These performance skills are referenced in the approved German I curriculum and its appendix. The course grade will be calculated from scores obtained on unit quizzes and tests, projects and activities, daily assignments, and the End of Course Exam. Progress reports providing current grades or percentages will be issued at the midterm of each quarter.

The End of Course Exam (EOC) will count as 10% of the student’s final grade and help determine whether or not the student has met the State Standards in Humanities for this particular course. It will consist of a written and speaking component as well as a multiple choice exam evaluating listening, reading, cultural and grammatical proficiencies.
