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.

Grading System
Your final grade will be determined based on the following:

Final Exam 22% 93 and above A

Midterm Exam 15% 90 – 92 A-
Other Exams (4 Exams) 24% 87 – 89 B+
Oral Exam 2% 83 – 86 B
Attendance/Performance 10% 80 – 82 B-
Quizzes 15% 77 – 79 C+
Assignments 10% 73 – 76 C
Project* 2% 70 - 72 C-
100% 60 – 69 D
59 and below F

A final grade of C+ or above is required to go on to Second Year Japanese II (C1202) in the spring
semester. Otherwise, you must pass the placement test given at the beginning of the spring semester.

*The project comes in two parts. In Part 1, you will read aloud a passage and record your voice. In Part 2,
you will write a composition, read it aloud, and record your voice. The primary purpose of this project is
to improve your pronunciation and Japanese pitch accent. Details will be explained later in class.

Chat Club

The Japanese Chat Club is a monthly informal language table held on Friday in 403 Kent. You are encouraged
to attend it to speak with native speakers and other students of Japanese for free conversation. The Chat Club
will be held on 9/30 (1:30-3:00 p.m.), 10/7 (2:30-4:00 p.m.), 11/4 (1:30-3:00 p.m.), and 12/2 (2:30-4:00 p.m.).

EALAC Statement on Academic Integrity for Course Syllabi

(Japanese Program will follow the EALAC Academic Integrity Statement.)

Students are expected to do their own work on all tests and assignments for this class and act in accordance
with the Faculty Statement on Academic Integrity
(http://www.college.columbia.edu/faculty/resourcesforinstructors/academicintegrity/statement) and Honor
Code (http://www.college.columbia.edu/ccschonorcode) established by the students of Columbia College and
the School of General Studies. 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:
