Assignments SAM and instructor- created activities Regular completion of homework assignments is essential for your success in this course. You will have daily homework as outlined on our tentative calendar. Every two weeks, I will post a current document to the Assignments page of Blackboard that will detail the learning objectives, assignments, and due dates for the following two weeks. Assignments must be submitted by the indicated deadline, there are no make- ups for homework assignments. Students are encouraged to access this document early in order to address any questions before assignments are due. The assignments can involve reading/listening comprehension, writing, and speaking and will be reflective of content presented in the textbook/lessons. Quizzes (2) Quizzes may be oral or written. Instructor will inform students of the format. First Quiz: Week 3; Second Quiz: Week 8 Quizzes will be both oral and multiple choice/short answer. They will be specific to the previous unit of instruction, though language constructions learned previously will not be excluded. Language learning is an ongoing process and you are required to continue reviewing what you have studied regularly. Non- oral parts will be timed, so it is not recommended that students rely on their textbooks to provide answers. Midterm Week 6 The midterm exam will cover the first six weeks of classes. Students will be given a study guide 10 days prior to the exam date (see calendar). The midterm will incorporate listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It will not be proctored, but will be timed. Students requiring test- taking accommodations need to speak with the instructor at the outset of the course. It is not recommended that students rely on the textbook to complete the exam. Exams will be weighted toward the oral portion (in the form of a video submission or skype session). Video Project Weeks 4-8 *Due Week 9 Note: this is an incremental project- meaning we will work on elements of the project over 4 weeks. You will research a chosen topic and create a 5-10 minute video project. The topics and detailed rubrics will be posted on Blackboard. Final Exam Week 11 The final exam will be cumulative, with an emphasis on the last four weeks of classes. Students will be given a study guide 10 days prior to the exam date (see calendar). The final exam will follow the same format as the midterm and will incorporate listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It will not be proctored, but will be timed. Students requiring test- taking accommodations need to speak with the instructor at the outset of the course. It is not recommended that students rely on the textbook to complete the exam. Exams will be weighted toward the oral portion (in the form of a video submission or skype session). The grading scale is as follows: A (94%- 100%) A- (90%- 93%) B+ (87%- 89%) B (84%- 86%) B- (80%- 83%) C+ (77%- 79%) C (74%- 76%) C- (70%- 73%) D+ (67%- 69%) D (64%- 66%) D- (60%- 63%) F (0-59%)

Academic Honesty Students are expected to adhere to Oregon State University s guidelines for academic honest. At OSU academic dishonesty is defined by Oregon Administrative Rules 576-015- 0020.1.a- c as: An intentional act of deception in which a student seeks to claim credit for the work or effort of another person or uses unauthorized materials or fabricated information in any academic work. Aiding as well as being aided is considered academic dishonesty. You are expended to submit your own work for all your assignments, posts on Blackboard, and other communications. Clearly give credit to the work of others if you use references (not necessary for the textbook). Academic dishonesty will be reported and will result in the grade of F on the assignment. For more information please review the university policies on this matter: http://oregonstate.edu/studentconduct Students Requiring Accommodations Accommodations are collaborative efforts between students, faculty, and Disability Access Services (DAS). Students with accommodations approved through DAS are responsible for contacting the faculty member in charge of the course prior to or during the first week of the term to discuss accommodations. Students who believe they are eligible for accommodations but who have not yet obtained approval through DAS should contact DAS immediately at 737-4098. Students Evaluation of Teaching We encourage you to engage in the course evaluation process each term online, they are extremely important to improve the course and future learning experience for students. The evaluation form will be available toward the end of each term, and you will be sent instructions through ONID. You will login to Student Online Services to respond to the online questionnaire. The results on the form are anonymous and are not tabulated until after grades are posted. Diversity Statement Oregon State University strives to create an affirming climate for all students including underrepresented and marginalized individuals and groups. Diversity encompasses differences in age, color, ethnicity, national origin, gender, physical or mental ability, religion, socioeconomic background, veteran status, sexual orientation, and marginalized groups. We believe diversity is the synergy, connection, acceptance, and mutual learning fostered by the interaction of different human characteristics.

Expectations for Student Conduct: You are expected to submit your own work in all your assignments, postings to the discussion board, and other communications, and to clearly give credit to the work of others when you use it. Academic dishonesty will result in a grade of F. Link to Statement of Expectations for Student Conduct: http://guides.library.oregonstate.edu/subject- guide/1771- Academic- Integrity- for- Students Communications: Ground Rules for Online Communication & Participation: Online threaded discussions are public messages, and all writings in this area will be viewable by the entire class or assigned group members. If you prefer that only the instructor sees your communication, send it to me by email, and be sure to identify yourself and the class. Posting of personal contact information is discouraged (e.g. telephone numbers, address, personal website address). Online Instructor Response Policy: I will check email frequently and will respond to course- related questions within 24 hours. Please allow extra time over weekends. Observation of "Netiquette": All your online communications need to be composed with fairness, honesty and tact. Spelling and grammar are very important in an online course. What you put into an online course reflects on your level of professionalism. Here are a couple of references that discuss writing online: http://goto.intwg.com/; netiquette: http://www.albion.com/netiquette/corerules.html. Please check the Announcements area and the course syllabus before you ask general course "housekeeping" questions (i.e. how do I submit assignment 3?). If you don't see your answer there, then please contact me. Guidelines for a productive and effective online classroom The discussion board is your space to interact with your colleagues related to current topics or responses to your colleague s statements. It is expected that each student will participate in a mature and respectful fashion. Participate actively in the discussions, having completed the readings and thought about the issues. Pay close attention to what your classmates write in their online comments. Ask clarifying questions, when appropriate. These questions are meant to probe and shed new light, not to minimize or devalue comments. Think through and reread your comments before you post them. Assume the best of others in the class and expect the best from them. Value the diversity of the class. Recognize and value the experiences, abilities, and knowledge each person brings to class. Disagree with ideas, but do not make personal attacks. Do not demean or embarrass others. Do not make sexist, racist, homophobic, or victim- blaming comments at all. Be open to be challenged or confronted on your ideas or prejudices. Note: Changes may be made to the syllabus and calendar throughout the term. The instructor will provide notifications about any necessary modifications.
