Course Objectives:

Class Participation and Attendance is essential to success in this class.  Latin 101 is an interactive course, and your success depends upon your effort. You must be in class every day, on time, prepared, and ready to work.

Daily Quizzes and homeworks are worth 100 points of your final grade. Since the two lowest quiz grade will be dropped, no quiz may be taken early, late, or made up for any reason. Homework must be completed before each class meeting and "turn-in" homework is due at the beginning of class.

Exams taken at any time other than the regularly scheduled examination time are subject to changes in test format and reduction in grade (one letter grade per day, including the day of the exam and weekend days). This includes any student entering the room after the first student has turned in his/her exam on the regularly scheduled time and date.The lowest exam grade (this does not include the final exam) will be dropped.
