This is a computer assisted
instruction program designed to improve your reading skills. The course covers four major
skill areas: Narrative Text, Information Text, Persuasive Text, and Reading Comprehension.
The course will individualize instruction for each student, selecting the appropriate
skill areas according to your pattern of response,--the manner in which you answer
questions. |

a. Response to
Assignments:
Response to assignments on time and regular contacts (through email or other media) with
instructor constitutes individual participation in the course. Students who fail to
present their assignments on two consecutive scheduled times, without any tangible reason,
will be dropped. Students are responsible for all class assignments and the instructor
must be notified promptly if an assignment cannot be presented on time.
b. Grading Policy:
There will be three tests and a number of class assignments. The class assignments grade
includes class quizzes, participation in class and any assignments and reports deemed
relevant to the course. The date for class quizzes would be announced in class. The
scheduling of these would depend on the materials covered at the time. Distribution of
points will be as follows:
Three tests - 100 points each |
= 300 points |
Class assignments and quizzes |
= 100 points |
Total |
= 400 points |
**Class assignments include quizzes and a
written report on each of the chapters discussed in class. The report represents the
student's understanding of the chapter topic discussed.
