COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course covers some basic theories on grammar that includes phrases, clauses, sentence fragments, as well as simple and complex sentence
structures. In this course the students are exposed to English texts and exercises that enable them to be familiar with grammatically acceptable uses
of English.
COURSE OBJECTIVES

At the end of the semester, students are able to:

Identify the English sentence structures

Use the structures in acceptable expressions both orally and in writing

COURSE POLICIES

This class will use the lecture and other interactive methods of teaching grammar. Students must participate in the discussion and all the class activities to
be knowledgeable with the proper use of grammar.

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is expected of all students. The attempt by any student to present as his/her own work which he/she has not produced is regarded by
the faculty and administration of NDMU as a serious offense. Students are considered to have cheated if they turn in an assignment written in whole or in part by
someone else. Students are guilty of plagiarism, intentional or not, if they copy from books, magazines, Internet, or other sources without identifying and
acknowledging those sources or if they paraphrase ideas from such sources without acknowledging them. Students enrolled in this course who cheat on exams or
quizzes or commit plagiarism, or copy another students work in any way, violate the Academic Integrity policy of the University and will receive an F (0 points) on
the test or assignment in question. In addition, they will be reported to the College Dean for appropriate sanction.

Attendance

Each session is very important to ones learning so students should avoid being absent. Unexcused and/or chronic lateness and early exits will be counted
as an "absence." Missing a class (including excused absences) does not excuse a student to submit/perform tasks assigned on succeeding sessions.

Class Management

All students are expected to come to class on time. Use of smartphones is prohibited.
