of each course. These will be established in writing on the individual course outline. Attendance will be kept by
the instructor for administrative and counseling purposes.
ATTENDANCE POLICY IN THIS COURSE:
The study of a foreign-language necessitates that students attend classes regularly in order to achieve proficiency.

be taken at the beginning of each class session. Each student is responsible for all material presented. If absent from
a class, students are responsible for obtaining materials missed, information on assignments, etc. by contacting a

always be homework for every class, you can add the missing homework to the next homework and gain a better
grade to make up for the missing day’s work.
Quizzes/pop-quizzes will be given every class, promptly at the beginning of the specified class period. Late students
will not be given extra time in which to complete the quiz. There will be no make-up for a missed pop-quiz. Official
