Your instructor will take roll at each class meeting. No more than three absences are allowed during the semester. After six absences, you will be asked to drop the course. Absence from a class is not an excuse for missing homework assignments, tests or exams. You should make sure you contact a classmate in order to obtain the missed work and assignments.
Late arrivals disrupt the class.
Three late arrivals will be considered the equivalent of one absence. This work will be integral to the course, and of primary importance. In addition, there may be announced, short written quizzes throughout the semester, testing both comprehension of the course content and acquisition of linguistic proficiency. There will be no make-up quizzes. If you miss one, you will receive a score of zero.
