RUSS 205 - Russian for Reading Knowledge

2020-2021 Catalog Year

Credit(s): 3
Lecture: 3
Non-Lecture: 0
The course will prepare students for research in the Russian language and/or the workplace where a reading knowledge of Russian could be a vital addition to the student’s skill set. Students will learn to write and read the Russian language, both print and handwritten, and work with various types of readings (scientific, literary, political, philosophical, historical.) The course cannot replace the 201/L language requirement and is not available to students who have taken previous Russian language courses, are native or near-native speakers of Russian, or who have knowledge of any other Cyrillic-based language. Due to the focus on training for students unfamiliar with the Cyrillic alphabet and the Russian language in general, the course will cap at 15.
