Written Assignments:
1. Written assignments consist of language exercises, essays, content questions, and dialogues.
You should do
the language exercises
in the book “Encounters in Modern Hebrew 3". A detailed list of the
required exercises can be found in your Hoveret.
The essays, content questions, and dialogues should have margins and must be written on alternate lines of ruled paper. This is essential for effective comments and corrections.
2. All written assignments and quizzes must be kept in a pocket-folder. The folder helps in keeping constant track of your progress. Do not keep any material other than your assignments and quizzes in this folder. An assignment is considered complete only after you have successfully corrected all the errors you made. At the end of the semester you should hand in your folder for final evaluation.

You will be expected to give an in-class oral
presentation during the course of the
