Roman Graf

I love Roman as a professor. This course had a lot of very difficult German reading, but he gave us resources to aid our comprehension and took the time to ensure all students understood the plot of each play we read. What was most difficult was understanding the dramatic theory of each playwright, and I wish his introduction to those materials had been more organized. I enjoyed the conversations we had as midterms and finals; the grading felt rigorous enough, but they were not as stressful as writing for an exam. The writing assignments were fun as well. They were short, but provided different angles from which to read the plays.

As a student who studied with both Bettina and Roman at the same time, I would say that Roman's class is much more discussion-based, whereas Bettina's has more worksheets and group work. Personally I prefer Roman's style, but they're both good classes and it's really a personal preference.

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.
