See Bonus Points section under Basic Completion of the Course. Activities are determined by the instructor and may consist of such activities as quizzes, speeches, group work, speech outlines, speech evaluations, critiques of outside speakers, plays, or activities, class participation, etc. Exercises are used extensively to build listening and speaking skills. Those of you who attend all classes will be given 10 bonus points. Those who miss only one class will receive 5 bonus points.
All absences count here - even excused ones.
You are expected to present speeches and complete exams or assignments at the scheduled time. Any missed speeches, exams, or assignments may be made up only with instructor approval. Unless you contact me during your absence and we make other arrangements, makeup work is due on your first day back in class. Only the following reasons will be considered in determining whether or not you are allowed to makeup a speech, exam or assignment. If you miss an assignment, consult with me as soon as possible.
