Class site:

This
site:
If you do not attend a class, you are
still expected to do the work from that day and email it to the teacher BEFORE the
next class. All work will be
posted on this site, including listening sections, homework assignments, and
other resources. I will post updates
from our sessions every day. I may ask you to bring certain documents
from the site to class. You may check your grades online by entering
your ID number in the section titled "What's my grade?"
Missing class: No
"make-up" exams will be given. On an urgent basis, you may
consult the English department regarding "rattrapage."
Final Grade Rubric:
25% - Listening:
You will be graded on your ability
to paraphrase
and summarize an audio clip played at the beginning of each
class. You should keep these summaries in a journal or other safe place;
you may be called to present them at random for multiple grades. For the majority of the time, this is a
participation grade. If you
participate, you receive a “✓” which does not affect your
grade. If you are absent or do not
participate, you receive a 0, which will lower your average. (See “This Site” section above).
25 % - Presentations:
Multiple grades per semester, may
be replaced by debate
·

30 minutes of each class will be dedicated to self-assessment and reflection in

the listening section
