conversation skills, presentation skills)

Evaluation of these skills will be in the form of
Regular quizzes- 40 points
Outside Assignments and Reports - 20 points
Midterm - 15 points
Final Exam - 25 points
Final Exam Date: December 11th from 7-9 a.m.
Grades are based on points

Late Work
If your assignments are late, you will have one point deducted for each class period.
Quizzes cannot be made up unless you notify me before the date of the quiz. You must take the exams on the date they are scheduled.
Academic Honesty
Do your own homework and tests. Do not copy other people's answers. Anyone found cheating on homework or tests will receive an F and may be dropped from class.
