Engl. 099 Course Outline Main Objective The course aims at improving the four major skills of the English language: listening, speaking, reading and writing. It builds on and strengthens the basics that students have acquired at school. General Points 1. Absence is to be regularly marked on www.just.edu.jo/marks. Students should check Student Services to know the number of absences they have. If a student is absent more than 10% without an excuse, he/she will fail. 2. If you dont attend an exam, you have only one week to present your excuse or you will lose your right to make a make-up exam. 3. Any attempt of cheating will be dealt with according to the university rules. 4. Because of the large number of students and lack of facilities in the classroom, students are not going to be examined in listening and speaking, but these are not to be totally ignored in the classroom; they can be given to the students as homework. 5. Special emphasis should be given to grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, written expressions and exercises.
