Having another student write or correct your paper is not permitted. Journal writing is less formal, and grades are based on length and quality of writing without too much regard for grammar and mechanics. The purpose of journal writing is to give you practice getting ideas down on paper quickly and to help you develop fluency in writing. In the journal you will write new words from the readings and listening. The purpose of the vocabulary journals is to help you learn new words and how to use them.
Exams are three hours and are cumulative.
