成績評量方式補充說明   
1. Attendance is required. After the fourth absence, you will not have any grades for all the work in class. You will get whatever grade you have at that point for the course.
2. Attendance will be taken ten minutes after the bell rings. If you come later, you are absent. Do not come to give any excuse. Each hour (Two hours) of absence will result in a 0.5 (1)-point penalty of the participation grades. If you are ten minutes absent during class without an acceptable reason, you are counted as being absent.
3. This policy will be implemented from the first day of class. If you register after day one, you will be considered absence for any class you miss before you register. If you don’t show up on day one, you are absent for that day.
4. 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.
5. If you do not contribute to the group work or are absent for the exam or the group presentation, you will be given a grade of zero.
Requirements:

6. Homework should be done at home, revised and then you may pose questions to be answered in class. Hand in the revised work in the following week, if required. Please follow the format for the printout assignment. Each part of not following the rule will lose 10% of the grade. You need to upload the assignment to the e-course by the required time. No late work.
7. Each person needs to present, answer or ask Q voluntarily for a few times in order to get the points for the performance on participation, discussion and reports.
8. From the second week on, you will need to sit on a fixed place for the whole semester.
9. The make-up work for the worksheets or homework will get 70% of the grades offered. Handouts fee: $20.
10. Everyone needs a textbook for the course. If you forget to bring one, you will lose 0.5 total grade of the course each time.
***11. Owing to the unpredictable situation of pandemic, you need to prepare for camera lens鏡頭 and microphone for your desk computer or use a laptop or a cell phone with them in advance before the school opening day 9/13. Starting from the first day, we may need to use the on-line style of course learning, depending on the government’s regulations. If you don’t have either of them during the class, each time you will lose 10 points of the total grades of the course.If we have on-line course, you will need to go to 教師公告 in the e-course to download website address of Google Meet and everyone needs to join in the line group on the first day. Use your real name in Chinese for your identity.
