A student who must miss a class should speak to the instructor and get a Dean's excuse. Assignments should be presented in the following class meeting, unless otherwise specified by the instructor. Homework includes also regular use of the language lab and the computer lab, and students must make sure to secure time slots in the labs in advance. Failure to prepare homework will result in substantial grade deduction. The course will cover roughly one lesson each week.
Students are responsible for being prepared for class.
Advance reading is required for each class. Deviations from syllabus will be announced in advance. Grades are based on attendance, participation, preparedness, exercises, quizzes, and tests. Each absence without proper reason will result in a reduction of two points from the final grade. Four late comings will be counted as one absence.
