Abstract

Course Requirements Attendance and Participation. I allow FOUR unexcused absences for the semester. Each additional unexcused absence will result in a decrease of three points from your overall grade. Excused absences entail providing documentation of a prior commitment (e.g., jury duty) or personal or family emergency (e.g., illness). Such absences are subject to the instructor’s approval. Please keep track of all your absences (note the specific days you missed class); at the end of the semester you must pledge your attendance record. Chronic tardiness will not be tolerated; a tardy will count as half of an absence. Participation is more than just attendance. I expect each student to come to class prepared to translate (with no written notes for assistance), do the exercises, and answer questions. You will be graded each day according to your performance in class; this constitutes 20% of your semester grade. This may also include checking your written work from time to time. Also, NO LAPTOPS are allowed in class unless you have a special dispensation from the college.
