2. Keep up with the memorization of forms. Come to class prepared to participate in in-class exercises and translations.
3. Once you are in class, be prepared to remain until the class is dismissed. Turn off cell phones, beepers and any other electronic devices.
If you must leave class, take your backpacks, etc, with you because it is bestfor the class that you do not return. Therefore, take care of all necessitiesbefore class.
Absences for university sponsored events or for observed religious holidayswill be excused. Please inform the instructor in advance if you will be absentfor either of these reasons and plan to make-up the work missed.

100+ A+95-100 A 67-70 D+91-94 A- 64-66 D87-90 B+ 61-63 D-84-86 B Below 60 F81-83 B-77-80 C+74-76 C71-73 C-
ACADEMIC HONESTY Each student’s work is expected to be his/her own. Attempts to cheat will notbe tolerated. In Latin 101-03 copying from someone else's paper, usingnotes (unless expressly allowed by the teacher), altering an exam forre-grading, getting an advance copy of the examination, or hiring a surrogatetest-taker will be considered as forms of cheating. See Section 5 of theUniversity of Louisville Student Handbook: Academic dishonesty is prohibited at the University of Louisville. It is aserious offense because it diminishes the quality of scholarship, makesaccurate evaluation of student progress impossible, and defrauds those insociety who must ultimately depend upon the knowledge and integrity of theinstitution and its students and faculty.http://campuslife.louisville.edu/policies/studenthandbook/pages/studentrights.html
Telephone In case of an emergency, you may leave a message in the Humanities office at 582-6805 or
