Participation also includes you asking questions about any of the lecture concepts or homework material which you do not understand. The class is conducted in a non-adversarial, cooperative manner to make this as easy for you as possible. You must be in attendance to participate. It is due when it is due. There are absolutely no exceptions to this rule.
All assignments are due as announced orally or in writing.
Tests may be made up if missed due to illness, accident, or death in the family and then only with the expressed permission of your instructor within 48 hours after returning to class or as arranged with the instructor depending on circumstances. If you are unable to come to a test, you must contact your instructor as soon as possible. Some items are taken from homework, some items are unfamiliar. Correctness of English grammar, spelling and punctuation are taken into account when grading the translation portions of the exams. The Final Exam is comprehensive and not optional.
