Class Requirements
Be in class every time, on time, with all assignments prepared. We will have frequent quizzes on translation (including pop quizzes) and, if I deem it necessary, on vocabulary and morphology as well. Any such quizzes will be part of your class participation and preparedness grade. Grades will be calculated as follows: class participation and preparedness (35%), three tests (25%), class presentation (15%), and final paper (25%). There will be no final exam.
Assignments will also be posted regularly on our assignments page.
Office Hours and Contact Info
Office hours will be Tuesday from 12-2 p.m. in 240 Cowell, and by appointment. The best way to reach me outside of office hours is by email, at jklynn@ucsc.edu.

If you qualify for classroom accommodations because of a disability, please get an
Accommodation Authorization from the Disability Resource Center (DRC) and submit it
