Duits 178 (2011): Inleiding tot die Duitse Taal en Kultuur

Transcription

1 Duits 178 (2011): Inleiding tot die Duitse Taal en Kultuur (24 krediete) Die module is bedoel om studente n basiese interkulturele kommunikasievermoë te gee. Dit poog m.a.w. om studente in staat te stel om hedendaagse Duits in alledaagse situasies te praat, te lees en in n mindere mate te skryf; en wél met n basiese kennis van die hedendaagse leefwêreld in die Duitssprekende lande. Toelating Hierdie module is bedoel vir studente sonder enige kennis van Duits. Studente wat reeds Duits in graad 12 geslaag het asook moedertaalsprekers, skryf in vir Duits 188. Benadering In hierdie kursus word van 'n ietwat onkonvensionele onderrigbenadering gebruik gemaak, naamlik van "Versnelde Taalonderrig" of "Suggestopedagogiek". Een van die belangrikste kenmerke van hierdie benadering is dat die klas omskep word in 'n omgewing waar 'n mens op natuurlike wyse kan Duits leer die ontspanne atmosfeer en al die Duitse prente en "posters" help om 'n mens te verplaas in 'n "Duitse wêreld" en dit maak dit vir die brein baie makliker om aan die nuwe taal gewoond te raak. U sal ook agterkom dat feitlik net Duits gepraat word in die klas vanaf dag een. Miskien sal u nie altyd elke woord verstaan nie, maar hierdie benadering is verreweg die beste om te gebruik. Wat beslis van die leerder verwag word, is om teenwoordig te wees en deel te neem. Die klasse word presies beplan om dit vir die brein moontlik te maak om so veel nuwe inligting te verwerk as wat in die 50 minute van 'n periode moontlik is u kan verseker wees dat dit baie meer is as wanneer u lang lyste woordeskat uit die kop sou probeer leer! Struktuur van die kursus Vir 3 periodes per week word die lesse rondom 'n teks beplan wat in die klas aan u verskaf word. Die teks is 'n drama en dit word van week tot week uitgedeel in die vorm van tonele, amper soos n vervolgverhaal op die radio of n sepie op televisie. In die drama lees 'n mens van Duitse karakters wat verskillende dinge doen en ervaar, en die basiese idee is dat studente daardeur toegang kry tot die alledaagse lewe in Duitsland. U sal gou agterkom dat die verhaal self heeltemal fiktief is. Dit sal egter ook vir u duidelik word dat die teks al die belangrikste woordeskat en strukture bevat wat u sou benodig as u in die werklike lewe in Duitsland sou rondreis. Dit is dus dubbel en dwars die moeite word om die teks goed te bestudeer, aangesien dit 'n mens die nuwe taal op 'n baie aangename en koherente manier laat leer. Vir die ander 2 periodes word studente in groepe verdeel. In een van die periodes word taalstrukture verduidelik en geoefen en tydens n ander een kry studente die geleentheid om aan die hand van tekste en video hulle mondelinge kommunikasievermoë te verbeter. Studente word ook verplig om 'n rekenaarprogram op Webstudies ( Abenteuer mit Werner und Roswitha ) te volg waar werk wat in die klasse behandel is, geoefen en getoets word. Boeke en notas Stief, C./Stang, C German Grammar in a Nutshell / Deutsche Grammatik - kurz und schmerzlos. München: Langenscheidt. Volledige notas sal verskaf word. Enige tweetalige woordeboek (bv Collins, Langenscheidt) word sterk aanbeveel. Dosente Navrae Dr Isabel dos Santos (modulekoördineerder), Letteregebou 559, Tel.

