This course is the second semester First Year Hindi course. It is the continuation of HIN 506 and is open only to students who have passed HIN 506 with the requisite grade or have the instructor's permission to take the course. For students entering without HIN 506, misrepresentation of proficiency level during placement will severely affect the final grade as such a misrepresentation shall be considered to be a case of scholastic dishonesty. This course is also not open to students who have passed HIN 506 but have been placed in a higher level Hindi course to match their proficiency level.
With material especially designed for this course, one has plenty of opportunity to play with and explore the language and its parent culture. The course creates an intellectually stimulating atmosphere by drawing on varied academic interests of the participants. Through a combination of graded texts, written assignments, audio-visual material including contemporary Hindi films and songs, and computer based assignments, this course is geared towards increasing oral, aural, written and reading proficiency in the target language. Emphasis is placed on spontaneous self-expression in the language.
Grades shall be based on class participation, weekly homework and essays, quizzes, 2 mid-terms, 1 individual presentation and a final exam.
In addition to MW 1-2pm, this course meets TTh 11-12:30pm. There is also a 1 hour small group conversation requirement for the course.
