Read the pertinent chapter in Wheelock (Ch. 1 is under Course Materials) ? Open and complete the Module (usually 3-4 sections) ? Review forms and Vocabulary with the Flashcards and Audio Materials ? Write and new forms and their full paradigms on paper. ? Recite things along with the Audio Mp3 Student Expectations & Grading 4) A conscientious student should plan on at least 2 hours per class-day to complete the Modules and Materials (Audio, Flashcards, Texts, Videos, etc.) 5) Grading is based largely upon the following: (1) the consistent quality of work in the Modules (2) 2 Tests, the first covering Chs. 1-10 and the second Chs. 11-20 6) Modules are to be completed and submitted on the date on which they are listed (above). Submission by midnight is recommended, so that I may correct and return your work quickly. 7) Modules are graded (out of 10) on a combination of completeness and a reasonable amount of correctness. Modules which are insufficiently complete or of uniformly poor quality will be returned to the student for further corrections. Upon resubmission, full credit will be given. Materials & Support 8) In addition to the daily 'Module' supporting materials include any of the following: (1) Audio Mp3 files for Conjugations and Declensions, (2) Video instructions (for select materials), (3) Powerpoint materials (4) Flashcards, (5) Texts with Illustrations 9) Online Office hours (at least 1 hour per day online during the week, to be determined by the needs of the group). 10) Corrected Modules and Tests are usually returned on the next classday. Communication: Internal MESSAGES 11) Communication should be largely by the INTERNAL EMAIL found under the MESSAGES icon on the left-hand menu of the Course Homepage. 12) Please ask a lot of questions, so that I know both that you are engaged and that this material causes you to think! Good luck!!! Magister