2 Evaluering In Duits 178 word van deurlopende evaluering gebruik gemaak. Dit beteken dat studente se kommunikatiewe vaardighede (verstaan, praat, lees en skryf) en hulle deelname deurlopend beoordeel word, onder andere deur middel van amptelike toetse, gereëlde huiswerk, klastoetse en rekenaartoetse. Daar word geen eindeksamen geskryf nie, net n toets. Dit beteken onder meer dat iemand wat gedurende die loop van die jaar swak presteer, nie aan die einde van die jaar meer sy/haar punt beduidend kan verbeter nie. Amptelike toetse (aangedui op die toets- en eksamenrooster) vind plaas op 7 Maart (nie 28 April nie!), 21 Mei, 29 Augustus (nie 28 September nie!) en 12 November. Mondelinge deelname in die klas is noodsaaklik en dit word beoordeel. Rekenaaroefeninge en/of -toetse vorm ook 'n integrale deel van die kursus en studente word verplig om gereeld 'n program op Webstudies te volg. Om die module te slaag, is dit absoluut noodsaaklik om alle klasse by te woon en om werkopdragte stiptelik in te handig en die rekenaaropdragte te doen. Klastoetse word nie voor die tyd aangekondig nie. Studente wat sonder verskoning van klasse afwesig is, kan verwag dat hulle ouers hieroor ingelig sal word. Duits 178 is n jaarkursus (24 krediete) en die prestasiepunt word as volg bereken: Skriftelike werk Mondeling April-toets 60 min 5% Mei-toets 90 min 15% Okt-toets 60 min 5% Nov-toets 90 min 15% Huiswerk & klastoetse 20% Mondelinge in die klas 8% Mei-mondeling 10% Okt-mondeling 10% Luisterbegrip (4 toetse) 12% U word gereëld ingelig oor u vordering (hou die kennisgewingbord vir Duits dop oorkant kantoor 548 in die Letteregebou!)

5 Assesseringsgeleenthede 178 / 2011 & Algemene Riglyne Deurlopende evaluering Duits 178 maak gebruik van deurlopende evaluering. Hierdie sisteem werk soos volg: Geen eksamens word geskryf nie en daar is dus geen predikaat of tweede eksamengeleentheid nie. Daar is verskeie assesseringsgeleenthede gedurende die jaar: toetse, huiswerk en werk gedoen in tutoriale/praktiese klasse en mondelinge. Studente sal hierdie module net suksesvol voltooi indien hulle klasse gereeld bywoon en gereeld hulle werk vir evaluering ingee. Klasbywoning en werk wat ingegee word, vorm n student se studieprofiel en word in ag geneem wanneer finale punte bepaal word. Indien n student met n punt van 48% of 49% nie slaag nie, mag hy/sy dalk baat vind by n goeie studieprofiel, terwyl dit vir n student wat ongereeld klasse bygewoon het nie die geval mag wees nie. n Paar persent wat kortkom om met 50% te slaag, beteken dat die student deur die bank onderpresteer het, nie slegs in een groot toets nie, en punte kan nie sommer net aangepas word nie. Selfs die finale, vierde toets tel min op sy eie. Dit is daarom baie belangrik om dwarsdeur die jaar bo 50% te presteer en om alle werk in te handig sodat die slaag van die module nie in gevaar gestel word nie. Assesseringsgeleenthede Datums Gewig van 100% Huiswerktake op Webstudies Klastoetse (onafgekondig) en projekte weekliks bepaal deur groepsdosent_ 20 Mondelinge in die klas (4) eenkeer per kwartaal, afgekondig in die klas 8 TOETS 1 (eerste kwartaal)* Ma 7 Maart, in klastyd (maak seker van lokaal) 5 HV 1 (Luistervaardigheid 1) Ma 14 Maart, in klastyd 3 HV 2 (Luistervaardigheid 2) Ma 18 April, in klastyd 3 Mondelinge eksamen (eerste semester) Finale week van klasse, 9-11 Mei 10 TOETS 2 (eerste semester) Sat 21 Mei, 9h00, lokaal HV 3 (Luistervaardigheid 3) Ma, 15 Augustus, in klastyd 3 TOETS 3 (derde kwartaal)* Ma 29 Aug., in klastyd (maak seker van lokaal) 5 HV 4 (Luistervaardigheid 4) Ma 26 September, in klastyd 3 Mondelinge eksamen (tweede semester) Finale week van klasse, Oktober 10 TEST 4 (eerste en tweede semester) Sat 12 November, 14h00, lokaal * Neem asb. kennis dat daar vir TOETS 1 en TOETS 3 oorspronklik ander datums op die amptelike toetsrooster geskeduleer was. Hierdie twee toetse sal nou op datums vroeër as die amptelike datums in klastyd geskryf word en die datums word hierbo aangedui. Alle assesseringsgeleenthede in vetdruk ( bold ) hierbo is verpligtend.

