Class attendance and participation

6
All students are expected to attend and to participate in class each week. Preparation and participation can
mean a number of things. Attendance and participation are linked. Obviously, you cannot score marks for
participation in a class you did not attend. There will be 16 class meetings in this topic including mid test and
final test. To pass this assessment you must attend at least 12 class meetings. You may miss 4 class meetings
without penalty. This is intended to allow for absence due to illness or compassionate circumstances. There is
no requirement to provide evidence of these circumstances unless more than 4 classes missed.

Task
The assignments are in the form of written work done for the class, including all homework is assigned. The
students’ behavior is also assessed according to indicators of affective aspect determined.

Class Test
There will be mid test and final test for this class. In these sessions, students are asked to answer a set of
questions related to the materials of grammar that they have learned in previous meetings. Students will be
assessed based on their ability to analyze and answer the questions. The students will be evaluated on the
basis of midterm and final examination, assignments, and participation.

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism

Academic integrity means that all work of students is her/his own original work. All the sources must be fully
acknowledgment. Plagiarism is “the use of another person’s words, ideas as if they were one’s own. It may
occur as a lack of understanding and/in or inexperience about correct way to acknowledge and reference
sources. It may result from poor academic practice, which may include poor note taking, careless
downloading material or failure to take sufficient care in meeting the required standard. It may also occur as
a deliberate misuse of the work others with the intent to deceive” (Thinking Through the Body Topic guide,
WMST2009,FlindersUniversity)

H. Quality standards for grading:

The marks for each assignment are aggregated and the final results are standardized as a grade:

85 – 100 =A Exceptional work (student exceeds expectations )

70 – 84 =B Very good work; above average
65 – 69 =C Average work; at grade level (student meets expectations )
55 – 64 =D Below average
< 45 =E Work fails to meet minimum standards

Important Notes

1. Everybody is expected to follow the rules of academic conduct.

2. Students are expected to come to class on time, or at least 15 mins after class begin.
3. Turn off/silent your cell phones, ipods, etc before class begin.
4. When you are absent, you have to arrange to do any work or homework that was assigned.
5. It is a good idea to have the phone numbers of few classmates, so you can call one person to find out
about any assignment or missed class work.
6. It is highly recommended to search any other materials related with the topic through internet, books,
journal, magazine, etc.
7. Do NOT use Google translation on your written tasks as it is also intended to practice your writing skill
