Course Description and Objectives

The course covers Lecciones 5-8 .  Additional audio and visual material is utilized to support the texts (see above). The course is designed to reinforce (review) and expand the vocabulary and the grammatical concepts already acquired in Beginning Spanish.  Students have ample opportunity to practice the four basic skills involved in language acquisition: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.  The course exposes students to real-life situations that easily simulate and relate to their own daily lives.  In addition, students can foster their knowledge of the Hispanic culture and the geography of the Spanish-speaking countries.

 

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. The instructor reserves the right to modify the syllabus if necessary.  Changes will be announced in class.  Students not attending when changes are announced are responsible for obtaining this information.

 

Course Requirements:

Attendance.     It is mandatory.  Your instructor calls roaster daily. ALL STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO COME ON TIME. THIS CLASS IS FROM 5:30-7:40. THE CLASS ENDS AT 7:40 AND STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO STAY UNTIL THE END OF THE CLASS.  You are allowed to make only 3 absences (EXCUSED OR UNEXCUSED) per 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) 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 3 times you come late (EXCUSED OR UNEXCUSED) to class counts as 1 absence.  If this is a repeated pattern, every late day beyond such an event also counts as 1 absence.  Moreover, if you come to the class after 15 minutes since class started, 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/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 until the last week of classes 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 TURN IN LATE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
