Extracts
Apart from the first 2 which were completely unrelated to the preceeding work, all extracts were in German. The lecturer first read these then translated (extremely well I must admit) and asked for comments.

Needless to say only a superficial understanding of Nietzsche was gained and the representativeness of the extracts studied is open to serious doubt. (The lecturer admitted he had great difficulty selecting the extracts). 4 extracts dealing with the horrors of Nazi Germany and the speeches of the Kaiser were handed out but not dealt with due to lack of time. There were no references indicating what books the extracts came from and the lecturer did not provide background information or suggest books which would provide this information.
