Page 4 ASSIGNMENTS FOR WHEELOCK Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Read Chapter Learn the terms and the forms introduced Workbook Assignment. Review Wheelock Chapter. Second Workbook Assignment for that chapter. Possible Quiz and/or Translation from 38 Latin Stories COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND CLASS POLICIES Steps to Success 1. Attendance: Attendance will be taken in every class period because only during class will the material assigned be discussed and explained. Every class period may include a mini quiz to encourage you to keep current with the assignments. 2. Keep up with the memorization of forms. Come to class prepared to participate in in-class exercises and translations. 3. Once you are in class, be prepared to remain until the class is dismissed. Turn off cell phones, beepers and any other electronic devices. If you must leave class, take your backpacks, etc, with you because it is best for the class that you do not return. Therefore, take care of all necessities before class. Absences for university sponsored events or for observed religious holidays will be excused. Please inform the instructor in advance if you will be absent for either of these reasons and plan to make-up the work missed. MINI-QUIZZES Any time QUIZZES Longer quizzes (15 minutes) will be announced in class. HOUR EXAMS SEPTEMBER 19 OCTOBER 10 NOVEMBER 7 There will be three hour exams during the semester. These are announced on the Syllabus. The format of the Hour Exams will be explained in class. FINAL EXAM DECEMBER 12, 2008 MAKE-UP POLICY The format of the Final Exam will be similar to that of the Hour Exams. If you find that you are not physically able to take the hour exams or quizzes because of illness or an emergency, you need to notify the instructor as soon as possible either by E-Mail or by phone. You should be prepared to provide demonstrable evidence to support your absence, and you should also be prepared to make-up the exam within one week of the date scheduled in the Syllabus.

Contact REACH at http://www.reach.louisville.edu/tutoring/ FINAL GRADE The FINAL GRADE will be based on the following breakdown of percentage points: 20% HOUR EXAM #1 20% HOUR EXAM #2 20% HOUR EXAM #3 20% FINAL EXAM** 20% QUIZZES and DAILY WORK **You must receive a passing grade on the FINAL EXAM in order to pass the course. Facilis descensus Averno; noctes atque dies patet atri ianua Ditis; sed revocare gradum superasque evadere ad auras, hoc opus, hic labor est. Vergil, Aeneid VI, 126-129. GRADING SCALE Your course average will determine your Final Grade in the course according to the following: 100+ A+ 95-100 A 67-70 D+ 91-94 A- 64-66 D 87-90 B+ 61-63 D- 84-86 B Below 60 F 81-83 B- 77-80 C+ 74-76 C 71-73 C- ACADEMIC HONESTY Each student s work is expected to be his/her own. Attempts to cheat will not be tolerated. In Latin 101-03 copying from someone else's paper, using notes (unless expressly allowed by the teacher), altering an exam for re-grading, getting an advance copy of the examination, or hiring a surrogate test-taker will be considered as forms of cheating. See Section 5 of the University of Louisville Student Handbook: Academic dishonesty is prohibited at the University of Louisville. It is a serious offense because it diminishes the quality of scholarship, makes accurate evaluation of student progress impossible, and defrauds those in society who must ultimately depend upon the knowledge and integrity of the institution and its students and faculty. http://campuslife.louisville.edu/policies/studenthandbook/pages/studentrights.html
