60.0 – 65.9% D 0 -‐ 59.9% F
Note: A grade of C-‐ or better is required to progress to Japanese IB. 1. Attendance (5%) This is a skills-‐based course: your language skills will not improve without consistent daily effort and active participation in classroom activities. Therefore you are expected to attend every class. If you know you that will be late for class or must leave early, please let the instructor know in advance. Attendance is evaluated on a daily point system: 5 points Participates actively in class 4 points Present for the whole class period 3 points Arrives less than 10 minutes late or leaves less than 10 minutes early 2 points Arrives more than 10 minutes late or leaves more than 10 minutes before the
end of the class (present for more than 50% of the class period) 0 points Present for less than 50% of the class period; no participation (doing other work,
sleeping) or absent.
Absences result in 0 points for the day. Exceptions will be made only for documented excused absences that are reported, if possible, in advance of the absence. Examples of excused absences include: serious illness, court order, religious holiday, family emergency, and job interviews. Absences in these cases will not affect the grade. Students without one late arrival or early departure class will be given a “kaikin sho” (Perfect Attendance Award), and an extra 2% will be added to the final grade. NOTE: Missing more than two weeks of classes (8 sessions over the course of the semester) will results in an automatic failure of the course.

2. Model Conversation Performances (10%)
Throughout the semester students will be asked to memorize short conversations and perform them in class. Each lesson contains three dialogues (3 dialogues x 6 lessons = 18 dialogue performances total for the semester). Performances are graded as follows:
5 points Shows evidence of practice, good use of target grammar, excellent fluency, pronunciation, intonation and social appropriateness
4 points Shows evidence of practice, generally solid performance but weak in minor areas
3-‐2 points Shows some evidence of practice but lacks fluency, inappropriate use of the target grammar
1 point Present but unprepared 0 point Absent or no performance
Note: The lowest Model Conversation score will be dropped at the end of semester.
3. Quizzes & Exercises (25%)
Each lesson will contain either paper or online quizzes on vocabulary, kanji, and grammar. In-‐class quizzes will be given at the beginning of the class. No extra time will be given for students arriving late. It is the student’s responsibility to complete the online quizzes/exercises during the assigned period. All quizzes are worth 10 points each. The three lowest quiz scores will be dropped at the end of the semester. NOTE: If you miss a quiz due to late arrival or an unexcused absence you will receive a 0 and will not be permitted to make up the quiz. Make-‐up quizzes will be given only when you email the instructor in advance and submit written documentation that explains your absence. Make-‐up quizzes must be taken on the day you return from the excused absence.
4. Homework Assignments (20%)
There are approximately 60-‐70 homework assignments for this course, most of which will be from the Genki Workbook. However, there may be other homework assignments (Internet searches, online discussions, etc.). Be sure to check the daily schedule. We recommend that you create an effective method to organize your homework (binder, folders, making copies, etc.) and develop good study skills and habits. Remember that acquiring a language is not something that can be achieved through overnight cramming. It can only be accomplished through the accumulation of daily effort. Review what you learn everyday! Homework will be collected at the beginning of class. Homework turned in after that and up to one class session late will receive half credit as a maximum score. For example, homework due on Monday can be turned in as late as the beginning of class on Tuesday for half credit. Homework due on Thursday can be turned in as late as the beginning of class on Monday for half credit. Homework turned in after that will not receive credit. DO NOT DO HOMEWORK DURING CLASS! Homework completed during class will not be accepted and will receive a 0. Students have the option to REDO homework for a better score. Corrected homework must be
JAPN 1A Fall 2016

turned in at the beginning of the next class period. Submit both the original and the revised version, stapled together. Homework assignments are worth 10pts. 10pts=90-‐100%; 9pts=80-‐89%; 8pts=70-‐79%; 7pts =60-‐69%. 59% and lower=2pts. Please work with the instructor if you need help completing the assignments. If you are found to be copying someone else’s homework, you will receive a 0. Acts of dishonestly and cheating will be reported to the appropriate authority. Please refer to the Academic Honesty section below.
5. Exams (35% total)
There will be three examinations: Test 1 (Lessons 1 & 2, 10%), Test 2 (Lessons 3 & 4, 10%), and Test 3 (Final Exam, Lessons 5 & 6, 15%). Each exam will consist of the following sections: listening, grammar, writing (blog), reading, oral performance, and conducting online cultural research. Tests will take place over multiple days. No Make-‐up exams will be given. Exceptions made for verifiable excused absences only.
6. Skit Presentation (5%)
