In 2016 General Linguistics 178 comprises the following sections:

There are three lectures per week:

• Tuesday 15:00 (Van der Sterr Building, room 1024)
• Thursday 10:00 (Arts Building, room 230)
• Friday 14:00 (Arts Building, room 230)

In addition to these lectures, students also have to attend one compulsory tutorial per week. Admission to a tutorial may be refused if a student has failed to attend all three of the main lectures of the previous week without an officially acceptable excuse. The general arrangements regarding the tutorials for General Linguistics 178 are as follows:

(i)        All tutorials for each section of the module must be attended and all tutorial exercises must be completed and submitted on time. Students who fail to do so may be refused entrance to the final examination.

(ii)      If a student misses a tutorial owing to medical reasons, it is the responsibility of the student to provide his/her tutor with a valid medical certificate before or on the day of the following tutorial (see also Appendix B). This will prevent a mark of zero being awarded for the missed tutorial. In such cases, the tutor will provide the student with a copy of the missed tutorial, but it remains the student's responsibility to obtain the correct answers from a classmate.

(iii)     Tutorial workbooks will be returned to students before each formal class test and before the end of year examination. In addition to studying the work covered in the lectures, students are expected to use the tutorials as a tool for testing their knowledge during test and examination preparation.

(iv)      In the presentation of tutorials, the Department follows a system of parallel instruction. Students are divided, as far as possible, according to their preferred language, into an Afrikaans tutorial group (with teaching and learning through medium of Afrikaans) or an English tutorial group (with teaching and learning through medium of English).
