Post A-Level German students:
Please refer to the departmental website and the VLE (Virtual
Learning Environment) to check your groups and timetables.
There you will also find your self-study material, including videos,
class announcements etc. Many videos can also be watched in the E-Lab.
On the Teaching pages you can find a number of links
to exercises and further material for self-study.
Please let me know if you have questions. The German Society
page
(including information on the Babylon
Project) (and the Facebook group) will be updated shortly
and a VLE platform will be made accessible at the start of term. Viel
Spaß beim Lernen!
Hello everyone,
as
promised, I have finally stopped doodling (or is it drooling, I can
never remember ?) and put together a "proper" website that
leads you to all the other less important ones :) including the websites
with links to self-study material for my students.
Please don't expect a blog on this, I think I have more important
things to do ;) but if something comes up, such as travels abroad
which might lead me close to your current place of residence, I will
put this on this site and hope you'll welcome me with open arms !!!
Obviously, I'll contact you personally beforehand, oh, and I'll expect
you to warn me well in advance if you're planning to visit, (sagt
sie, belehrend mit erhobenem Zeigefinger).
But
back to the task at hand. The most important info for my students
will be the teaching sites, so I expect you to do your homework first
(!) and then you can spend your precious spare time
browsing through the other sites.
Apropos
the other sites, I will add more links and information to the sites
whenever I have the time, but if someone shares an interest, or knows
of a wonderful website which has for some reason not found its way
into my bookmarks bar, please let me know and I'll be forever grateful.
If
you just can't be bothered clicking through the pages you can find
direct links to the teaching sites and some of my other websites below.
That's
all for now. News and current events will be added if
and when I feel like it.
Liebe
Grüße
Nadine
PS: Just a quick explanation for those who are wondering
why I decided to put a baby picture on this site, well, for one it
is the last good picture of me, every picture taken afterwards is
terrible, I am not very photogenic and much better in person, at least
I really hope so, ;). And secondly, I believe my students could all
explain very well that I am a bit paranoid about "Vater Staat"
or rather "Big Brother" or any other member of that family.
I am convinced that if a "real' photo of me with my name is available
on the internet, BB can run facial recognition software on it and
with all the CCTV cameras on campus (we are caught every 3-5 seconds
on camera when on campus, and after all Big Brother IS
British), well with all that footage they can pinpoint my exact whereabouts
at any given time, and I am too German and value my privacy too much
to let them do that. Sounds paranoid, I know. ... and I am sure they
have other means anyway, but this is my tiny bit of personal rebellion
... and I can just see you smirking at me there! Stop it!
