We will do more than merely translate in class. Requirements: Three translation examinations, including grammar questions: 25% each (75%) Class participation (25%) Class participation: Regular preparation and class participation are expected, and will affect your grade. Foreign language study is such that certain aspects of one's performance cannot be judged by examinations, but rather by class performance. 25% of your final grade will be based upon daily class participation. Effective class participation assumes preparation of daily assignments before class, and therefore submitted homework will be part of the assessment. Class attendance. Students are expected to go to class regularly. Accommodations for students with disabilities: Southwestern University is committed to assisting students with disabilities.
