Course Description:  Second semester of a two-semester course in which speaking, listening, reading, writing and culture are emphasized.

 

Homework:  Written homework will be assigned every day to guide students through the text and to prepare them for class discussion.  Homework will be collected randomly, so all assignments must be completed in such a way that they may be turned in when requested (neatly written out on a clean sheet of paper).  Homework is due during class when the instructor requests it. No late homework assignments will be accepted without written, verifiable documentation from a medical professional.  To be fair to classmates and the instructor, there are no exceptions to this rule.

 

Lab Manual: It is obligatory to do the “Lab Manual” on your own. It will help you when taking the oral part of quizzes and tests.

 

Class participation and preparation, absences: Preparation for class and class discussion are interdependent; an essential part of any course dealing with a foreign language is dialogue and discussion of the assigned texts.  It is crucial that you do all of the assignments at home to be able to participate actively in class.  Participation in class includes volunteering in class discussions, responding to questions, coming to class prepared, and being pivotal to completing group tasks.  Activities that negatively affect your participation grade include failing to contribute to class discussions, sitting passively during group work, arriving late, “popping out” during class, absence from class, and leaving early.  PLEASE NOTE: Because participation in class and group discussions is so important to the learning process, for each unexcused absence over three (3), 1% will be deducted from the course grade at the end of the semester.

 

Academic misconduct:  As stated in the EIU undergraduate catalogue, “it is assumed that students will honor the tradition of academic honesty”.  Academic honesty prohibits the following: cheating (the use of unauthorized materials, assistance, etc. during exams), plagiarism (to present ideas and statements of another person as own), and facilitating academic dishonesty (to help another student do any of the above).  With this in mind consider the following: all written work (including homework) must be your work.  You may not get any kind of help from an outside source—including but not limited to a tutor, computer spell checker, grammar checker, computer translator, etc.—other than your instructor.  Any of these activities will be investigated and sanctions will be levied.  Any suspected breach of academic honesty will be dealt with according to the provisions outlined in the Student Conduct Code.

 

Withdrawals:  The last day to drop the course with an automatic “W” is Friday, July 20th.

 

Evaluation Policy:  Students are expected to take all quizzes, tests, and exams at the appointed time.  Make-ups of announced and unannounced quizzes and exams will NOT be given except in the most extreme cases (verifiable illness, hospitalization, injury accident, etc).  Make-ups in these cases may be approved by the instructor ONLY when the student notifies him prior to or during the class period when the exam, etc. takes place or is due (Call instructor at 581-5217).  Unexcused absences from any activity will incur a grade of ZERO (0) and may NOT BE MADE UP.  It is imperative that the students keep an accurate report of his/her grades attained in class.  If you have any questions about your grades come and see me in my office.  Daily and active class participation is essential.
