Winter 2021 - Doing this review a little late because Bruinwalk didn't have Anna teaching this class until now, but I had Anna for German 3-5 and she did a great job. The tests in this class are not bad, as there are practice quizzes for you to do before. If I remember correctly, you are still doing some grammar in this class and the writing definitely starts to pick up here. I honestly questioned whether my level was high enough to be in this class, but Anna convinced me to stay and it was worth it. I actually just finished German 6 this quarter and it was amazing. If she is teaching it, definitely take it!

Fall 2023 - Professor Covey is a really great and engaging professor. Class is always well organized and has a simple structure. They are very engaging and interactive so you get lots of practice speaking with your classmates. Your grade is made up of several elements: homework assignments, weekly 20-minute long essays, midterm & final essays, attendance/participation, and 2 TalkAbroad conversations with a native German speaker online. It can be a lot but they are all very doable assignments, this class does require good time management and organization skills on your behalf so you don't fall behind or get overwhelmed. But Professor Covey is very helpful and makes things as straight forward and enjoyable as possible. Highly recommend.
