1. Homework (25%):
A. Workbook Homework for Vocabulary/Grammar Review (20%)
§ After each Conversation, students will be expected to do the assigned

from the Conversation of each lesson. For listening exercises, refer to the
sound file available at
http://kleartextbook.com/category/b_beginning/a_audio-files/.
§ Then, using an answer key posted on our course D2L (Go to
http://d2l.kennesaw.edu/ and log in to KSU Desire2Learn. Then, find our
course in My Courses list), students correct their own homework. Please
use a different colored pen for self-correction.
§ Students should then submit the self-corrected homework for grading
according to the Course Schedule. For each submission, make sure to
staple all the pages together and write your name on it.
§ Turn in your homework on the teacher’s desk before the class begins.
§ Your Workbook homework will be evaluated for: (1) completion of initial
work on your own; (2) self-correction; and (3) on-time submission. If any

file for each text available at
http://kleartextbook.com/category/b_beginning/a_audio-files/.
§ When you are ready to record, go to the FLRC language lab and find a
computer booth that will be quiet. Speak loudly and clearly, close to the
microphone but not directly into it with a puff of air. Don’t breathe into the
microphone; speak about 3 inches from the microphone so there will be no
2
air puffs, but you should be close enough to the microphone so your voice
is loud and clear.
§ Record yourself reading the passage using the software program, Audacity.
Before starting to record, make sure the computer terminal you are using is
capable of saving the recorded file in the desired format.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES:
Throughout the week, your teacher will introduce and reinforce/clarify grammar
and vocabulary use, and help you internalize what you have learned. To keep up
with the materials covered in class and get a decent grade (3.0 or above), follow the
guidelines provided below:
1. Daily attendance is essential. You are expected to be at every class session
unless you are so ill that you are unable to come to campus at all. If you must
miss a class period for any reason, please contact the instructor via e-mail to let
her know that you will not be in class. Unless provided with an official proof for
a justifiable reason of absence, your absence will be strictly tracked and result in
no credit for attendance. In case of absence, be sure to get your assignment(s)
turned in through your classmate or directly to the instructor’s office in order to
receive a full credit. For this, get at least three classmates’ contact information.
The best solution is not to miss class.
2. Come to class on time and actively participate. Much learning will take place
in class, and it is crucial to your learning that you come to class on time every
day. Not only will tardiness greatly reduce your class participation grade, it is
also disruptive to the class and disrespectful to your professor and peers.
3. Late work will be accepted but only a half of the full point will be given. No
feedback, corrections or revision will be given. Incomplete work (no selfcorrection included) will be considered late. Missing a class is no excuse for not
preparing an assignment.
4. No make-ups will be given for missed tests, quizzes, exams unless you submit a
doctor’s note or other University accepted excuses. Only under extreme
circumstances make-up tests are given.
5. This 3-credit course has a minimum expectation of 9 hours per week
working outside of class. Students in this class are expected to have thoroughly
studied the vocabulary and grammar of each lesson before class. Set aside at
least 2 hours every day to work on Korean, one hour for review of the day’s
material and homework and another hour for studying the next day’s material.
6. Make it a daily habit that you practice listening. Listening to the audio files
on the web, reading aloud the dialogues/narrations, and having tutor and
conversation partners all will help improve your listening skills. Also, use
various web resources as much as you can.
7. Use vocabulary in context, making vocabulary relevant to your daily life. It will
be easier to memorize: How do you know when you are done studying
vocabulary? See whether you can do Korean to English, and then English to
7
Korean. Don’t just follow the given order. Do a random check. Put it aside for a
few hours. Try it again. If you can’t recall words, concentrate on those words.
Use each vocabulary item in a sentence. If you can’t recall a word, you are not
quite done with the task!
8. Take advantage of this class, your teacher, tutor and a conversation
partner. Speaking and listening skill improvement time will be limited in class.
If you have questions or need additional help, it is your responsibility to visit
your teacher during her office hours and a tutor at FLRC, and a conversation
partner is highly recommended for this course. It will make your learning easier,
fun and successful!
9. Email is the official means to communicate. All students enrolled in this
course are responsible for checking the your email regularly.
10. DISABILITY POLICY: Kennesaw State University provides program
accessibility and reasonable accommodations for persons identified as disabled
under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990. A number of services are available to help the disabled.
Students must visit the office of Disabled Student Support Services (770-4236443) and arrange an individual assistance plan. In some cases, certification of
disability is required.
11. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: Every KSU student is responsible for upholding
the provisions of the Student Code of Conduct as published in the Undergraduate
and Graduate Catalogs. Section II of the Student Code of Conduct addresses the
University’s policy in academic honesty, including provisions regarding
plagiarism and cheating, unauthorized access to University materials,
misrepresentation/falsification of University records or academic work,
malicious removal, retention, or destruction of library materials,
malicious/intentional misuse of computer facilities and/or services, and misuse
of student identification cards. Incidents of alleged academic misconduct will be
handled through the established procedures of the University Judiciary Program,
which includes either an “informal” resolution by a faculty member, resulting in
a grade adjustment, or a formal hearing procedure, which may subject a student
to the Code of Conduct’s minimum one-semester suspension requirement.
12. CLASSROOM RULES: To enhance our learning experience in our class, let
us observe the following class rules! If you don’t observe the classroom rules, it
will make a bad impact on your participation grade.
§ No food during class unless you bring enough food to share with entire
class! (Non-alcohol drink is OK.)
§ No electronic devices except for dictionary usage! (Turn off your cell phone
and put it away during class)
§ No unnecessary talking, irrelevant to class instruction, especially in English.
8
§ No homework done in class! (Homework is work for home.)
§ No newspaper/magazine/book reading, irrelevant to instruction!
