This course is a continuation of Russian 1125 in the fall, but may be taken by students who have not taken 1125. The course has two sections, though in some years only one is taught. When we teach both sections, one (1126-102) is for native speakers of Russian, and the other (1126-101) is for students who learned their Russian as a foreign language and have had three to four semesters of college-level courses. Both sections are for students who want to read Russian Web sites and newspapers for language practice and to keep abreast of current events in the world. Classes are taught mostly in English, though brief discussion in Russian may also take place.

The course meets twice a week. Prerequisites: Russian 1122 or equivalent, or permission of the instructor. 2 credit hours/units.

This course has the same syllabus as the Russian 1121-1122 sequence, but the student has an option of covering the material in three or four semesters (unlike the two semesters in 1121-1122). The course is offered for students who cannot commit to the fairly intensive pace of that traditional beginning Russian sequence. No prior knowledge of Russian is assumed.

Two or three meetings with the teachers each week, one-on-one or in small groups. No prerequisites, but permission of the instructor is required for registration and may be constrained by the available resources. Variable credit hours/units (2 to 4).

The course meets four times a week. Prerequisites: Russian 2203 or equivalent. Often taken along with Russian 1126. 4 credit hours/units.

Prerequisites: permission of the instructor. 1 or 2 credit hours/units.

The course meets three times a week. Prerequisites: Russian 3303 or equivalent. 4 credit hours/units if you attend all three weekly classes; 3 or 2 credits/units if you attend only two or one class each week (i.e. only the film class ot the film and the reading class, etc.).

This is a continuation of Russian 3305 in the fall, but it may also be taken by students who qualify even without taking Russian 3305.

The course is mostly for native speakers of Russian who have not had much schooling in their own language.

The course may be taken twice a week for two credit hours/units or three times a week for three credit hours/units, in which case it satisfies the College of Arts and Sciences foreign language requirement. The optional class is the reading class, where no grammar is discussed, and the focus is on intonation, fluency, and vocabulary.

Prerequisites: permission of the instructor.

This course is similar to Russian 3309 in its goals and methods, but it is not a continuation of 3309. The two courses may be taken in any order. Each course may be taken more than once if the reading list is different.

If there is sufficient interest and the department has the necessary resources, two very different sections of this course may be taught in a given year. The purpose of the course in both sections is to learn how to read a lot and to speak about what you've read.

In the section for non-native speakers of Russian, the weekly reading assignments include 20 to 40 pages of unabridged text with no linguistic explanations or glossaries. The weekly assignments in the section for students from Russian families are around 100 pages. In both sections, all assignments are from from authentic Russian prose (fiction and non-fiction). All discussion in class is in Russian. Expect your homework to take up to six hours each week.

Note that this is not a literature course; it cannot be used to satisfy distribution requirements. (See courses in the RUSSL series if you are interested in literary criticism, literary analysis, etc.)

Like Russian 6633 in the fall, this is a very flexible course with advanced goals. The two courses may be taken in any order. They are for students who have had four or more years of college-level Russian and may also be taken by native speakers of Russian who know how to speak and write but want to advance their knowledge. It is taught differently each year, depending on the needs of the students who take it. The course is usually taken by advanced undergraduate students, and occasionally by graduate students as well. It is taught entirely in Russian.
