1. I understand that I CANNOT pass this course without successfully completing this Laboratory requirement. I understand that in lieu of attending a physical language laboratory on campus as an assigned class, I am able to access the lab material at any time to complete the listening exercises requirement at a reasonable rate. Incomplete labs are regarded as Laboratory absences and I will not pass and/or will be dropped accordingly.

2. I understand that I ought to stop the audio file and replay a section in order to listen several times until I am able to get all of the information I need. I do not expect to understand everything the first time I hear a statement or a question. Therefore I should listen as many times as is necessary for me to successfully complete the exercise. The computer will record each attempt; I am free to make as many attempts as I need or want in order to be successful.

3. I understand that logging in from home or work is advantageous; however, non-functioning home computers are not an excuse for lack of lab time: I must use the Ohlone computers if I do not have the ability to log in from home or work. Therefore I will not wait until the last minute to attempt to complete the online exercises. I understand that I will not receive grade credit for rushed and/or late work.

4. I know that the assignments and due dates are posted on the Quia virtual lab website at http://books.quia.com. I understand that the due dates in the online lab & workbook assignments are terminal end dates for accessing these activities. The due dates do NOT indicate the date that I should begin these exercises and so I will pace myself accordingly.

5. I understand that this course requires one hour of laboratory work per week and so the Quia site tracks when I log in, the time spent listening to each exercise, the answers I type in each attempt, the success of my answers and the time I log out.
