You may not use class time to complete work that was assigned to be done at home. This is especially important to keep in mind for work that is collected for a grade. A general topic and related grammar points will be announced one or two class meetings before the class during which these paragraphs will be written. A specific topic is given the day you write the paragraph. Paragraph grades may be not be dropped.
Daily participation is required.
You must become actively involved in the learning process. You must be well-prepared and participate often in order to receive an A for this portion of your grade. You are expected to volunteer regularly and will not be forced to participate, but your grade will be adversely affected if you choose not to do so. Workbook exercises are to be done at your own pace. They are helpful for additional practice or as quiz and exam reviews.
