3. Very Important Messages About This Class
This is a fast-paced intensive vocabulary class that’s based on three important factors: 1. instruction; 2. in-class exercises (including quizzes); 3. after-class review For best result, please listen to the instruction attentively, do the exercises (quizzes) seriously, and review class materials carefully. Please keep you class username (like Wonder) unchanged throughout all the meetings of this class. Inconsistent class username may cause confusion or even result in the student’s removal from the class meeting. Thank you so much for your attention! Have fun!

4. For the protection of our rights, please don’t share class recordings and slides with other people. Unauthorized use (including sharing) of the class materials is prohibited.

5. I tell you what to do and how to do; you do the DO part
I tell you what to do and how to do; you do the DO part! Review and exercise, review and exercise! No big deal, but also terribly big deal!

6. To enhance class efficiency and class dynamics, we will have more in-class ask-and-answer exercises other than student reading. The students will all be put on the mic, but the answering and discussing sequence will be random. This will make the students stay alert during the class time and thus improve the class efficiency and effectiveness. So don’t play games or websurf—you might get caught off guard!
