Course Policy
The following policies for the course enable us to know what to expect from each other this semester. Please see us, your lecturers, if you have any questions.
Attendance and tardiness
Your attendance is a significant factor in your success in English 1. If you’re not in class, how can we learn from you? You may be absent three times (25% of the total presence) this semester without penalty. We recommend saving these for illnesses and emergencies. If your absence is higher than 25%, you will automatically NOT be allowed to attend the final test, which is the interview conducted at the last three meetings. If you have an emergency or illness, please remain in contact with me by WA so that we can make appropriate arrangements for you to keep up with assigned work.
Bonus points
You can obtain additional bonus points by participating actively in the class, including asking questions in every meeting. Your class leader will be given the list of class students and should record any student’s participation by marking the list since the first meeting until the last meeting. The participation list should be submitted to the lecturer by the end of semester.
Late Assignments
The assignments are designed in a way that earlier assignment becomes the foundation of the next assignments. Therefore, submitting an assignment on time is critical so that you can proceed to the next ones easier and faster. All assignments must be submitted on their due date or earlier. You will be penalized 0.5 point for every day that an assignment is late.
Participation
We hope you will do your part to help foster a conducive, respectful, and comfortable environment in our class. In class, you are expected to use English all the time. Don’t worry if you think that your English is not perfect, that’s why we are here in this class, working together to leverage our English speaking skills. When contributing to class discussion—and you will, of course, contribute—please avoid the use of potentially offensive or hurtful language. We welcome your use of laptops in class, but please limit your use to tasks that are directly relevant to the coursework. Other uses of laptop are an unfair distraction to those seated around you. Please do not use mobile devices of any kind for texting, checking email, or any other activities not directly related to class activities. You will receive one warning about distracting use of technology in class. After the first warning, your distracting use of technology will cause you to be marked absent on that class day.
Student disability services
Students who need assistance or appropriate academic accommodations for a disability may contact us, the lecturers, after class, during office hours, or by appointment.
Meeting with Us, the Lecturers
We strongly encourage you to meet with us during our office hours or by appointment to discuss any aspect of the course.
Finally, again, welcome to COH1F3. We look forward to learn alongside with you this semester!
