Quizzes will be given weekly on material covered. students will be graded on daily participation in class, oral, written assignments weekly quizzes and tests. All activities oral, and written exercises and testing are cumulative and equally important to the student's overall mastery of the Spanish language.

Therefore, any late assignments will be penalized as follows; one day late will subtract 10 points from grade; two days late will result in 0 points. Excused absences will be given 1 day make-up for each day missed. I recommend if you are absent that you make effort to get your missed assignments before you return so you don't fall behind.
