Course Requirements
1) Attendance
Attendance
at every class is mandatory. Exceptions will be made only for occasions in
which official documentation for the absence can be obtained (i.e. medical
emergency, etc.) Official document will be required for each excused absence.
Two absences are permitted without affecting the student's grade. Each
subsequent absence will result point deduction from the total points. If your
absences are 10 times or more, you will automatically get an F.
2) Participation
Active
participation in class discussion and activities are key components of the
course. The primary language used in class is Korean. Students are not
permitted to speak English while in class, especially with regarding to issues
unrelated to the lessons. Each tardiness (10 minutes or more) will result point
deduction from the total points. Students
are also expected to bring all handouts (will be posted on the Korean language
course Blackboard)/textbook/workbook/course package required for each class. If
any of them are missing, points will be deducted.
3) Homework assignments (including
reading assignments by due dates)
Late
homework assignments will NOT be accepted.
4)
Presentation
Students
will perform group or individual presentations during the quarter. In general,
the evaluator will check your preparation, fluency, grammar, pronunciation,
sentence structure, vocabulary, and reaction from the audience. The detail
guideline will be given in class.
5) Bi-weekly exams and Final exam
Exams
cover only materials discussed in class. There will be NO make-up exams without
a reasonable absence. To take a make-up exam, an official document according
for the absence will be required. In case a student wants to take a make-up
exam without an official document, he/she will get 70%
points of the total.
Grading Policy (Sample: LTKO 2A)
Your
final course grade will be determined by your performance on several components
of your activities.
1)
Attendance (3 pnt) and Participation (7 pnt)
10 points * 50 times = 500 points
2)
Homework assignments
Grammar / Reading 10 points * 15 times = 150 points
Writing (double-space minimum 2 pages) 30 points * 3 times = 90 points
3) Oral
presentation
Speech Practice 30 points * 3 times = 90
points
4)
Bi-weekly exams
100 points * 3 times =
300 points
5) Final
exam
200 points * 1 time = 200 points
(Total 1330 points)
In order
to acknowledge achievements and monitor progress, Korean language program needs
a realistic and meaningful system for grading performance. In general, I award
"A" grade to acknowledge achievements that go beyond specified course
requirements and criteria. By its nature, this type of performance cannot
always be spelled out explicitly in advance. As are reserved for special
efforts that exceeds expectations by demonstrating exceptional linguistic
abilities, skills, development, commitment, or creativity. In this course, B,
C, and D grades are awarded for praiseworthy, above average performance, satisfactory,
average performance, and minimum passing performance, respectively. Those who
do not satisfy the minimum course standard will be assigned F grades.
A- = 90 - 92.9
% A
= 93 - 100 %
B- = 80 - 82.9
% B
= 83 - 86.9 % B+
= 87 - 89.9 %
C- = 70 - 79.9
% C
= 73 - 76.9 % C+
= 77 - 79.9 %
D- = 60 - 69.9
% D
= 63 - 66.9 %
D+ = 67 - 69.9 %
F = 0 - 59.9 %
