Assessment

Course Requirements
You will be given a Mid-Term and Final Exam both of which will be posted here and made available according to the schedule for the quarter.

You are required to post at least one comment per week in the Communication folder and respond to one of your classmates' postings. Your comments must be language appropriate, related to the topic and reflective. Use the questions in each author's communication section as a guideline.

Writing is an important part of this reading class. You must electronically submit four essays which will be posted in an online Student Essay folder. The topics and guidelines for these essays will be discussed in class.

Preparation for class is essential. It increases your ability to engage in meaningful class discussions and encourages reflection. Your involvement in class discussions will contribute to determining your final grade.

Attendance is mandatory for all your classes. If you are absent, please email me or a classmate to get the day's assignment. At the end of the quarter, you will receive a Certificate of Attendance if you have attended a minimum of 80% of all your classes. If you have attended less than 80% of all your classes, you will be put on probation. If your attendance is less than 80% of all classes for two quarters, you will not be allowed to register for classes at The English Language Center. If you are not certain how many classes you have missed, ask your instructors.

Learning a language can be a very enjoyable and positive process. It requires time and effort in order to maximize the progress you'll make. Use your time wisely and enjoy learning English.
