Abstract

Course description and study program requires specific educational
criteria. The primary criteria are a thorough study plan inclusive of resources available and accessible to the study of that particular course. However, if a
study program is solely based upon the level of students and availability of resources, and non- academic parameters, the consequences would be as such: the quality of work would be destroyed and put under question and
ultimately would result in a waste of human effort. Thus a curriculum or study program should be accorded to the needs and requirements of the present time as needs and expectations are rapidly changing. Experience gained from the last few teaching years offers a positive insight to the academic staff to probe critically into the syllabus of undergraduate courses in German language translation and hopefully this will remedy the inborn deficiencies of several courses that have been weak in terms of structure and content.
