Participation 20 %Students must attend classes and come prepared to participate fully in classactivities. This means listening to the DVDs and learning new vocabulary andstructure so that they can actively use them in class.In this course you are permitted two unexcused absences (absences not caused byillness). If you have more than two unexcused absences your grade for the coursewill be lowered by one “mark” for each additional unexcused absence. Forexample, a third unexcused absence causes an A to become an A- and so on.2. Assignments 30 %There will be daily written assignments due at the beginning of class on the daydesignated in the syllabus. Late homework assignments may be checked but willnot be given any credit. Students are encouraged to study and work on homeworkassignments together. It is important to follow up on any instructor's comments onthe homework, and it is the students’ responsibility to come to office hours or makean appointment to see their instructors.

In addition, regular attendance isessential to achieving a passing grade in a course. A class constitutes lectures, studentpresentations, discussions, seminars, field visits, tests, and examinations.In addition to physical presence in class, a student’s class participation score of 20% will bebased on the mastery of assigned course readings as reflected in a consistent, validcontribution to class discussions, in-class exercises, and in asking questions that enrich theon-going discourse. Occasional participation will have a negative impact on a student’sparticipation score.Class/placement attendance is formally recorded and incorporated into a student’s finalgrade.Attendance is taken at the beginning of each class. Any student arriving late to class byfive minutes or more will be marked absent for that session, unless the tardiness isexcusable. (Note that commute time from a residence hall/class/placement site is notusually a valid excuse.)In the event of an anticipated absence, it is the responsibility of the student to contact thefaculty member/placement site supervisor in advance to request approval. Absence fromclass does not relieve a student of responsibility for assignments. Class/placementabsences are deemed excused only at the discretion of the faculty member/placementsite supervisor and require documentation, where possible.An excused absence or an excused reason for being late to class is any documentedemergency and/or acute illness or injury directly involving the student. Unexplainedabsence is not permitted. Two unexplained absences by a student are immediatelyreported to FIE staff to make a decision on further action.

Late Submission of Written WorkWritten work may be submitted later than the due date only with express permission fromthe faculty. Credit will not be given for work received late, except in exceptionalcircumstances of personal illness or similar (which must be made known to FIE at the time).Documentation of exceptional circumstances from a third party, such as a doctor’s notewill be required. Any extensions made beyond the last class meeting must be committedto writing and include information on the exceptional circumstances that require theextension, the nature of work yet to be submitted, and the date by which the work will bereceived. If said work is not received by the agreed extension date, barring furtherexceptional circumstances, the work will not be given credit.Disability/Special Needs Statement:Any student who feels s/he may need an accommodation based on the impact of adisability/special need should contact me privately to discuss your specific needs. Pleaseensure you have provided FIE with documents that establish the special accommodationsmade for you at your home institution.
