Course Policies
1. Attendance and Participation (10%):
• Attendance
o You are expected to attend every class, arrive on time, and stay to the end of each class. You
may not leave the classroom during class without the instructor’s permission.
o A maximum of two absences are allowed to accommodate to emergencies and illness.
Please notify the instructor of your absence in advance. Canvas’s Roll Call Attendance Tool
will show your current attendance rate, and excused absences will not be counted in the

you were absent.
o In order to receive a passing grade, you must not have more than 4 absences. For further
information regarding attendance, consult the official College webpage on Policies
Governing Class Attendance (http://www.college.upenn.edu/policies/attendance.php).
o If you have to miss more than two classes due to serious sickness, religious holidays, job
interviews, family emergencies, or official university sports team activities, consult with
your instructor. You may need to submit an official document to prove your circumstances.
o If you miss more than five classes, you need to immediately seek assistance from your
academic advisor and discuss the academic consequences of those absences.
• Participation
o In language courses, daily preparation and active participation are crucial to your success
in class. Thus, your participation grade is based on your preparation for and active
engagement in class activities and discussions as well as use of Korean.
o Laptops and cellular phones must be turned off during class. The use of these devices will
negatively affect your participation grade.
