Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course is for students with experience in consecutive interpreting. During the semester, we will interpret a variety of texts (videos, presentations in class) consecutively into both German and English. Students will hone their consecutive interpreting skills and coping strategies and improve their note-taking systems through various exercises.

Assessment and permitted materials

Continuous evaluation. Attendance and participation will be expected. Two absences will be tolerated.
The final grade will be calculated as the average of all graded interpretations throughout the semester.
Students are allowed to use their own note pads and glossaries. Use of AI applications (e.g. for preparing presentations) must be made transparent.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

An excellent command of both German and English is required.
Students with English as an A or B language need a positive grade in both directions for a passing overall grade.

Grading scale: ≥90% = 1, ≥80% = 2, ≥70% = 3, ≥60% = 4

Examination topics

Course with ongoing evaluation. Students should master the contents and competences conveyed in the course of the semester.
