Course Principles:
1. No cell phones in class.
2. Do your work. The classroom is a community and everyone will get out of it what they put into it.
3. No food (only drinks).
4. Speak only English.
5. Arrive on time.
6. Have fun!

 

Attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class period. Many of the class activities will take more than one class period so attendance is important if we are to maintain a sense of continuity. Missing 5 or more classes means you cannot pass the course.
