Attendance
Absences:
Attendance and participation are 15% of your final grade in this class, because speaking and listening are very important parts of learning a language. We encourage you to attend every class.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday: You are allowed 5 unexcused absences per semester. Any more than 5 unexcused absence will negatively affect your participation/attendance grade.
Tuesday, Thursday: You are allowed 4 unexcused absences per semester. Any more than 4 unexcused absence will negatively affect your participation/attendance grade.
Unexcused absence: no documentation that absence was due to illness, family emergency, or death in family. Documentation must be provided within one week in order for an absence to be excused. Documentation: official letter from a doctor including exact date(s), death notice/obituary, official letter from UIC coach, etc. Not sure what you need? Ask your instructor.
No make-ups on any work without a documented excuse. Missed exam, quiz, oral, homework without documentation = zero.
Students who register late:
Students who officially register for this course after the first day during the add/drop period have the option to make up online and paper homework by 9 am on the date of the first exam. After the first exam, missing homework may not be made up.
