Course Description and Objectives
The course covers preliminary chapter to chapter 4 of the
textbook. Additional material (ie: CD-ROM, the
text web site, tapes, video, etc.) may be utilized throughout the quarter to
enrich the teaching and learning experience.
This course will develop basic
language skills in Spanish. The emphasis is listening and speaking; basic
reading and writing skills are also introduced. It introduces you to
fundamentals of the Spanish language (grammar, vocabulary, common expressions)
and the Hispanic culture (customs/attitudes/countries).
Equal emphasis is given to the four basic language skills: listening,
speaking, writing, and reading, in which culture plays an intricate role as a
fifth component in order to truly appreciate the target language and its
people.
You are encouraged to develop a genuine interest in Spanish by embracing
its culture. Thus, you are invited to establish connections in and out of
the classroom setting to enrich your new acquired knowledge and foster
understanding of the Hispanic world. The library, Hispanics on campus,
the internet, Spanish TV and radio stations, videos, music, newspapers, etc.,
are great sources to acelerate the learning process.
Syllabus Modification
The course syllabus is subject to change. This includes, but it is
not limited to class schedule, number of exams, exam dates, percentages,
etc. If necessary, the instructor reserves the right to modify the
syllabus. Changes will be announced in class. Students not
attending when changes are announced are responsible for obtaining this
information. If you miss class, you are responsible for obtaining any
missed information from a classmate if you can not reach the instructor through
e-mail. Make friends and study partners with your classmates and exchange
phone numbers and e-mail addresses.
Course Requirement
Attendance. It is
mandatory. THIS CLASS IS FROM 3-510, IF YOU LEAVE EARLY, IT WILL COUNT AS AN ABSENCE. Your instructor
calls roll daily. You are allowed to make only 3 absences (excused or
unexcused) this quarter without jeopardizing your grade. If a
student exceeds this number there will be a reduction of the student
grade. In this class, for each absence beyond three, the grade of your
final average will be reduced (5) percentage points. For example, if your
final average is 84 (B) and you have three absences, your final grade will be
reduced to 79 (C). Every 2 times you come late to class counts as 1
absence. If this is a repeated pattern, every late day (excused or unexcused)
beyond such an event also counts as 1 absence. Moreover, if you come
to class 15 minutes after class starts, it is counted as 1 absence.
Please try to get to the classroom in time. During the course of the
quarter you may incur loss of points due to excessive absences, lack of
participation and cooperation in class, refusal to use the target language,
and/or not bringing the required material to class.
NO MAKE UPS WILL BE GIVEN. NO TESTS, FINAL EXAM,
QUIZZES, HOMEWORK, OR ANY OTHER ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE PROVIDED.
There will be four exams (I will drop the lowest grade from the first four exams given) and the final. The final is comprehensive. It will include the material covered in class from the beginning of the first week of classes, from preliminary chapter to chapter 4 and any additional material. Quizzes may be also given every week. If so, they will be announced. Students not attending when quizzes are announced are responsible for obtaining this information. WORK TURNED IN LATE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
