Grading |
Your final grade will be calculated from a multitude of assessments as follows:
1. Class participation 10%
This includes attendance and participation in class activities. Please be sure to come to class on time, and prepared (i.e. having completed the assigned readings and other assignments, if any) for discussion. It is expected that you will attend every class and participate actively in discussion. Please let me know that you will miss a class as soon as you become aware of a problem.
2. Quizzes 50%
There will be two quizzes during this semester for the chapters we cover. The dates for the quizzes will be announced in class. Missed quizzes which you are excused must be made up. However, missed quizzes will be excused only if you present a medical excuse or in the event of an emergency which is discussed with me prior to your absence.
3. Weekly News Report 40%
Each assigned group (approximately 4-6 Ss) will select pieces of news that they are most interested in from the newspapers/Internet websites, and present to the class. The news report should be clear, well-prepared and education-oriented, which means the audience will benefit from your group contributions. The grading will be focused on the content, organization, clarity, as well as pronunciation. Please email the selected topics to the teacher before you make the presentation (A Word file is preferred). 10-20 minutes will be given to each report. |
