Also, during the week of December 6- December 13 you will complete a take-home grammar quiz (click here: Quiz #2 EN031 Fall Semester 2011) based on the grammar we covered the second half of the semester. The quiz will cover the following grammar topics:

- Word forms (noun, verb, adjective, adverb forms of the same word base/root)
- Comparatives/Superlatives
- Sentence fragments
- Run-on sentences
- Comma splices
- Transition words for comparing-contrasting
- Verb-Adjective + preposition combinations
You can bring the following things with you to the final exam:
- English dictionaries (or you can use online versions)
- Bilingual dictionaries, book or electronic form (do NOT use Google Translate)
- Any essays, worksheets, reference sheets, homework, etc. that you’ve completed in this class
- References from my website
- The class textbook
- NOTE: You can type the final exam in Microsoft Word (preferred). If you don’t type, I will print out a few extra copies of the exam for you to write on.
- ALSO NOTE: You will NOT be allowed to use Google Translate in any way, shape, or form. If you do this, you will automatically fail the course and not advance a level.
