Welcome to ESL 505!

Participation

  • Speak in English during class.
  • Please no cell phones, ipads, etc.

Late Assignments

  • For major assignments, every day your essay is late, your grade drops 25%. Weekends count. A day is a day.
  • For daily assignments, no late work will be accepted.
  • For drafts, late work must be done before you can turn in the final assignment. However, you will still not get credit for the draft in your participation grade.

Attendance

  • The ESL courses take a very strict policy on attendance. If you miss 6 classes, you automatically fail ESL 505, usually regardless of the reason.
  • Participation is also 10% of your grade. Every day, your participation grade is 3 points. If you miss a day, you earn a 0 for that day.
  • If you are texting or not participating you may also earn a 0 for that day.
  • Moreover, Attendance is another 10% of your grade. Each time you miss a class, your attendance grade drops a letter.
  • If you are ill, you must bring a doctor's note.
  • Business events are NOT a reason to miss class.

Lateness

  • Lateness is considered unprofessional in the business world and will not be tolerated in ESL classes either.
  • Lateness is inconvenient to yourself and your classmates, since most of our class is based on activities.
  • Everyone receives one free late.
  • After that, each time you are late, you will earn a 1.5 instead of 3 for class attendance.
  • Business events are NOT an excuse for being late
