feuervogel: (bitch please)
Semester 1, Professor A: class and readings largely in German, secondary literature discussion in everyone's own native language. "Write your paper in your native language because using the other one will get you a lower grade because you're not good at it."

Semester 2, Professor B: class entirely in German; paper in whichever language we want (yay visiting professors).

Semester 3, Professor C: class mostly in English. "Write your paper in your native language, because it won't be as good in the other one."

Semester 3, Professor D: class entirely in German. Every written assignment in German, including final paper.

Me: complaining about this sudden change in expectations
Other people: "It's a German Studies program, what did you expect>!?!?"

Gee, idk, two of our professors think we shouldn't even bother writing in German because it will be shit, so I DON'T FUCKING KNOW where I could have gotten the expectation that writing in German wasn't an obligation.
