In class, students will intensively read academic passages from the textbook and complete the related activities. There will be regular quizzes to check the retention of the skills taught. For homework and Active Learning, students will extensively read a novella and fill out logs based on the readings.

Attendance & Participation - Students are expected to be on time for class and actively participate in it. Arriving late, leaving early, sleeping, using a phone, or not participating in general will be considered as a late. Two such “lates” constitute an absence. Arriving over 10 minutes late or leaving more than 10 minutes early also constitutes an absence. Four absences or more will result in the failure of this course.
