Detailed explanation is included in the expanded syllabus developed
by each instructor for each section being taught.
Tests: Four equal 100-point tests; the fourth will be a comprehensive
final. These tests may include questions of the following types:
matching, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blanks, definition, or essay
type questions.
Listening Requirement: Listening is an essential part of this course.
Therefore, each student is expected to devote adequate time listening

listening section that counts thirty percent (30%) of your final
grade for that test.
