No make-ups will be given for the short, daily quizzes, as you are allowed to drop one grade. Oral sections may be given during the class period preceding the exam date. Make-ups for exams and the other two chapter tests will be given at the discretion of the instructor and only in cases of serious illness or emergency. The final exam will be a comprehensive examination on all material covered in the course. Exams and quizzes will not be graded on a curve.
All assignments are due in class on the date for which they are assigned.
All work in the course must be completed to receive a passing grade. Since participation in class is essential to the development of speaking and listening skills, you are encouraged to attend class regularly. Any absence for whatever reason will lower your class participation grade. If you do miss a class, it is in your interest to speak to me. It is your responsibility to find out what material is covered and what assignments are due when you are absent.
