• Homework will be assigned most nights of the
  week, unless there is a major holiday or event
  that evening. In addition to the written work, it
  is strongly advised you review your notes each
  day, meaning that if you were not given a written
  assignment, you STILL have homework! is very
  important that you review vocab and verbs
  EVERYDAY for at least 10 (ten) minutes.
• Assignments will be posted daily on the website.
  I have also added some links to websites that are
  great for practicing skills and that contain
  cultural information or games, just click on
  Spanish resources.
• Students should study a little every night and
  not wait to cram the night before tests and
  quizzes.
• Homework is graded for points, completion or for
  participation points. It is your responsibility
  to find out the homework assignment following an
  absence by checking the web page, asking a
  classmate or e mailing me
