(Dates are in the standard international sequence: dd/mm. Links below go to lower in this page. "K" = "Kontext" or chapter of Wie, bitte? Text altered with strikeout indicates material to ignore.)
Starting with K3, "Kontext Assignments" include the following: initial message to instructor; "Tagesschau" report; listening assignment; reading assignment; writing based on graphics and broadcast segment; "Have Fun with German" report; self-evaluation on Kontext completion.
Activities and assignments listed under for a given week begin on Wednesday for MWF and MW classes; the corresponding day for the TR section is Tuesday (NOT Thursday) of that same week. The same principle applies for due dates. As for precise timing on due dates, the day is considered to last until 5pm for work submitted as hard copy, and midnight for work submitted electronically. The "clock" on due dates for assignment revisions and stage 2 of projects starts when your instructor gives / sends your work back to you.)
