Grading: Grades will be assessed as follows:
- 10% Attendance and Participation
- 30% Examination One
- 30% Examination Two
- 30% Examination Three
Attendance: Attendance is imperative. I shall take attendance regularly. There will be
occasions when medical or other reasons will force you to miss a class, but if you arrange your
affairs carefully now, you’ll reduce the likelihood of such interruptions.
Your Responsibilities:
- Class preparation. You must thoroughly and carefully read all assigned texts before our class meetings.
- Class contributions are also essential. Although it takes different students different amounts
of time to do an assignment, you should allow two hours for every hour of class time. Please
set up other obligations (e.g., work) accordingly.
- Student conduct. You’re expected to treat your classmates considerately, participate in
class discussion, arrive at the start of class, and stay to the end.
Note on Examinations
- The course is divided into three sections. You will take an examination at the end of each section. You will be notified two weeks in advance of each examination.
IMPORTANT NOTE: YOU MUST COMPLETE ALL COURSE REQUIREMENTS TO
OBTAIN A PASSING GRADE IN THIS COURSE.
