·          Attendance at lectures is an essential component of the course. Some lectures will include
short exercises for completion during the lecture. These will be self-corrected.

·          Attendance at tutorials is compulsory and will count towards the final mark.

·          All assessment components must be completed to qualify for a final result.

The assessment in this course consists of 6 components: 

A. Reflective Journal:
FIRST SUBMISSION DEADLINE: WEEK 3, end, Friday [17 March 2023]
SECOND SUBMISSION DEADLINE: WEEK 12, end, Sunday [4 June 2023]

B. Linguistic Practicals (These will be distributed in the tutorials):
Practical #1 – Semantics (DEADLINE: WEEK 4, end, Sunday) [26 March 2023] 
Practical #2 – Lexicology & Morphology (DEADLINE: WEEK 6, end, Sunday) [9 April 2023]
Practical #3 – Phonetics & Phonology (DEADLINE: WEEK 9, end, Friday) [12 May 2023]
Practical #4 – Language Change & Syntax (DEADLINE: WEEK 11, end, Sunday) [28 May 2023]

C. Final Quiz Online (WEEK 13, in the lecture slot, at the same room at the lecture) [Thursday, 8 June 2022, 12:10pm]
The final quiz will cover the content of the lectures and a number of set chapters of the textbook.

Further particulars about the REFLECTIVE JOURNAL:

Students will maintain a journal with entries each week that reflect personally on observations of language and linguistics as related to the content of this course. For example, in week 7 the journal might reflect on phonetic features of the students’ own speech that differ from the phonetic transcription that is provided in a dictionary. Students will have an opportunity to share their observations in the first 5 or 10 minutes of the tutorial that week.

Journals will be submitted online at the end of Week 3 and, again, at the end of Week 12. They will be read by the tutor and will contribute towards the final mark. Maintenance of the journal is not meant to be an onerous task. It does not matter if for one or other week there is nothing to report, but we do want to see that you have applied what you have learnt in this course to the world around you and that you are observing language. Entries are required for a minimum of 8 of the 12 weeks. Entries should consist of the observation(s) itself plus reflection or linguistic explanation to account for the observation.

PLAGIARISM AND ANY UNDISCLOSED USE OF AI/CHATGPT ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN AND DETECTABLE.
