<H3>Course Description and Objectives</H3>

As the first half of First Year Korean, this course is designed for students who have had no or very little knowledge of Korean. The objective of the course is to help students begin gaining mastery of all the basic skills of Korean ‒ listening, speaking, reading, and writing ‒  as well as the cultural context in which they are used. Our focus is on communicative competence and accuracy. At the completion of Elementary Korean, students will be able to carry on real conversations in complex social situations such as interactions with friends, asking and giving directions, making purchases at stores, ordering food at a restaurant, etc. Monday and Wednesday classes are lectures, while Tuesday and Thursday classes are drills. Lectures are conveyed in English and Korean, but drill sections are taught entirely in Korean from day one. Students are not allowed to use English in drill sections.

<H3>CUNY Policy on Academic Integrity</H3>

The CUNY Policy on Academic Integrity, as adopted by the CUNY Board of Trustees, is available to all students. Academic dishonesty is prohibited in the City University of New York and is punishable by penalties, including failing grades, suspension, and expulsion. [<a href="http://www.cuny.edu/about/administration/offices/la/Academic_Integrity_Policy.pdf">pdf</a>]. 

<H3>Use of Student Work</H3>

All programs in New York State undergo periodic reviews by accreditation agencies. For these purposes, samples of student work are occasionally made available to those professionals conducting the review. Anonymity is assured under these circumstances. If you do not wish to have your work made available for these purposes, please let the professor know before the start of the second class. Thanks for your cooperation. 

<H3>Accommodations for Students with Disabilities</H3>

Students with disabilities needing academic accommodation should register with and provide documentation to the Office of Special Services, Frese Hall, room 111. The Office of Special Services will provide a letter for you to bring to your instructor indicating the need for accommodation and the nature of it. This should be done during the first week of class. For more information about services available to Queens College students, contact the Office of Special Services (718-¬997-¬5870, <a href="www.queens.cuny.edu/spsv/">www.queens.cuny.edu/spsv/</a>). 

<H3>Course Evaluations</H3>

During the final four weeks of the semester, you will be asked to complete an evaluation for this course by filling out an online questionnaire. Please remember to participate in these course evaluations. Your comments are highly valued, and these evaluations are an important service to fellow students and to the institution, since your responses will be pooled with those of other students and made available online, in the Queens College Course Information System (<a href="http://courses.qc.cuny.edu">http://courses.qc.cuny.edu</a>). Please also note that all responses are completely anonymous; identifying information is erased once the evaluation has been submitted.
