A Word about Academic Honesty

All students should practice academic honesty. Academic misconduct is subject to an academic penalty by the course instructor and/or disciplinary sanction by the University. I expect you to adhere to the standards set forth in the Student Conduct Code. The Code is available for review online at: http://life. umt. edu/vpsa/student_conduct. php

Here are some specific guidelines for this course.

You should complete all tests (including the final) and quizzes without

consulting outside sources and without help from another individual. All work on these exercises should be solely your own.

Working with other students on homework can be quite helpful and is encouraged as long as you adhere to a few simple rules: 

A.  It is always permissible to consult with other students to review general concepts (i. e., when to use genitive case, case usage after numbers, the difference between imperfective and perfective aspect). 

B.  You may work on individual homework assignments with other students, but you need to make this a truly collaborative effort.

You may consult with native or heritage speakers only on general issues of Russian grammar. You should not ask a native speaker for help on individual assignments. Feel free to practice your Russian with anyone you wish, however (and I strongly encourage you to attend Russian-related functions on campus, such as Russian table, film screenings, etc.).
If you are unclear about whether certain forms of consultation or common work are acceptable, please ask me.

The University of Montana assures equal access to instruction through collaboration between students with disabilities, instructors, and Disability Services for Students (DSS). If you think you may have a disability adversely affecting your academic performance and you have not already registered with DSS, please contact DSS in Lommasson 154. I will be glad to work with you and DSS to provide an appropriate accommodation.

SYLLABUS        

*Nota Bene* – The syllabus which follows is a general syllabus, and as such nothing is intended to be set in stone. I reserve the right to add material to daily assignments or to make changes, but I will make an effort to keep major assignments (e. g. test dates) as they are listed below.

               Verb Conjugation Pattern Review

               Домашка:        Practice conjugating the verbs on p. 12 of the coursepack.

                               There are twelve verb groups listed on p. 12.

                               Choose one verb from each group and try to determine                                                what the verb stem would be. Conjugate the verb. Then                                                write an original sentence using the verb. You should end                                                up with 12 stems, 12 conjugated verbs, and 12 sentences.
