the teaching is in German, with switching to English for complicated topics or when otherwise needed. Quite fun too, but language tables are always annoying to have to do

The course material combines a good mix of grammar and various topics of German culture. Professor Bettina is very enthusiastic and leads the discussion in class effectively. The workload is not a lot, but more time for preparing presentations and perfecting the writing assignments is needed. There is a lot more vocabulary than 100 German as well, which you have to remember to be efficient in class.
