The instructor helps the students by introducing related vocabulary, initiating topical class discussions, and teaching reading techniques that will help them increase their comprehension, retention, and efficiency. Students will have the opportunity to work in a large group setting, to study collaboratively with classmates, and to read and respond independently. Students will receive feedback on their progress in the form of vocabulary, comprehension and skill quizzes, unit tests and final exam. Students are required to complete all work specified by the Instructor. A time limit for making up homework assignments or in-class quizzes and tests may be established by the instructor.
Students are responsible for the content and integrity of all academic work submitted.
Regular attendance is essential to succeed in this course. Three latenesses count as one absence. No more than 6 absences are permitted. If an absence occurs on the day of a quiz or exam, arrangements for make-up must be scheduled before the exam is returned to the class. Homework assignments must be completed by the day assigned.
