Russian 231 will be a continuation of Russian 112 using book 2 of the Nachalo/Начало series. This course will continue with that painstaking, but ultimately rewarding challenge which looms there on the horizon known to us all as a mastery of the Russian language. To this end, we will work on strengthening our conversational, listening, reading and writing skills.

Students will be required to attend one of the Tuesday sessions. THIS CLASS IS NOT OPTIONAL!!! Attendance will be noted by me. Likewise, language lab attendance is also required. The new language lab provides us with computerized printouts of exactly when you visit the lab, how much time you spend and which tapes you work on while at the lab. Attendance at the lab is included in the class participation grade. The point breakdown for the final grade in this course will be as follows:

• Class participation - 20% - includes attendance
• Homework - 15%
• Oral Quizzes and compositions - 20%
• Written Tests - 30%
• Final Exam or project - 15%
  ________________________________
  Total - 100%
  

Please note that a significant percentage of your grade will be based on the quizzes, tests and the classroom participation. This is indeed meant to be a threat to encourage you to participate in class!
