Monday calss and final presentations

اهلا يا شباب

Arabic 401:

Please come to class on Monday, having prepared to share your written composition (in fuSHa)with class. You're not required to memorize it, however, please familiarize yourselves with it, so that you're comfortable reading it in class.

Also, I wanted us to talk about the final presentation. This Monday's take-home quiz is meant to be a good practice for that. Your final presentation will be a better, more substantial form of this quiz. Let's talk some more about that in class tomorrow.

Arabic 503:

There will not be a class on Monday,November 22, due to the need to be at the inspection of my new home. I do hope for your forgiveness.

Please come to class on Tuesday, having memorized your new مفردات. We will also talk about your final presentation. It will be a composed piece, much like your Midterm paper, which will use a healthy and rich variety of concepts and vocabulary. This will show me the extent to which, you've both learned and reviewed, your material from this semester. You will of course be expected to read it in class, and so your oral presentation will count for 50% of your grade.

We'll have the chance to talk about that in class on Tuesday.
