Attendance and Class Participation – 10% Marks for class participation are based on effort, attitude and classroom engagement. These are discretionary marks designed to help the instructor to grade students in a fair and just way. While assigning these marks, the instructor will look at the following criteria: • Did the student actually visibly improve at all? • Did the student give importance and priority to this course? • How did he/she participate in class? • Did he/she pay attention to course material presented in class? • Did the student arrive to class on time

Term 1 Exam (December) – 20% The Term 1 Exam will cover material from September to December. Class Presentation – 10% During the second term of the course, towards the end of the year, each student will give an oral presentation to the class. The student is to talk on a subject of their choice for 5 minutes. Students will be graded on their verbal fluency of Punjabi. Term 2 Final Exam (April) – 20% The Term 2 Final Exam will cover material from September to April Quizzes and exams must be written on the announced time and date. You must have a valid medical reason and doctor’s note in order to be allowed to re-write a quiz or exam. You will not be granted permission to re-write because of academic workload or conflicts. Guidelines for Course This course will be delivered online. 1. Attendance: • Attendance will be taken in the beginning of class. If you arrive late, it is your responsibility to inform the instructor at the end of class of your attendance, as failure to do so will likely result in lost marks. (Attendance will be calculated for the synchronous online lecture). • If a student misses a class, it is their responsibility to find out from classmates what course content was discussed and what work has been assigned. • Good attendance is imperative to doing well in the course. Please see the UBC Calendar for related information: http://www.calendar.ubc.ca/vancouver/index.cfm?tree=3,36,0,0 • Computers and other electronic devices are not to be used in class. Cell phones must be switched off or to silent mode before class. Failure to do so in classroom is considered disrespectful and will lead to deduction of participation marks. 2. Assignments • Assignments are due on the date stated in class and/or in Canvas; late assignments will be subject to penalties. • If a student anticipates that he/she will not be able to attend a class and submit the assignment on its scheduled due date, he/she must notify the instructor beforehand so other arrangements can be considered. 3. Exams and Quizzes • No make-up quizzes or exams will be given. • If a quiz is missed, a doctor’s note is required; in which case the weight of the quiz will go towards the remainder of the quizzes.
