If you know you are going to miss it, then make arrangements to take it in advance.
2. Class Participation: For every class meeting, all students shall be prepared to demonstrate at least some knowledge of their learning and actively participate in class activities.
3. Homework:
Homework should be done at home, not during the class. The purpose of the homework is to review the material learned one more time. If you don't understand the homework then ask me before leaving the class. Don't wait until the homework due date.
Homework should be done with all correct answers. Incorrect answers or skipped, incomplete answers will not be accepted so take your time and try your best to complete your assignment.
Completed assignments should be turned in at the very beginning of the class
Homework should be completed on your own. Sharing and copying other students' answers is considered cheating. If I become aware of this then both students will receive zero on their homework assignment.
4. Conduct:
Please respect Korean customs.
Please come to class with a positive attitude. Please avoid using profane language.
Please try to speak Korean as much as you can.
Please keep in mind that Koreans consider it rude to hand something over to a teacher or a senior with just one hand.

You are expected to complete your work with honesty and integrity, as it represents what you can and cannot do.
Cheating is defined as representing someone else’s work as your own or allowing someone to represent your work as their own. Cheating includes, but is in no way limited to, the following:
o Copying homework or allowing someone to copy your homework o Looking on another’s test or quiz or letting another student look on a
test or quiz.
o Reporting to another student what is on a test or quiz, including providing questions or specific answers
When a student is not sure what would be considered cheating for a particular assignment, s/he is responsible for requesting clarification from the teacher.
