New OER Textbook (again): German 102
The second book in my OER German textbook series is out. Here it is:
Go take a look! It’s free to use. I don’t recommend downloading it, however, because somehow the images don’t download in the proper size. Anyway, my students no longer have to pay for a textbook in the GR 101 and 102 classes. I will correct errors as I find them. After using the GR 101 OER textbook this past semester, I’ve come to the following conclusion:
Book has WAY more exercises than can be done in class.
Students love not having to pay for a book.
Students actually USE the book. I link the section under each homework assignment to show them where they can go if they need help. There are tons of videos to watch that reteach everything.
It seems to be much more successful than the book I was using before this one (that cost $250 new, by the way). If your German classes need a new textbook, you are more than welcome to use this series!
When I get done writing textbooks, I’ll go back to fiction, my first calling.
