German class winding down


The semester is rapidly coming to an end as we have only 3 weeks of class left before the final. And it seems that with each passing day, our class gets smaller and smaller. No there are more than 3 students left but I couldn't get the whole class to pose. I think we're down to 11 from an initial count of 30 plus. Such a drop out rate must make it difficult to plan for. It certainly makes it difficult for the teacher to plan assignments. For example, one of our final projects was to be group presentations but with so few in the class the groups will all be just 2 members. On the other hand, the students benefit from having a lower student to teacher ratio because we all get to speak more often and practice our newly developed language skills.
