Attendance Policy
Three Strikes "You're Out!!"
One of the most important aspects of language learning is to be consistent in your study. For this reason SUAC teachers expect that you will attend every class. However, everyone gets sick or has a family emergency at some point in their life. That is why SUAC allows you to miss up to two classes each term. Keep in mind that being absent will have a negative effect on your score. On the third strike, you are out. You will automatically fail the class no matter what your score at the time of your third absence.
The bottom line is: Don't miss class!!

Common TOEIC Homework for all English Communication Classes
TOEIC Cycles 1 & 2 Homework
Your homework is to complete two full cycles of the online TOEIC system. Each completed cycle is worth 5% of your overall grade for English Communication 1 - 4 and Upper English Communication 1 - 4. Please note that this homework must be completed by midnight of the due date. Late homework will receive a score of zero.
The first cycle is correctly answering ten questions in each section (7 X 10 = 70). The program will then analyze the results to determine your three weakest sections. You will then need to correctly answer 20 questions in each of those sections (3 X 20 = 60). This homework is worth 5% of your overall score.
