Homefun Practice (8 x 20 points; 160 total)

In order to give you practice in the linguistic analysis techniques we cover in each module, you will complete homefun practice tasks during each module.

In order to assess your ability to put the knowledge gained in each module into practice, you will take a quiz on the last class day of each module. These quizzes will be based on information covered in the lectures and will resemble the kinds of things you did on in-class practice activities and the homefun practice.

There will be two exams: a midterm (250 points) and a final exam (350 points). They will both consist of problems similar in content and format to those on homefun tasks and quizzes.
