Absences:
After the THREE unexcused absence during the semester, 1 percentage point will be subtracted from the student's final
participation grade for each additional absence. Attendance will be taken daily. If you are absent, it is your responsibility
to find out what you missed so that you come prepared on the day that you do return to class. If your absence is excused,
you must inform your instructor immediately upon return and bring appropriate documentation to prove it.
Participation grade/Homework Grade: (10%)
Your participation grade reflects your preparation and active participation in class. Please study the pages assigned for the
day before you come to class so that you will be able to answer questions and participate in all activities. Active
participation means always speaking Spanish in the classroom, contributing significantly to group work, and volunteering
as much as possible without dominating the class.
Online homework:
This course has an online component. It is worth 15% of the grade. The syllabus provides the exercises that the student
will complete each day. All exercises are due by 11:59 PM on the day that they are assigned. www.myspanishlab.com.
Exams:
There will be TWO 1 hour exams and a final that will cover all of the material studied over the semester.
Compositions:
The TWO compositions will be completed at home (after you receive the first DRAFT back from your instructor) and
turned in on the dates indicated on your syllabus [ Students will receive further instructions from their instructor ]. The
compositions have to be between 200 and 250 words, typed and double-spaced. Please indicate the exact word count at
the end of the composition.
See important information below on compositions and possible honor code violations.
Oral Practices Online:
There are SIX activities online where you will practice your pronunciation and oral skills individually. You will record
said activities online in MySpanishLab. They are already programs in Myspanishlab.com. They are due on the following
dates:
September 18thSAM 3.06 Mi casa ideal
September 25thSAM 4.10 Y tu pueblo o tu ciudad?
October 16thSAM 7.06 Tus comidas favoritas
October 27thSAM 8.13 La pgina web de Zara
Nov. 6th SAM 9.21 Remedios caseros
Nov. 20th SAM 10.27 Las vacaciones
Ackland Museum interview:
The topics for the oral exam will be discussed in class approximately a week before they are due so that you have time to
prepare.
Quizzes:
Announced quizzes are based on the pages assigned for the day. The quizzes will vary in format (fill-in-the-blank,
multiple choice, short answer, listening comprehension, etc.) and may test grammar, content of a written or an oral
passage, or any material covered in class. You can expect to have approximately 7 quizzes throughout the semester.
Graded Homeworks:
Several times your instructor will announce a graded homework due for the next class, or may choose to pick up
homework unannounced. These assignments are typically open-ended writing tasks. You are cautioned that although you
may use texts and dictionaries, the work must be your own.
Late work:
No late work can be accepted for a grade nor can exams be taken late unless officially excused.
Extra credit:
No extra credit assignments will be given in Spanish 105.
Honor code:
Academic dishonesty in any form is unacceptable, because any breach in academic integrity, however small, strikes
destructively at the University's life and work. Any form of cheating on quizzes or exams is in violation of the honor code;
and, all quizzes and exams should contain the written pledge and your signature: "I have neither given nor received
unauthorized aid on this exam." Students may not work together or seek any help on homework assignments. You cannot
copy anything from the textbook without being in violation of the honor code. Also, you must write your own
compositions, composition outlines, and homework assignments without help from friends, tutors, native speakers, or
anyone else. It is in violation of the honor code for your compositions, composition outlines, or any portion of your
compositions and composition outlines, to be written by another person. It is also in violation of the honor code to copy,
translate, paraphrase or transcribe your compositions, composition outlines, or paragraph or any portion of your
compositions, composition outlines, or homework assignments from any source. If you have questions pertaining to what
constitutes an honor violation in this course, please contact your instructor or the course coordinator at
[e-mail].
Final Grades will be determined according to the following scale:
A
91.5+ = A
89.5-91.49 = A-
B
87.5-89.49 = B+
81.5-87.49 = B
