成績評量方式補充說明   
***Attendance is mandatory. You are responsible for attending every class meeting. Each hour of absence will result in a 1-point penalty. If you are late for 10 minutes, you will be considered absent. The three situations: 6 leaves / 1 unexcused absence and 3 leaves / 2 unexcused absences will be equal to losing the chance of the final exam. If you are absent for the group presentation, you will be given a grade of zero.

2. Homework should be done at home and then you may pose questions to be answered in class.
3. Group discussion with personal presentation will be done in class.
4. No cheating is allowed in this course.
5. Each person needs to come to class and answer questions and do worksheets in class to get ordinary performance grades. When students do the presentation, all the rest need to do evaluation and answer questions in order to get grades of the three kinds of report.
6. From the second week on, you will need to sit on a fixed place.
7. No late work. Handouts fee: $30.
8. Everyone needs to use the textbook of the 2nd edition and no copied one can be used in class. If you use a copied one, you will not pass the class automatically.
