German Studies Department                        Wellesley College Placement Tool            Fall 2023
Dear Student,  
First of all, welcome to Wellesley College! We are looking forward to working with you this year in one of our courses.  The questions listed below will allow us to make recommendations to you for your placement. Please note that we can enroll students either into GER 101 or into GER 201, unless we recommend a 200-level course beyond our language sequence.                                                                                                                               
Please respond to all the questions (and do not use a dictionary or any other resources). 
We will be in touch with you later.  Vielen Dank!
