1. Lioba Moshi. Mazoezi ya Kiswahili. Lanham: UP of America. (Strongly encouraged).
Hamjambo? Karibuni kwa Kiswahili 296 Kiswahili 296 is a continuation of Kiswahili 1. The class meets approximately 4 hours a week for 15 weeks. The emphasis of this course is on the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing with intermediate level grammatical structures. 50% of the class time will be devoted to conversation and oral practice. The rest of the time will be devoted to reading and learning some intermediate-level grammar. Students are required to review all the readings prior to each class meeting.
Attendance is required. If you miss class for any reason, it is your responsibility to find out from other class members what went on that day and to acquaint yourself with any changes in the schedule. Unexcused absences beyond five will result in the loss of one point from your final grade for each unexcused absence, up to a maximum of 10 points.
Assignments will include taped group conversations which must be turned in every Monday during class time. All assignments must be forwarded in time either by e-mail or dropped off in my mail box in 311 Burrowes. Late assignments will not be accepted. Make-up exams and quizzes will only be given in cases where the student has an official excuse or has obtained the instructor’s permission in advance. In any case, these must be completed before the next scheduled exam or quiz, except with prior permission from the instructor. It is up to the student to make arrangements to take any missed exams or quizzes. Oral exams will be individually scheduled as per the syllabus. There will be no make-ups for missed oral exams. In a situation where two or more students are scheduled to appear for an oral exam during the same session and one fails to show up, the one who does not turn up will automatically get a failing grade.
1. Academic dishonesty will be dealt with according to university policies.
2. The Pennsylvania State University encourages qualified persons with disabilities to participate in its programs and activities. If you anticipate needing any type of accommodation in this course or have questions about physical access, please tell the instructor as soon as possible.
3. Registration Policy: During the drop/add period at the beginning of the semester, the Department of Comparative Literature encourages students to visit this and other courses in order to make informed judgements about which courses to take. After the first week, however, only students registered in the course may remain; no students may late-add (or restore a dropped registration) after the third week of the semester without petitioning the department on a form available in the office, 311 Burrowes.
