Assigned Readings:

The textbook provides the bulk of the content of the course. Two chapters of the textbook are assigned in each study unit. You are responsible for all material in the assigned readings. Some topics may be discussed in Web Lectures as well.

Note: You are not expected to memorize specific examples in the textbook or the Web Lectures. For instance, a list of native and borrowed words is given on page 8 of the text. You do not need to memorize these specific examples. You do need to understand basic differences between these two types of words and be able pick out examples in a new list of words. If you understand the principles taught in the text and Web Lectures and have worked through the exercises, you should be able to deal with new examples with a high degree of confidence.
