Course
Requirements and Expectations
Students can assume
that class sessions and assignments will include regular written homeworks and
quizzes. Policy on absences: Since class
participation is important, students who miss more than two classes may
seriously jeopardize their grades. Students who miss class should inform the
instructor beforehand whenever possible, and are responsible for course
content, for turning in any required homework, and for making up any missed
tests or quizzes.
Evaluation
Grades will be
based on: Attendance and general participation (25%); quizzes (25%), daily
homework (25%), and final exam (25%).
Schedule
The textbook by Dr Goldman is meant to be read over one year (two semesters) which means that we will be studying and working on one chapter every week of this semester. Every week we will be studying the chapter in the class. Homework and quizzes based on that chapter will be assigned to you as well. Every Friday, exercise of that one chapter is due as the homework and every Thursday vocabulary from that chapter will be tested in the quiz. Other quizzes will include noun, pronoun and verb charts. All homeworks and quizzes are graded.
