GRADING AND
EXAMINATIONS
Attendance
20% Arriving
late, leaving early, or behaving disruptively will lower your grade. You should
have at least two classmates as your study group. When you miss a class, your
group can help you catch up. It will be your own responsibility to find out
what you have missed and the assigned homework.
Homework
20% In order to receive full points,
homework needs to be turned in on time and to be fully corrected afterwards.
Any homework assignments that are late will not get full points. If your HW is
late for 1 day, you will lose 1 point on this HW. If your HW is late for 2
days, you will lose 2 points on this HW. If your HW is late for 3 days or more
than 3 days, you will get zero point on this HW.
Class performance 10% Includes
Class Work Preparation and Classroom participation. It is important to practice
speaking Chinese in class. Also, playing with cell phone, chatting or eating is
not allowed in the classroom.
Tests and presentation
30% We will have 2 tests and 1 presentation. Test 1: Lesson 9-11; Test
2: Lesson 12-14; If you miss a test, you will get one chance to
make it up. As for the presentation, you will use the Chinese vocabulary
you have learned from L9 to L16 to make up a dialogue and present the
dialogue with your teammates in front of the class.
Final Exam 20%
The sections of the final exam are similar to every lesson’s tests, and it will
be comprehensive of the whole quarter’s work. It may consist of Listening,

Classroom
Learning Atmosphere
Classroom Environment:
Please read the Arts & Humanities Division
Policy: http://bellevuecollege.edu/ArtsHum/policy.html for full details on your classroom responsibilities.
Part of your classroom
responsibilities involves professional behavior toward the instructor and the
class itself. Disruptive behavior is disrespectful behavior. When you are
in doubt about any behavior, consult your instructor during office hours.
When disruptive behavior occurs,
instructors will speak to or e-mail the students concerned. Those students are
then responsible for ending the disruptions at once. Failure to do so may
result in removal of the students from class. Please feel free to contact me
with any concerns you have regarding this class.
