Language acquisition is a cumulative process.
A weak foundation results in weak performance. This is detrimental in a language course since bad habits acquired and non-mastery of basic material result in difficulty in successful mastery of subsequent material. This in turn results in students becoming overwhelmed and frustrated. To ensure that this situation does not arise, all exams will be cumulative. Please do a complete and systematic review of these chapters to ensure your success in the course.