6 Al vier kwartaaltoetse en beide mondelinge eksamens is verpligtend. Sou u een van die assesseringsgeleenthede mis, word die module Duits 178 as onvoltooid beskou. Dit beteken dat u nie die module slaag al is u gemiddelde punt hoër as 50%. Hierdie reël word baie streng in die department toegepas. HV word in die klas gedoen. Sou n student hierdie toetse mis, kan geen alternatiewe geleentheid gereël word nie tensy n oorspronklike mediese sertifikaat vir daardie dag getoon kan word nie. Onafgekondigde klastoetse kan nie geherskeduleer word nie. Net siekte (mediese sertifikaat) en/of n amptelike toetsroosterbotsing is aanvaarbare redes vir die mis van n assesseringsgeleentheid. Geen ander uitsonderings sal gemaak word nie(sien Siekte en Toetsroosterbotsings hier onder). Teken asb. in u dagboek alle assesseringsdatums aan en onthou hierdie datums as u langnaweke beplan sodat u nie een van die assesseringsgeleenthede mis nie. Siekte Indien n student weens siekte nie na n verpligte toets/mondeling kan kom nie, moet die departement binne 24 uur daarvan in kennis gestel word (per e-pos of per telefoon) en n alternatiewe geleentheid sal gegee word. Neem asb. kennis dat in sulke gevalle die oorspronklike dokterssertifikaat aan die departement getoon moet word, voordat die alternatiewe geleentheid opgeneem kan word. Geen ander uitsonderings behalwe amptelike toestdatumbotsings sal gemaak word nie. Dit geld ook vir die luistervaardigheidstoetse. Toetsroosterbotsings Indien die toetsdatums vir Duits 178 met n ander vak se toetsdatums bots, laat weet u dosent betyds en alternatiewe reëlings sal gemaak word. U dosent moet die amptelike toetsrooster sien of n verklaring van die dosent van die ander vak oor die botsing. Geen alternatiewe reëlings sal getref word nie, indien n student nalaat om vir n toets op te daag as gevolg van n botsing waaroor sy dosent nie vooraf ingelig is nie. Toetslokale Toetslokale word op die kennisgewingborde oorkant lokaal 548 aangekondig of op Webstudies, behalwe as assessering in die klas plaasvind. Toetsreëls Wees betyds vir die toetse, kom verkieslik 10 minute voor die begin van die verpligte toetse. Wanneer u in groot lesinglokale skryf, maak seker dat u in reguit rye van bo tot onder sit met n leë sitplek aan beide kante (kyk agter u om seker te maak die ry is reguit). Geen sakke of notas word tydens die toetse by studente toegelaat nie en selfone moet afgeskakel wees. Die gebruik of hantering van selfone gedurende n toets word nie toegelaat nie. Onthou om u studentekaart by u te hê en te toon. Maak seker dat u weet in watter seminaargroep u is en wie u groepsdosent is.

