result in a lowering of the final grade by:
More than eight – 5%
More than twelve – 10%
An excess of 16 unexcused absences or more will result in a failing
grade.
In case of prolonged illness or other issues that affect the student’s
attendance in class, it is the student’s responsibility to consult with
the instructor.
2. Class Participation is essential to success in language learning.
Participation in class discussions will help in learning the concepts
and improving conversational skills.
3. Homework is due on the day after it is assigned unless otherwise
instructed. Late work will be accepted only with instructor’s approval.
All work must be double-spaced and written in pencil.

9. Academic Integrity: All students are expected to follow the
University of Arizona’s guidelines concerning academic integrity and
conduct as depicted in the general catalog.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Students in this class comply with the University “Code of Academic
Integrity.” They will not plagiarize or represent the work of others as
their own, nor modify academic work for the purpose of obtaining
additional credit. Plagiarism is defined as using the ideas and words of
others without indicating whose ideas and whose words they are. Do not
plagiarize, even inadvertently. If you quote as few as three words
(sometimes only one word, if it is a major idea developed by the
writer), use quotation marks and give the reference. If you use ideas
only and not the actual words, give the reference but do not use
quotation marks. The penalty for cheating or plagiarism in this course
is zero credit for any assignment in which it occurs, and you will be
reported to the Dean of students.
10. Threatening behavior:
• Students must abide by the UA policy concerning threatening, which can
be read at: http://studpubs.web.arizona.edu/policies/cacaint.htm
• THREATENING BEHAVIOR IS PROHIBITED. “Threatening behavior” means any
statement, communication, conduct or gesture, including those in written
form, directed toward any member of the University community that causes
a reasonable apprehension of physical harm to a person or property. A
student can be guilty of threatening behavior even if the person who is
the object of the threat does not observe or receive it, so long as a
reasonable person would interpret the maker’s statement, communication,
conduct, or gesture as a serious expression of intent to physically
harm.
11. Students who are registered with the Disability Resource Center must
submit appropriate documentation to the instructor if they are
requesting reasonable accommodations.
12. Information contained in the course syllabus concerning the study
materials is subject to change. Students will be given advance notice as
deemed appropriate by the instructor.
