COURSE EVALUATION:
Grading Scale
U.T. Dallas adopted the following grade scale for all undergraduate students effective fall 2000.
Grades for courses completed prior to Fall 2000 accrue point values as shown in the appropriate
catalog.
A student may withdraw from a course before the final drop date listed in the Academic
Calendar in which case W will be entered on the student’s transcript. (see “Withdraw
from and adding Courses.” Page 32.)
PERCENTAGES
35% Participation*: attendance, active engagement, preparedness, and written assignments.
65% Major tests (four). No make up tests will be given.
HOMEWORK
• Students will be expected to complete exercises outside of class following every session.
• LATE WORK OR INCOMPLETE WORK = ZERO
• Correct spelling and accents will be enforced in homework and tests.
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS:
Given the nature of language acquisition, which is a slow process, I recommend that you
work on both sections of your workbook or written activities on a daily basis. This reinforces
the concepts taught in class. Furthermore, learning a language is an active process, thus your
presence and participation in class are essential.
