Daily Schedule
|
What follows
is a tentative schedule of work; it may change as we go along to meet
the particular needs of the class and circumstances as they develop
throughout the semester. It is your responsibility to be in class,
listen, understand, and adjust accordingly to those changes.
I will list the homework due in the next class on the board every class period. Have all homework ready to turn in at the beginning of class. Do not plan to do your homework during class time; it will not be accepted. There should be NO COPYING (photocopying or hand copying) of a classmate's notes from the lectures. This is cheating and it will not be accepted. The homework and content of Focus on Pronunciation assignments will be updated on the website based on the needs of the students. Remember to check the website regularly for changes. back to top |
