This course will cover through Chapter 3 of Yookoso! Continuing with Contemporary Japanese. Seventy-five new kanji will also be learned.

REQUIREMENTS AND POLICIES

1. Preparation for the class

The daily schedule, which follows below, is designed for you to prepare the materials indicated for a given date BEFORE the class meets. You are expected to come to class well-prepared so that you will be ready to participate in communication activities in a meaningful context with your instructor and classmates. Read the assigned pages carefully, listen to the CD, and bring any questions you had while studying for the class since they may benefit your classmates as well! This is an intensive language course for which you will receive five credit hours. Therefore, you are expected to study for the course at least two hours every day.

2. Attendance and participation

Attendance and active participation in class are mandatory and will be recorded at each class session. Foreign language learning is a cumulative process, and it is very important that you come to class and practice Japanese every day. Grading criteria for participation will be on a 10 point scale. To receive full participation credit, you must show evidence of preparation for class. However, this is not to say that you cannot make mistakes; trial and error is the only way to learn how to use the language, and you are encouraged to try out the new structures, make errors, and learn from them. Active participation that shows your effort will count towards the participation grade. On the contrary, no participation will seriously hurt your participation grade. You will receive 0 points when you are absent from a class.

Grading criteria for class participation

10 = / excellent performance; high level of fluency and accuracy
9 = / very good/strong performance with some minor weak areas; memorized most materials; no need to refer to textbook
8 = / good performance with some weakness; memorized some materials; occasional need to refer to textbook.
7 = / fair performance, but weak in major areas; memorized some materials; occasional need to refer to textbook
6 = / poor performance, weak in most areas, refers constantly to textbook
5 = / completely unprepared, or disengaged from class activities
0 = / absent

It is crucial that you attend every class for successful Japanese learning. In the event you must miss the class, please contact the instructor prior to the class meeting and have your absence pre-approved, except for documented emergency. You may be excused from the class only if you provide documented evidence (e.g., a letter from the doctor/infirmary, accident/police report, receipt for car repair).

Please be punctual because you may miss important information and distract your classmates. If you are late to class, you will not be given extra time to complete the exams and quizzes. If you are more than five minutes late three times without your instructor’s consent, they will be counted as one absence. If you are more than 30 minutes late, it will also be considered as one absence. If your unexcused absences exceed 3 or more, you will lose 3% from the final grade. Your course grade will be lowered by 1% for each class that you miss after the 4th absence. In the event your unexcused absences exceed 10 times, you will automatically fail the course.

If you are late or miss class for any reason, it is your responsibility to contact your instructor or ask your classmates to know what you have missed and what you need to do for the following day.

3. Japanese speaking policy in class

You have a very limited exposure to Japanese outside of the class, and it is very important that you make every use of the precious opportunities to speak Japanese in class. Therefore, you are required to speak only Japanese in class.

4. Homework and makeup exam policies

All homework is to be completed and turned into the instructor at the beginning of the class on the due date it appears on the syllabus. Please put your homework on the instructor’s desk before class begins. Be sure your name is on the homework and all the pages are stapled. The instructor will not accept homework that is not stapled. Homework will not be graded per se, however, all homework must show effort and be completed to receive credit. Grading criteria for homework will be a 5 point scale. Do not hesitate to ask questions about the homework assigned during class.

NO late assignments will be accepted without written evidence of illness or emergency. In case you must miss class on the day that an assignment is due, turn it in ahead of time to receive full credit. If you do not turn in assignments on time, you must submit the homework the following day. However, only 1 point will be given to the late homework. If you fail to submit it on the following day, you will receive 0 points. Online Learning Center/Media CD assignments: You must submit a printout of the progress reports with your score.

‘Memorize vocabulary’ assignments: Leaning vocabulary words is very important to develop proficiency in a foreign language. You will be evaluated by your performance during class activities, on vocabulary quizzes, and/or on pop quizzes.

Workbook: Often times, the front page of a worksheet is assigned for one day, and the back of the same worksheet for the following day. In such a case, make a photocopy of the page or write down the answers on a sheet of paper so that you can work on the questions on the worksheet after you turn it in on the first day. This is your responsibility – there will be no advance announcements in class.

Make-up quizzes or exams may be scheduled ONLY when pre-approved by the instructor or in the case of documented illness or emergency. It is your responsibility to contact your instructor immediately after returning to class and schedule make-up quizzes/exams within two class days, or no make-up will be allowed.

5. Learning kanji

Knowledge of kanji is essential for you to become a competent reader of authentic reading materials in Japanese. The learning of kanji is a cumulative process, and it is your responsibility to retain your kanji knowledge over time. To help retention of kanji knowledge, you are expected to use all kanji that has been covered in class in every assignment, quiz, or exam. On exams, you must use kanji you have previously learned to receive full credit. To help reinforce kanji learning, you will be required to complete extra writing practice – writing each kanji 5 times – when you missed kanji/hurigana (kanji reading in hiragana) on quizzes and exams. The missed kanji practice will be due on the FOLLOWING CLASS DAY after you receive the graded quizzes and exams. Turn it in along with your regular homework. You must turn in the extra homework by the deadline specified on the schedule or you will lose 5 points from your homework grade. No late assignments accepted.

6. Language lab

Lab sessions will take place in the Tandburg Lab (Turlington Hall, Room 1317). Please refer to the daily schedule below. In the language lab, you will practice listening and speaking Japanese and work with character tutorials and web-based materials in Japanese.

7. Accommodations for students with disabilities

Students requesting classroom accommodation must first register with the Dean of Students Disability Resources office. The Dean’s office will provide documentation to the student who must then provide this documentation to the Instructor in advance of the beginning of class.

In addition, you must attain a grade of D or higher to request the I grade. This is a strict policy of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
