Course Requirements (Sample: LTKO 2A)
1) Attendance
Attendance at every class is mandatory. Exceptions will only be made for occasions where official documentation for the absence can be obtained (e.g., medical emergency). An official document will be required for each excused absence. Five absences are permitted without affecting the student's grade. Each subsequent absence will result in a deduction of points from the total score. If your absences are 10 times or more, you will automatically get an F.
2) Participation
Active participation in class discussions and activities is a key component of the course. The primary language used in class is Korean. Students are not permitted to speak English in class, especially concerning issues unrelated to the lessons. Each tardy arrival (5 minutes or more) will result in a deduction of points from the total score. Students are also expected to bring all handouts (posted on the Korean language course Canvas), textbooks, workbooks, or course materials required for each class. Points will be deducted for any missing items.
3) Homework assignments (including reading assignments by due dates)
Late homework assignments will NOT be accepted.
4) Presentation
Students will deliver group or individual presentations during the quarter. Evaluators will assess preparation, fluency, grammar, pronunciation, sentence structure, vocabulary, and audience response. Detailed guidelines will be provided 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 valid reason for absence. To take a make-up exam, an official document justifying the absence will be required. If a student requests a make-up exam without an official document, they will receive 70% of the total points.


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)


To recognize achievements and monitor progress, the Korean language program requires a realistic and meaningful grading system. Generally, an "A" grade is awarded to acknowledge achievements that exceed specified course requirements and criteria. Such performances may not always be explicitly outlined beforehand due to their nature. "A"s are reserved for special efforts that surpass 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. Students who do not meet the minimum course standards will receive an "F" grade.

             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 %
   
STUDENTS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MUST BE PLACED INTO APPROPRIATE LEVELS ON THE BASIS OF THE INSTRUCTOR’S EVALUATION.

This course can help students retain new Sino-Korean vocabulary over a short period of time.
Prerequisite: LTKO 2C or an equivalent level of proficiency in Korean language.
