Assignments/Exercises: essay homework novel reading: Wonder by R. J. Palacio (each week assigned pages should be finished before class meetings) assigned presentation (12-15 minutes long. Every one in class will give one presentation this semester) in-class writing assignment Grading: class participation: 15% presentation: 5% essay homework and in-class writing tasks: 40% mid-term exam: 15% final exam: 15% Class Policies 1. Please come to class on time. You should arrive before 1:15 P.M. Being late once is equivalent to one absence. Three absences will seriously hurt your participation score. If you have valid excuse for being late or absent, please kindly inform me and you may be excused. Asking for a leave via Facebook or email is not acceptable. Please ask for a leave using the school online leave application system. 2. Finish reading the pages assigned in the text book/novel before you come to class. We use the system of flipping the classroom. Pre-class reading and in-class participation are of utmost importance. 3. We’ll do a great deal of timed in-class writing and less essay assignments for you to do outside the classroom. 4. Hand in your essays on time and do not plagiarize (if you cite any material please list its source at the end of your essay). 5. Mind your register in your essays and use formal English only. |
