Dutch in Part IA
N.B. No students will be admitted for Part IA Dutch after October 2010.
Students take the Part 1A Examination after one year and the
Part 1B Examination after two years. Students of Dutch will
take the ab initio course Part 1A (option A),
unless they have an A-level in Dutch, in which case they will
take Part 1A (option B).
Attendance is expected to all Language
Classes, for which weekly tasks are assigned and at
lectures and supervisions, since these are designed to relate
directly to your course of study and examinations. Fortnightly
supervisions will be given for Scheduled
Papers. Apologies for absence for lectures, classes and
supervisions are expected to be conveyed in advance to the Departmental
Secretary or to teaching staff.
Supervisions will be arranged in consultation with Colleges and
Mrs. Strietman. Normally there will be four supervisions for
each Scheduled Paper in the Michaelmas and Lent terms and two
in the Easter Term. These will relate to Scheduled Papers,
including DUA3, set texts and topics. Set work can consist of
an essay on a set question, a critical analysis of or
commentary on a specific passage or preparation for a
discussion of secondary literature, in preparation for the
Examination. In addition to the Set Texts, students will be
expected to acquire a knowledge of contemporary issues in Dutch
and Flemish culture.
