If you are at Antelope Valley, you may take the pretest at the CSUB Center on the AVC campus. If you are at College of the Canyons, you may take the exam at the Testing Center on the COC campus. If you are at any other distant learning site, please call me, and I will make special arrangements with you. Students have until September 19 to complete the pretest. Students who have not completed the pretest by that date will receive a failing grade.
Students can only prevent receiving the failing grade by dropping the course .
All students in the class must take a posttest on the same day as the final examination. I will use the score on the posttest instead of the final examination to calculate the final grade in the class if the score on the posttest is higher than that on the final examination. Evaluation Students are required to take three exams during the quarter, one exam each on phonology, morphology, and syntax. The examinations will consist of both objective questions and short essay questions. The objective questions will cover specific details of the structure of English, and the essay questions will cover important theoretical concepts and the problems of linguistic analysis.
