Evidence of completion of assigned homework (either online or by showing me your written work at the end of each chapter) will determine the preparation part of this grade.

Exams will include listening and written sections.

Quizzes Approximately every other week, students will take a short quiz (10-15 minutes) at the beginning of class on the vocabulary and grammar of the current chapter.
