A foreign language cannot be mastered alone or in absentia. The student will be expected to
attend all classes and to respond to exercises and questions asked. If the students name is called and s/he
does not respond, a zero will result for the daily participation grade. Any student who participates in all
classes will receive 5 extra points added to the overall participation grade for the semester. The completed
laboratory manual and workbook are also factored into the participation grade. Both the lab manual and
the workbook will be handed in at the mid-term test and at the final. There will be no substitutes for
participation. Under no circumstances will make-up tests be given nor will incomplete grades be granted
