Course Requirements 1. Everyday participation in class is necessary for learning, therefore, you must attend class on time. (You would be surprised at how much you would miss if you miss even a part of one class!) If you are absolutely unable to attend class, please submit a written explanation (such as a doctor’s note). 2. You are encouraged to speak Japanese as much as possible in class, and outside of class whenever you have the opportunity to do so (such as with your instructors/classmates, at the Japanese Chat Club, etc). 3. If you are late for the daily quiz, you will receive only half credit for the day’s attendance. 4. No make-up will be permitted for quizzes, or examinations. 5. Homework should be submitted when due. No credit will be given for late submission. However, if you must turn an assignment in late, you should still do so in order to get feedback from your instructor. 6. You are expected to study at least two hours outside of class for every hour the class meets. This includes but is not limited to reviewing previous material, doing homework, studying Grammatical Notes, and listening to audio files. 7. No auditing or “registration credit” is allowed. No PASS/FAIL is allowed. 8. A one-week absence from class without notifying the instructor will be interpreted as an unofficial withdrawal from the course.

Because any academic integrity violation undermines our intellectual community, students found to have cheated, plagiarized, or committed any other act of academic dishonesty can expect to fail the class and may be referred to the Dean’s Discipline process. It is students’ responsibility to ensure their work maintains the standards expected and should you have any questions or concerns regarding your work, you can: a) Talk with your TA b) Ask the instructor c) Refer to the Columbia University Undergraduate Guide to Academic Integrity, which includes information on what constitutes a violation of academic integrity and specific guidance on how to cite sources: http://www.college.columbia.edu/academics/academicintegrity.
