An assignment is considered complete only after you have successfully corrected all the errors that you made. If you want to raise your grade you may re-write your assignment. You have 1 week to do so. The grade of the correction is your final grade. One of the major goals this semester is to improve your speaking and discussion abilities.
Every student has to actively participate in every class.
Since you will be writing a diary of each class, you will be expected to give an oral synopsis of a previous class meeting. Each student will sign up for 3-4 such presentations during the semester. Since a major portion of the grade for this course is determined by class preparation and participation, attendance in this class is mandatory. If you have a justifiable reason for being absent from a class, be sure to discuss this with me. The grading in this course is based on the grades of the diaries essays homework assignments oral grade as well as on class preparation and participation.
