GER 300 Literature, Film, and Media in the German-Speaking World
German 300 focuses on the acquisition of analytical skills through close reading and textual analysis.

In addition to honing students' analytical skills, this course is designed to introduce students to some of the key texts in German-language literature and culture. This course is required for majors and recommended for any student who will enroll in 300-level and higher courses in German.
