Winter Student Guide 2010
Meetings At the end of each German class, the IWU group will have a short meeting in the seminar building. We will give you information about events and activities during the week, important things to remember, etc. These meetings are the perfect opportunity to ask questions you might have and to talk about anything concerning your stay in Kassel. However, you are always welcome to come and see us in the IWU office (Arnold-Bode-Str. 10, room 1215).
Attendance In seminars and German classes, regular attendance and active participation are crucial. Students are expected to show an active interest in the chosen subjects. This includes being prepared for each class and completing homework assignments. If you miss class more than two times, you will not receive credits for that course.
Tandem Language Partnerships IWU Kassel participants will have the opportunity to meet local students from the University of Kassel to build ‘Tandem Language & Culture Partnerships’. Tandem is a communicative and intercultural approach to learn a new language and to gain more insight into another culture. Students with different native languages and different cultural backgrounds meet and get to know each other. The IWU team will organize a first meeting on January 4th. There you will find a partner and you are encouraged to arrange your own meetings.
