Language acquisition takes study, practice, and a great deal of time on task.
Students who miss class receive a zero for that session unless the instructor is notified with good reason, in which case the student may receive partial credit. The student is responsible to get missed assignments and notes or handouts from the instructor or another student. Thoroughly prepare assignments before class. Students should plan on two hours of preparation time for every one hour of class. In other words, a three hour class requires six hours per week study time.
