Homework

Tomorrow

2 hrs. of extensive listening (yellow sheet)
Ex. B, Vocabulary Preparation, p. 181-182

Thursday

I returned your transcriptions today. With your transcription, you should first study my comments on your grammar and vocabulary. I've made many of the changes myself, but occasionally I've asked you to fix a subject/verb agreement error (SV), or a singular/plural error (S/PL). You should make any necessary changes and understand my comments. Second, you should add new idea and details if your transcript is fewer than 250 words. Third, you should practice reading the revised transcription aloud. When you feel confident, you should fourth record it and fifth save it in Classes/Gigger/Summer/Chapter_5/1215 or 130/YourName. Sixth, you should return the transcript to me so that I can read it while I listen to your revised recording.

Homework Policy

1. If you are absent, you are responsible for any classwork, homework, quizzes and/or tests that you missed. I will not ask you for the work. I will simply post the assignments online daily. It is your job to consult this log or a classmate.

2. If I returned or handed out any papers in class, I will place them in my box in 103. You can then pick them up Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

3. Any homework can be made up within a week. You will lose 10% for each business day that it is late. The only exceptions are for doctors' notes and extreme emergencies.

4. If you miss a Friday test, you can make it up the following Tuesday immediately after school. To do so, get a late form from the office or online (elc.byu.edu/Testing/Computerized Testing/Late test form). Next bring it to me to sign. Then you should go to the office to pay the $5 fee. After that, bring it to the lab attendants BEFORE your test on Tuesday. Finally, go take the test Tuesday at 2:35. As you can see, it's a complicated process, so don't miss your tests!

5. If you make up classwork, you will regain your participation points.

6. If you make up homework, you will regain your homework points.
