HOMEWORK
You will need to turn in sound files almost every week. You can record your voice in the ELI computer lab on the 4th
floor, or you can do it at home. Upload the sound file (MP3) to eCampus as follows:
Soundfile#NAMEELIO100 or CVP#NAMEELIO100
Example for homework Sound file 3: Soundfile3YANGEVAELIO100
So this is sound file 3 from Yang Eva, for class ELIO 100
Example for Conversation partner 2: CVP2MohammadAliELIO100
So this is homework conversation partner 2, from Mohammad Ali, for ELIO 100

About Grades
Grades are shown in eCampus. Your course grade is calculated as assignments come in and is not final until
after the Final Interview is done in December. Therefore, the course average shown there is NOT reliable but
gives you an idea of where you stand.
Keep track of the grades I post to eCampus. Do not throw away graded papers. Notify me of any problems.
Late work can only be accepted under certain circumstances such as illness or other events as decided by
TAMU policies. Other events or circumstances may qualify. Ask me and notify me immediately. Certain
assignments are better turned in late than not at all. 25% to 50% may be taken off the grade for that
assignment and it may take up to a few weeks before it is graded.
No arrangements you make with me are final until they are confirmed by email. Always identify
yourself with name and class number in your email. Here are some examples:
Dear Ms. Sturgeon,
I was absent yesterday in ELIO 100 and would like to make up the quiz. Please let me know what I should
turn in. The doctors note is attached to this email. Thank you, Ahmed Mansour.
Dear Ms. Sturgeon,
I did not finish homework assignment Sound File 3 on time for ELIO 100. Please let me know if you will still
accept it now. It is attached to this email. Thank you, Nina Bola.

An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal, or tolerate those who do.
Plagiarism is a type of cheating. Plagiarism is using the ideas, words, graphics, homework, etc. of another person and
pretending they are ones own. All work submitted should be your own work. You will benefit the most from this course if you
thoughtfully produce each assignment yourself. You may include another persons idea if you mention the source of the idea; you
may include another persons words if you put quotation marks ( ) around the borrowed words AND mention their source. For
more information about how to avoid plagiarism, see http://aggiehonor.tamu.edu/Descriptions/Plagiarism.aspx.
