Midterm Overview
The midterm test will cover lessons 1-7. The format will be like that of previous quizzes (questions, answers and commands) with an additional short creative writing portion. It will take about 30-40 minutes to complete. The oral component will consist of reading dialogues 3-5 in a private exam with the professor. Students will go into another room for about 5 minutes for this segment.