7 Ander riglyne Verwagtinge aan die student Wat word verder van die Duits 178-student verwag? Kom na al 5 klasse in die week (3 seminaar + 1 grammatikaklas + 1 prakties) Neem aktief deel in die klas Lees die operateks tweekeer per dag (= die sleutel tot sukses!) Handig alle werksopdragte in Onthou, die operateks is eintlik u handboek, dit is n uiters waardevolle werktuig in u Duitsleerproses en u moet die teks werklik goed ken. Om die teks tweekeer per dag te lees, is die belangrikste huiswerk vir Duits 178 en alhoewel dit nie iets is wat direk geëvalueer word nie, sal u op die langtermyn punte daarvoor kry, wanneer u Duits goed kan verstaan en gebruik. Grammatika- en Praktiese klasse Indien u grammatikaklasse op n vakansiedag val (9 Augustus is so n dag), gaan asb. na n klas in n ander tydgleuf in daardie week. As u op n permanente basis n ander grammatikaklas of prakties wil bywoon, stel die dosent daarvan in kennis. Alhoewel hierdie klasse tutoriale en praktiese genoem word, is hierdie klasse streng verpligtend. Huiswerk Alle huiswerktake en projekte moet op die aangekondigde datums en tyd ingegee word asook op die korrekte plek. Dit is u verantwoordelikheid dat u presies weet waar en wanneer u huiswerk ingegee moet word. Indien u n klas mis, dan is dit ook u verantwoordelikheid om uit te vind of u enige huuiswerktake gemis het en indien nodig, of u materiaal van n medestudent moet kry. Na die ingeedatum en tyd (gewoonlik in die klas) sal 10% per dag vir twee dae afgetrek word. Daarna sal geen huiswerk meer aanvaar word om gemerk te word nie. Huiswerk moet deur die student self ingegee word en nie deur n vriend of klasmaat nie. Huiswerk wat onder die kantoordeur ingestoot is of wat vir n persoon gegee word wat nie die groepsdosent is nie, sal nie aanvaar word nie. Onder geen omstandighede sal huiswerk nog aanvaar word nadat gemerkte huiswerktake al aan studente terug gegee is nie. Geldigheid van dokterssertifikate Indien u so siek is dat u nie kan klas toe kom nie, huiswerk doen nie of n toets kan skryf nie, gaan sien n dokter sodat u n dokterssertifikaat kan kry en laat u dosent so gou as moontlik maar nie later as binne 24 uur daarvan weet nie. Geen mediese sertifikate wat voor- of nagedateer is nie en net oorspronklikes sal aanvaar word. Indien u die sertifikaat ook in ander departemente moet wys, bring asb. die oorspronklike saam tesame met n fotokopie, wat u by die departement kan ingee. Maak seker dat die dosent die kopie teken, nadat hy/sy die oorspronklike gesien het. Die sertifikaat moet duidelik aandui of u verskoon word vir klasse en/of toetse en moet leesbaar wees. In geval van mediese problem kan u seker wees dat die dosent met begrip, diskresie en ondersteuning sal optree. Klasbywoning Klasbywoning is baie belangrik as n mens n taal leer en word streng gemonitor. Vordering en die gebrek daaraan wys duidelik dat swak klasbywoning die belangrikste rede vir swak studenteprestasie is. Indien u om een of ander rede n klas moet mis en dit is buite u beheer, onthou dan dat dit u en nie die dosent se verantwoordelikheid is om klasnotas te kry en om die werk wat gemis is, in te haal.

8 Probleme As u n problem het, wat bespreek moet word, volg asb die prosedure soos in die departementele studiegids verduidelik: Bespreek eers die saak met die groepsdosent. Indien dit nie opgelos word nie, kontak die modulekoördineerder (Dr dos Santos). As u nog steeds nie tevrede is nie, is u welkom om die saak met die Departementele Voorsitter, Dr Catherine du Toit te bespreek (maak n afspraak via die sekretaresse, Mev Engelbrecht by of lizellee@sun.ac.za). U kan ook die klasverteenwoordiger kontak. Hou hierdie dokument in die beginseksie (wit) van u lêer en gaan daarna terug gedurende die jaar, as u inligting nodig het.

9 German 178 (2011): Introduction to the German Language and Culture (24 credits) The module is designed to provide basic intercultural communication skills. It enables students to understand, speak, read and - to a lesser degree - write contemporary German in everyday situations which includes a basic knowledge of the present day situation in the German speaking countries. Admission This module is for students who have no previous knowledge of German. Mother tongue speakers and students who passed German in grade 12 enrol for German 188. Approach The German 178 course is presented according to a somewhat unconventional approach to teaching, namely "Accelerated Language Teaching" or "Suggestopedia". One of the main features of this approach is that the classroom is arranged in such a manner that it represents an environment in which one can learn German in a natural way. The relaxed atmosphere and the German pictures and posters aim to create a "German world" in which your brain can get used to the German language without much effort. You will also notice that almost everything is said in German right from day one. You may not always be able to understand every single word, but be assured: this is by far the best way to go about learning a new language. The most important thing expected of you, the learner, is to be present and to actively participate. The classes are planned meticulously to enable the brain to absorb as much information as possible in the duration of a 50- minute period lecture you can be sure that this is much more effective than sitting down to memorise long lists of vocabulary! Course structure For 3 of the 5 weekly periods, students are divided into seminar groups. These classes are structured around a text that you will receive in class. This text is written as a drama and new scenes are handed out weekly. One could compare this with following a television soapy or a radio serial. In the drama you will read about German characters doing and experiencing a lot of different things, and the idea, basically is that this provides you with a general overview of German life in everyday situations. You will soon notice that the story itself is entirely fictitious. The text, however, contains essential vocabulary and structures that you would require when travelling or living in Germany. It is, therefore, definitely worth your while to study the text carefully, as it enables you to acquire the new language in a very pleasant and coherent way. For the other 2 periods students are divided into groups in which language structures will be explained and practised. Students will also have the opportunity to practise their oral communication skills with the help of video and audio material. In addition to the 5 periods, students follow a self-study programme on Webstudies ( Abenteuer mit Werner und Roswitha ) where aspects of the work done in class are practised and tested. Books and notes German Grammar in a Nutshell / Deutsche Grammatik - kurz und schmerzlos. Class notes will be provided. A good bilingual dictionary (e.g. Collins, Langenscheidt) is strongly recommended. Lecturers - Enquiries: Dr Isabel dos Santos (course leader), Arts Bldg. 559, Tel.

