COURSE OVERVIEW
Ideally speaking, the work of this course is set up for you on the basis of one assignment per week, covering a twelve-week period. It is a course requirement that you send in the completed assignment when it is finished rather than waiting until several are completed and then sending several at one time. This requirement is reasonable since you will then be able to avoid repeating the errors of one paper on a succeeding one.

Always feel at liberty to ask any question on any of the textbook material that is not clear or on any work that is handed in for correction. It might be wise to enclose an extra sheet of paper with your assignment on which you have written your questions regarding the Hebrew language. Please leave sufficient room between questions for answers to be typed in for you by your professor.

LEARNING DOCUMENTATION
Four examinations are included in this course, one of which is a vocabulary exam. The first three exams are included in your textbook and are not to be looked at until you are ready to take them. The final examination will be sent separately to a minister or educator whom you shall designate for the purpose of proctoring. The final examination grade will constitute 20 of your final grade for the course. The papers which you will submit for grading will be 80 of your final grade.

LEARNING EVALUATION
A normal progression in preparing a given assignment is as follows:

1. Carefully read the assignment sections of the textbook.

2. Listen carefully, with your textbook open to the CD recording, for the assignment on which you are working, practicing your own Hebrew pronunciation.

3. Write out the exercises for the assignment.

4. Mail in your written assignment, along with any questions you have on a separate sheet of paper.

5. Begin work on the next assignment. (However, do not mail in the next assignment until you have received back the former one and have reviewed it carefully.)

From reading the introduction to the textbook, you will notice there is a key to the textbook exercises available. You are on your honor not to secure or to use the key until you have completed your Hebrew course with us.

ASSIGNMENT SUBMISSION
Online submissions are not accepted in this course. Assignments must be mailed in to the instructor for grading and correction.
