The no-English rule will be strictly enforced. You will only learn Russian by speaking it and your full active participation in every recitation session is required. Requirements Participation in all aspects of the recitations is mandatory. This course is designed to develop all language skills and cannot accommodate students who wish to learn only the written language. Asking the instructor in this course not to require active spoken participation in recitation is every bit as outrageous as asking a calculus instructor to teach only addition and subtraction.
Attendance is mandatory at all lecture and recitation sessions.
Recitation instructors will not review or re-teach lecture material to students who were absent from the lecture. Students should come to recitation fully prepared for class. Written homework will be assigned for practically every class meeting and must be turned in on the day it is due. Late homework will not be accepted. Instructors will return homework promptly.
