Attendance & Participation 8.5% 2. News Report (13) 6.5% 3. Assignments (11-1)x4=40+) 40% 4. Discussion Leading 10% 5. Midterm Exam 15% 6. Final Exam 20% Total 100% Grade Distribution: 98-100: A+ 94-97: A 87-89: B+ 84-86: B 77-79: C+ 74-76: C 67-69: D+ 64-66: D 59 or below: F 90-93: A80-83: B70-73: C60-63: D- 1. Attendance & Participation (10%) Attendance is a critical component of the course. If you are late or absent, it is YOUR responsibility to contact the instructor to make up for the missed work. Additionally, active class participation will help improve your language proficiency. An absence will be counted as an absence regardless of the reason, and will be excused only upon the instructor’s discretion for extenuating circumstances with verifiable written document on a case by case basis. Being tardy or leaving early multiple times will add up to absence. (Usually, 3 tardiness or early leaves will equal one absence.) Being late to class or leaving early by twenty minutes or more will constitute an absence. You may still join the class if you are late; however, please remember that tardiness can be disruptive to the class. If you accumulate three (3) or more unexcused absences, you will automatically get an F for the course. (Please note that this policy does NOT translate into automatically passing the course if you have less than three absences.) 2. News Report (5%) At the beginning of each class, each student will share a current news item about or related to Korea. The title, author, and a Korean source should be submitted in Laulima by 8PM the Monday evening before the class day. Please use one of the major Korean newspapers or television stations. News should be recent, preferably be dated within a week, or at least within a month 3. Assignments (40%) Each unit will have a reading rendition and listening summary assignments. The focus of rendition will vary from assignment to assignment (e.g., accuracy, Romanization, fluency, etc.). Reading and listening assignments can be found in Laulima Resources page, and are to be uploaded in Laulima Drop Box when completed. The students will exchange peer feedback. Peer feedback should be emailed to your peer, and uploaded in Laulima in a folder titled 'Feedback'. Please print the peer feedback you give, bring it to class, and give it to the author. Late submission will result in deduction in points. The lowest set of grade will be excluded from the final grade. 4. Discussion Leading (10%) Students will take turns leading class discussion on rendition and summary. 2 Syllabus KOR 422.2_W Spring 2011 5.

V. STUDENT CONDUCT INCLUDING PLAGIARISM Please be familiar with the expected student conduct at UH. It is ultimately each student’s responsibility to understand the rules including plagiarism and academic dishonesty, and to learn how to avoid such violations. At UH, common consequences for such violations include failing the assignment, failing the course, suspension from the university, or even expulsion. For details, go to http://www.studentaffairs.manoa.hawaii.edu/policies/conduct_code/impermissible_behavior.php It is ok to get help from other (native) Korean speakers for your study as long as you include an acknowledgement. However, I need to see YOUR Korean and YOUR progress. For example, it all right to have someone else proof-read your writing, but the original work must be yours. VI. VISITORS AND RECORDING Throughout the course, there may be visitors who come to observe the instructor and the class. Reasons for the visit may include professional development for teaching, research, etc. The instructor will try to announce the visit in advance whenever possible.

However, if you did not understand something, there is a good chance that other classmates did not either, so do not be shy about asking questions or requesting repetitions. 3. Notice and evaluate your own learning/strategies and take the responsibility of learning. 4. Understand that language learning is a fun and exciting process of acquiring another cultural perspective and system of expression. 5. Understand that second language learning is one of the hardest intellectual challenges, and that challenge can be met only by perseverance. 6. I am always willing to provide extra help.
