ATTENDANCE

ASSESSMENT
This course is assessed on the basis of both a written exam (translation) and an oral exam (interpreting). Your tutor will provide you with details of the exam and any other assessment requirements in the first week of the course.

CERTIFICATE / RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT
Students who succesfully complete the course will receive a graded certificate of completion (Schein).

REPEATING THE COURSE
Students who fail the exam and wish to retake it may do so at the end of the next semester without having to retake the whole course, providing they obtain the grade 4,7. Students who fail with the grade 5,0 must retake the whole course before being allowed to attempt the exam again.

In the context of written texts, students will be expected to translate legal documents from and, in particular, into English. In addition to this, students will undertake interpreting exercises in which they will be expected to act as a linguistic mediator between a German-speaking party and an English-speaking party. The aim of the course is thus to practise the vocabulary acquired in the level 2 and level 3 courses in a situation where time is of the essence.
