Most Helpful Review
Fall 2021 - German 1 with Kyle was a wonderful experience. Kyle has a humorous personality and his lectures are engaging. The midterm and final were really straightforward, and the examinations take questions from the same question bank as the practice quiz. There are a few writing assignments as well, so be sure to know your basic sentence structures and grammar. The current learning platform for the textbook and homework, Blink Learning, is mediocre, so expect occasional tech issues. However, the homework is graded on completion/effort and not accuracy, so do not be unsettled when Blink Learning dumps arbitrary numbers on each homework page for the "grade". The final part of the course is reading the book "Akim Rennt", and by the time you get to week 10, you should be able to understand the general meaning of the content in the book. We read it together as a class, so that was very helpful. I would definitely take another German course with Kyle again.
