To develop writing skills all students will be required to keep a weekly journal. Focus on Russian. For some of the year the class will be conducted on an independent study basis, with self-study expected of each student followed by meetings with the instructor to review the material. Please note that this is a regular CC class, therefore four unexcused absences will result in No Credit for the course. Final grades are based on general effort, attitude and achievement throughout the course, completion of written assignments, weekly journal, vocabulary quizzes, two tests and active classroom participation.
Homework is to be handed in on the day assigned.
Homework received after noon on Thursday will be marked 'late' and the grade will be lower. A weekly journal entry should be a minimum 100 words in Russian. These journal entries will not be graded, however it is required that you turn your journal in every week. Failure to return in a journal entry will result in a zero for that week. Late submission of journal entries will not be accepted.
