There are three written exams in this course, one per chapter. There will be no final exam.
The three exams count as 20% of your final grade. They will be 50 minutes long and will have four sections: listening, vocabulary and grammar use, reading, and writing. The activities in each section will reflect the activities done in and out of class. Exams are completed in class, on the dates posted on the course calendar.
Make-ups will be given only in case of justified absences and, whenever possible, must be arranged with the teacher before the date of the exam. Extensions must be approved in writing (via email). All make-up exams must be completed within two weeks of the original date. No further extensions will be granted.
If you are missing an exam because you are sick, let your teacher know, via email, as soon as possible. You should NOT provide medical documentation as proof of short-term illness to justify your absence.
If you are a student athlete, in the national guard, or are missing an exam because of a UW mandatory academic activity, you need to provide your instructor with proper documentation.
Your work schedule is not a justified reason to miss an exam.
Personal trips or vacations are not a justified reason to miss an exam.
