considered “late”. For a late submission, there will be a 50% deduction if submitted before
the next class starts. If submitted in or after the next class, no points will be awarded. Also,
there will be a deduction if homework is incomplete, or if homework does not reflect your
mastery of the subject.

Frequent quizzes on vocabulary and grammar. Please note that you take vocabulary quizzes
as part of your preparation for the next lesson, while you take grammar quizzes as a review
of the previous lesson. The two lowest quiz scores will be dropped in calculating the final

informed participation is expected. Your preparation and review of the material for each

the classroom. In-class assignments (e.g., show and tell, skit presentation, dictation) will
also be graded as your performance in class. You cannot open the textbook or take notes

unless so instructed. Try to show off how much you have prepared for the day, and do not be
afraid of making mistakes. There will be a deduction if your active participation is not
reflected in performance, such as using a smartphone, chatting in English with classmates,
or leaving the classroom too often.

If you miss one class, 0.5 point will be deducted from the final grade. You must be on time for
classes. If you come to class late, 0.2 point will be deducted from the final grade. Be in class by
the time the start bell rings. If you are late more than 25 minutes, it will be counted as an
absence. If you have to miss a class for an excused absence (for example, sickness or injury),
please consult with your instructor in advance. It is your responsibility to contact the
instructor to find out what you have missed and what you need to do for the next class. You
are expected to be professional and respectful when attending class. No chewing gum or food
in class.
