Roman Graf

I love Roman. He is so friendly, wants us to succeed, a fair grader, and effective at explaining the course material. I got a CW for this course and there were only 3 papers. Other than that, daily homeworks from a textbook, the occasional reading, and 6 grammar quizzes throughout the semester that varied in difficulty. The focus on grammar that was definitely helpful for those of us preparing to study abroad. Would absolutely recommend this course and any course with Roman, for that matter.

This class is definitely reading intensive, but you can also watch almost all of the plays on YouTube. Roman is an awesome professor and keeps the class entertaining and engaging for everyone. The two oral exams are just discussions with the professor about the material and are very relaxed. I would recommend this course to anyone taking upper level German.

Another certified banger from Roman. This course will test your German across different periods and writing styles. Nonetheless, Roman is very accommodating to his students as the exams are for you to choose and pick what and how much to write on. His oral midterm and final focuses on not thoroughness but intensity of interaction with the material. He will notice if you read nothing, but it is ok to prioritize in your reading. Worth taking.
