Workload: Students need to be reading and writing well to participate in this class. Each student will need to read a short chapter from the student book and complete a worksheet or short quiz most weeks. Quizzes are open book. We will have quizzes, a midterm test, and a final test. I will grade the class. 50% of the grade will be participation. Quizzes will be 25% and Midterm and Final together will be 25%. Midterm and final are in class and closed book, but we will review for the midterm and final tests quite a bit. The grades are simply an incentive to complete the work.
