>>10770941it depends on the professor. the 3 most popular attitudes are
>i know most of you don't care about this class. for anyone who does i'll be lecturing every day. for anyone else i'll post which chapters the midterm and final cover when they're coming up, good luck studying>i get that this is a gen ed class but please don't treat it like a joke. diversity in your education is important and you might find that you're more interested in this topic than you think! there will be biweekly tests and you get extra credit if you're here every day.>fuck you. you're either in here because you chose this class out of several options or the university has decided that you have to take my class. that means this class is vital. it is not unimportant. it is not a free pass. it is not lame. i am not lame i am very cool and important because you have to take my class. if you miss more than the minimum 3 days that i'm required to allow you for """"emergencies""""" then i will fail you. of course the midterm and final will be cumulative and i will not be providing study guides, you should have notes from every class to study for those anyway.needless to say 1 is absolutely based and correct, 2 is respectable, 3 is usually the newest professor in the department being forced to do the 101 class and as completely ass blasted as any one person could possibly be about it
yeah. it's split into elementary, intermediate, "composition and conversation", and advanced. based on that my guess would be that by the end of 2 you can understand simple sentences and work out most things that don't have complex or flowery language as long as you have time and a dictionary. by the end of 4 you're rarely going to have issues communicating ideas with someone but you'll sound noticeably JSL. by the end of 6 you'll be fluent and 7/8 are for learning all the quirks and edge cases that native speakers have a 50/50 shot of knowing depending how well spoken they are
