Roman is so helpful, kind, and accommodating. He knows how to teach and has a genuine enthusiasm for teaching. I learned a lot about German culture and language from his recounts of his own experience in addition to the curriculum. There were a few papers, tests, and presentations throughout the semester, but for the most part, just the daily grammar and culture worksheets. Class discussions and lectures were very relaxed and interesting on a variety of topics.

I loved taking german with Roman! he's always super super helpful and makes tons of time to chat even outside of office hours. Difficult class in terms of the material, but he made it so accessible and friendly. Left having learned an absolute ton.

This course tends to get a bad reputation, and I can understand why given the flow of constant homework, exams, and essays. However, the course is ultimately highly useful in developing German reading and writing ability, and I found more enjoyable if you approach it from that perspective. It's in the name of the course: you're in an "advanced writing workshop," so if you're looking for a laid-back class with relaxed yapping in German, you won't find it here unfortunately.
