lessons 1 - 48.</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>There are 48 quizzes and 48 answer keys.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Each quiz is divided into 4 sections. These are:</p></li></ol></div><p>A. This section consists of questions which are to be answered orally. It is recommended
that each answer be given in as complete a manner as possible, in order to practice the
target language as much as optimally feasible. On the other hand the recommendation is not
intended to convey the idea that the student learns the text by heart, but rather that he
supplies answers that make contextual sense. The instructor as well as the student, must
use commonsense in the evaluation of answers as these are given in the answer key, as the
latter will give merely one"correct" answer, when in fact more than one answer may be
correct.</p><p>B. The structural exercises test the students' mastery of the structures that were
introduced in each respective lesson. Here too the instructor should eschew rigidity and
give the student the benefit of doubt.</p><p>C. & D. Translations: In either case, that is, Russian to</p><p>English as well as English to Russian, care should be taken that translations don't
become too free, that is to say, literal translations are not only acceptable, but are
actually preferred.</p><p>The translations are meant to test knowledge of disparate vocabulary items in a
meaningful configuration, they are not exercises in stylistic-aesthetic niceties. Thus it
is recommended, that students consider every word of text under consideration to carry
equal weight. Redundancies or unnecessary fillers may be eliminated at a later date,
preferably when the instructor discusses the test material after the quiz has been
administered.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="index.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"> </td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="co01.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">RUSSIAN SPECIAL FORCES FUNCTIONAL PROGRAM </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Colophon</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
