Hamjambo? Karibuni kwa Kiswahili 1 Kiswahili 1 provides students with a foundation in listening, speaking, reading, and writing the basic grammatical structures and vocabulary of Kiswahili. The class meets 4 hours a week for 15 weeks. 70% of the class time will be devoted to conversation and oral practice. Section E of each chapter, ZOEZI LA NYUMBANI, is due on Friday every week no later than 4:00 p.m. You can send it by e-mail or just drop a copy in my mailbox in 311 Burrowes. In any case all assignments must be typed, double-spaced. Students are required to review all sections prior to each respective class meeting. Tapes to accompany the textbook are available in Room 6 Sparks t- UP. You are required to listen to each lesson before class, and repeat the tape afterwards, or review it periodically as necessary, in order to improve your proficiency. There is no charge for copying them. However, you must take 5 90-minute tapes to room 6 Sparks. There is a one week waiting period. Send in your tapes early, preferably the first week of classes, to avoid any disappointments.
Punctuality is encouraged. If you are late for any reason, avoid any behavior that either disrupts or distracts the class. Attendance is also required. If you miss class for any reason, it is your responsibility to find out from the other class members what went on that day and to acquaint yourself with any changes in the schedule. Unexcused absences will result in the loss of one point from your final grade for each unexcused absence up to a maximum of 10 points.
Exams, quizzes and any other assignments must be handed in on time. Late assignments will not be accepted. Make up exams and quizzes will be given only in cases where a student has excused absence. In any case these must be taken before the next exam or quiz, except with prior permission from the instructor. It is your responsibility to make arrangements to take any make up exams/quizzes. Oral exams will be individually scheduled as per the syllabus.
1. Academic dishonesty will be dealt with according to university policies.
2. The Pennsylvania State University encourages qualified persons with disabilities to participate in its programs and activities. If you anticipate needing any type of accommodation in this course or have questions about physical access, please tell the instructor as soon as possible.
3. Registration Policy: During the drop/add period at the beginning of the semester, the Department of Comparative Literature encourages students to visit this and other courses in order to make informed judgements about which courses to take. After the first week, however, only students registered in the course may remain; no students may late-add (or restore a dropped registration) after the third week of the semester without petitioning the department on a form available in the office, 311 Burrowes.
