Rules/Warnings:
1.
If you get someone who is proficient in German to proofread
your essay, we will consider this cheating. We
recognize that you can learn from having someone look
over your essay for you, but we have to enforce this
rule in order to make the grading fair for everyone.
It IS OK for you to ask such a person (or an
instructor in the German Lab) 3 or 4 specific questions
on how to say something.
2.
If you use an online translator for significant
parts of your essay, we will consider this cheating.
Note that online translators tend to produce noticeably
absurd translations. Consequently, even if your instructor
is not sure you are using an online translator, you
are likely to get a bad grade for your essay if you
use one. You also risk becoming a laughing stock in
our department, like the student (this really happened!)
who submitted an essay on "Ludwig Dienstwagen Beethoven"
["Dienstwagen" is a possible translation of
"van," though it generallly means "company
car"...].
3.
Please give a word count for your essays (in Microsoft
Word, you just need to select "Word Count" from the
"Tools" menu to do this).
4. Using a German spellchecker is NOT cheating. In fact, we strongly recommend it!
Fundamental
Advice
Please
don't write out an essay in English and then try to
translate it into German. This will be an awful
amount of work for you, and using a dictionary to try
to do a lot of things you haven't learned just leads
to lots of misunderstandings. Doing this often
causes students who have worked very hard to get bad
or mediocre grades, because the result is often incomprehensible.
