Be prepared to discuss the reading and to share your answers to the reading exercises with the class. You will not receive partial credit for incomplete exercises. Compositions: This semester you will write three short compositions on a variety of topics. These compositions will be graded for content, organization and grammar. For the first two, you will write rough drafts that will be peer edited and a final draft. You will turn in only a final draft of the third composition. Exams: The exams will cover all material studied in each particular chapter. Exams will include sections on oral and reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar and writing. You will take four unit exams, a midterm and a final. We will review prior to each exam. Please do not wait until the day before the exam to ask questions about course topics. Project and oral exam: For the cultural project, you will create, in groups, a brief oral presentation.
