Make-up Work Policy
ONLY students who have been absent are allowed to make-up any missed work, homework, test or quiz. This must be done on your own time, within 2 tutorials sessions or two FLEX Fridays after their return to class. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE to get your missed work; class time is not the appropriate moment to make up for it. All make up work must be completed by the third school day returning from an absence to receive Credit. You only have 5 class days to complete missing work.

Class Participation: Class participation in the target language is a key component in practicing your communicative skills, which are essential in language proficiency. Students must be attentive, participate in partner activities, speak the target language formally and informally, and come to class prepared. You will receive a weekly speaking participation grade.
