Workload
The course runs for 12 weeks in the first semester. Each week, it requires two contact hours and eight hours of independent learning through online materials. Students need to do the following:
(1) Work through a half or whole ETextbook lesson and the explanatory videos.
(2) Attend two short online classes.
(3) After these classes, complete your assigned homework. This will consist of the exercises that follow each of the ETextbook’s lessons. These exercises are due at the end of the week in which the lesson is completed.
(4) Mark your written homework using the answers in the back of the book, scan and then upload it and your voice recording homework onto Wattle.
(5) Learn the vocabulary words for each lesson. These words will be listed at the end of each lesson and are available on Quizlet.
You will be expected to work through one ETextbook lesson every two weeks for the first nine weeks, and switch to one lesson a week in the last three weeks.
There will also be two other assessments conducted during the semester, and you will be marked on your participation.