10 Evaluation In German 178 the system of continuous assessment is applicable. Students communicative skills (listening comprehension, speaking, reading and writing) as well as their class participation, are evaluated on a regular basis. Forms of assessment include formal tests, assignments, class tests and computer tests. There are no examinations, but remember, this implies that a student who has performed poorly during the year can do nothing to significantly improve his/her mark towards the end of the year. Official tests (check the test and examination time table) will be written on 7 March (not 28 April!), 21 May, 29 August (not 28 September!) and 12 November. Oral participation in class is essential and will be assessed. Students are also tested on a regular basis in class. The computer programme on Webstudies which students follow in their own time throughout the year is for self-study. Further guidelines on assessment will be provided. In order to pass the module it is essential to attend all classes, to hand in all assignments and do the tasks on Webstudies. Class tests are not announced in advance. Students who stay away from classes without an official excuse can expect that the Department will inform their parents about this. German 178 is a year course (24 credits) and the final mark is calculated as follows: Written work (reading and writing) March test 60 min 5% May test 90 min 15% Sep. test 60 min 5% Nov. test 90 min 15% Homework & class tests 20% Oral (listening comprehension and speaking) Oral class presentations 8% May oral 10% Oct. oral 10% Listening comprehension (4 tests) 12% You will be informed about your progress regularly (watch the notice board for German outside the secretary's office, room 548!) For further information about the system of continuous assessment, consult the year book of the University for 2011, part 1.

13 Assessment Opportunities 178 / 2011 & General Guidelines Continuous assessment German 178 makes use of Continuous Assessment. This system is applied as follows: No exams are written and there is therefore no predicate and no second opportunities. There are a number of assessment opportunities throughout the year: tests, homework, and work done in tutorials / practical classes and orals. Students will only be able to succeed in this course by regular class attendance and regularly submitting work. Attendance and submitted work shape a student s profile and come into play when the final marks are determined. If a student is failing at 48+ or 49%, he/she might benefit from a good profile while a student who has attended classes irregularly will not. Please note that a few percent missing towards the desired pass of 50% means that the student has underperformed throughout, not just in a major test and marks cannot be adjusted. Even the final test counts little on its own. It is therefore of the utmost importance to perform well above 50% throughout the whole year and submit all work in order not to jeopardize the module. Assessment opportunities Dates Weight of 100% Homework assignments on Webstudies Class tests (unannounced) & projects weekly determined by group lecturer 20 Oral class presentations (4) once a term, announced in class 8 TEST 1 (1 st term)* Mon, 7 March, in class time (check venue) 5 HV 1 (Listening Comprehension 1) Mon, 14 March, in class 3 HV 2 (Listening Comprehension 2) Mon, 18 April, in class 3 Oral exam (1 st semester) Final week of classes, 9-11 May 10 TEST 2 (1 st semester) Sat, 21 May, 9h00, room HV 3 (Listening Comprehension 3) Mon, 15 August, in class 3 TEST 3 (3 rd term)* Mon, 29 August, in class time (check venue) 5 HV 4 (Listening Comprehension 4) Mon, 26 September, in class 3 Oral exam (2 nd semester) Final week of classes, October 10 TEST 4 (1 st & 2 nd semester) Sat, 12 November, 14h00, room * Please note that TEST 1 and TEST 3 are scheduled for different dates on the official test roster. These tests will be written before the official dates on the dates given above. All bolded assessment opportunities are compulsory.

