Write in
a paragraph (NOT like a listing as you see above). Write about one
full page (about 500 words) to get "A" grade and at least half the page
(about 300 words) to receive a
passing grade (use “Word Count”
under "Review" if you are using MS Word 2010) by elaborating your content such as talking about your hometown,
describing people
(friends and teachers)
or
places that you visited
during vacations and breaks, or courses you took
during summer, etc. Your final hand-written version
must be turned in after you get feedback from me.
(Refer to the Calendar for due dates.)
Now, you are ready to start the course. Start working on the chapter 1.