14 All four term tests and both oral exams are compulsory. Should you miss one of these assessment opportunities, your course will be considered incomplete. This means that you will not pass the course even if your average is higher than 50%. This rule is applied very strictly within the Department. HV are done in class. Should a student miss the test, no alternative opportunity can be arranged unless an original medical certificate for the day in question is presented. Unannounced class tests cannot be rescheduled. Only sickness (medical certificate) and / or an official test clash are acceptable reasons for missing an assessment opportunity. No other exceptions will be made (see below: Sickness and Test clashes ). Please diarize all assessment dates and remember them when planning long weekends, so you don t miss an assessment opportunity. Sickness If a student is unable to come to a compulsory test/oral due to sickness, the Department needs to be informed within 24 hours (by or phone) and an alternative opportunity will be given. Please note that in such cases the original medical certificate has to be presented before the alternative opportunity is taken up. No other exceptions apart from official test clashes - will be made. This also applies to the listening comprehension tests. Test clashes Should your test date clash with another subject s test date, do inform your lecturer well in advance and alternative arrangements will be made. Your lecturer will need your official test roster or a statement from the lecturer of the other subject in this regard. No alternative arrangement will be made if a student fails to show up for a test because of a clash of which his/her lecturer had not been informed about in advance. Test venues Test venues are announced on the notice board opposite room 548 or on Webstudies, unless assessments are done in class. Test etiquette Be punctual for tests, arriving at least 10 minutes before starting time for compulsory tests. When writing in large venues make sure to sit in straight rows from top to bottom of the room, with an empty seat either side (look behind you to make sure the row is straight!). No bags or notes are allowed next to students, and cell phones must be switched off. The handling of cell phones during a test is not allowed. Remember to bring your student card. Make sure you know to which seminar group you belong and who your lecturer is. Other guidelines Expectations What else is expected of the German 178 student? be always present in all 5 weekly classes ( 3 Seminar + 1 Grammar + 1 Practical) actively participate in class read the opera text twice daily (= key to success!) submit all required work Remember the opera text is as if it was your text book, it is an invaluable tool in your German studies and you need to know it extremely well. Reading it twice every day is your most

15 important homework, and although this one doesn t get marked, you will get marks for it in the long run. Grammar & Practical classes Should your tutorial class fall on a holiday (e.g. 9 August) please go to a different time slot in that week. If you join another group, even if briefly, please inform the lecturer. Although they are called tutorials, these classes are strictly compulsory. Homework All homework assignments and projects must be submitted by the due date and time, as well as at the correct place. It is your responsibility to ensure that you know exactly where and when your homework must be handed in. Should you miss a class, then it is also your responsibility to find out whether you missed any homework assignments, and if necessary, whether you need to obtain any material from a fellow student. After the due date and time (usually in class), 10% will be deducted per day for two days. Thereafter homework will not be accepted to be marked anymore. Homework has to be handed in by the student concerned, not a friend or class mate. Homework that has been pushed under office doors or that has been handed in to a person other than the lecturer concerned will not be accepted. Under no circumstances will homework be accepted after corrected tasks have been returned to students. Validity of sick notes If you should be so sick that you cannot come to class, do homework or write a test, please consult a doctor in order to get a sick note, and have your lecturer informed immediately. No pre- or postdated medical certificates, and only originals, will be accepted. Should you also need the certificate in other Departments, please bring along the original with a photocopy which you can leave with us and ask the lecturer concerned to sign the photocopy after he/she has seen the original. The certificate needs to indicate clearly whether you are booked off for classes and/or tests and has to be legible! Please be assured that you can always count on the lecturers understanding, discretion and support in the case of medical problems. Class attendance Class attendance is of the greatest importance when learning a language and is monitored strictly. Progress and the lack thereof clearly indicate that poor class attendance is the major reason for poor student performance. Should you have to miss a class and it is beyond your control, please remember that it is your, not your lecturer s responsibility to obtain the information and notes, and to catch up the missed work. Problems Should you feel you have a problem that needs to be addressed, please follow the procedure as outlined in the Departmental study guide: First discuss the matter with your group lecturer. If unresolved, contact the course coordinator (Dr dos Santos). If you are still not satisfied, you are welcome to take the matter up with the Chair of the Department, Dr Catherine du Toit (make an appointment via our secretary, Ms Engelbrecht at or lizellee@sun.ac.za). You can also contact your class representative. Keep this document in the front (white) section of your folder and refer to it throughout the year.
