Dictionary español-inglés / English-Spanish.
Course goals:
- Improve language skills in Spanish by writing essays, preparing oral
presentations, reading comprehension and group discussions.
- Review basic grammar structures, with an emphasis in the indicate and
subjunctive moods.
CLASS WORK:
Students must do any assignment before coming to class. Homework will be submitted hadwritten, with name and homework details (page,
exercise) clearly stated. When answering homework exercises, make sure that you
have transcribed entire paragraphs and sentences (not only the answers for the
blank spaces).
Details of essays and the partial exams will be given as they
approach. All written work must have a
header containing the student's name, the date, the course number (SPAN202),
and the assignment or title. Written assignments must be typed, double-spaced
(i.e. line spacing = 2), and may be submitted as an attachment to an email (NOT
typed into the body of an email), uploaded to Blackboard or shared with me via
OneDrive in our campus Office365.
Absence does not excuse a student from any work, and
does not automatically extend any deadline.
Extensions of due dates will only be granted by prior arrangement with
the professor.
Class exercises must be typed after class and submitted via Blackboard.
The criteria for grading oral presentations include preparation, correct
use of language and clarity. The oral presentations based on the essays are
expected to include visual aids, such as Power Point or Prezi presentations o
handouts.
The essays will have at least an extension of two (2) pages, double
spaced, Font: Times New Roman 12 pts or equivalent. In every case you should
use additional sources: books, essays, articles in journals, and include a
bibliography. The criteria for grading the essays include clarity and correct
use of language; quality of arguments and correct use of sources; as well as
the creativity and the knowledge of the text interpreted.
Late submissions will get partial or no grade. Absolute deadline for
handing in work: 5pm on Tuesday, December 10.
-Students
must arrive on time and participate actively in each class. Students
anticipating a justified absence should approach the professor beforehand to
arrange to do corresponding assignment. Unexcused absences will result in the
lowering of the final grade.
–All
students are bound in and outside the class by the guidelines set forth in the
Faculty Handbook regarding academic dishonesty. Any assistance received must be
acknowledged with a footnote in the work itself. All cases of unattributed
sources will be considered plagiarism. Cases of copying, lifting, breach of
copyright or inappropriate help will receive a zero and will be referred to the
pertinent campus authorities.
–In
case of difficulty with the course work, students are encouraged to seek the
assistance of a tutor, through CADE.
–Students
are responsible for materials covered on days that they are absent. Late work
will result in lower grades.
–The
use and display of cellphones, and other speaking, texting and/or recording
devices in the classroom is NOT permitted, unless they are required for class
work (i.e.: for consulting dictionary).
–All
students are encouraged to consult with the professor at any time should they
have any questions or concerns. The professor expects all students to contact
him at their earliest convenience should any difficulty arise with any course
requirement.
PARTICIPATION/ATTENDANCE:
Students
must be present at every class meeting. Participation/attendance may be reduced
by poor preparation, excessive absences, disruptive behavior or persistent use
of English in class. Lateness counts as
1/2 an absence. Unexcused absence on the
day of a test or graded in-class assignment will mean a grade of zero for that
work; for excused absences, we will either excuse or reschedule the work.
Students anticipating an absence or conflict of any type should discuss the
matter with me beforehand to arrange in writing an appropriate accommodation,
BUT absences will only be excused with appropriate documentation. Students missing class due to appointments at
the Health Center must authorize the Center to confirm the appointment when I
call them.
ON HELP FROM TUTORS AND NATIVE SPEAKERS:
Students should take every
opportunity to speak Spanish and get help in studying and preparing for
class. But, any work that will receive a
grade must be individual and independent work.
Write out your own ideas in your own words! Any assistance received must be acknowledged
in a footnote on the work itself; information sources must be mentioned in the
body of the assignment as they are used (e.g. "According to xyz, ...").
Computer or automatic translation
programs have gotten quite good these days-- don't use them! One goal of this class is to improve your
language skills, and that can only be done through practice and feedback. Cases of copying, plagiarism or inappropriate
help will receive a grade of zero and will be referred to the relevant campus
authorities.
ON STUDENTS DIAGNOSED WITH A DISABILITY:
All individuals who are diagnosed
with a disability are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
As such, you may be entitled to certain accommodations within this
class. If you are diagnosed with a
disability, please make an appointment to meet with Student Disability Services
(SDS), 209 Alumni Hall, ext. 2137. All
students with the necessary supporting documentation will be provided
appropriate accommodations as determined by the SDS Office. It is entirely your responsibility to contact
SDS and supply me with the accommodation plan that they prepare, which will
inform me exactly what accommodations you are entitled to. You will only receive accommodations once you
provide me with an SDS plan. Any grades
recorded before you provide me with an SDS plan will not be changed.
* * * The professor will assume
that students' continued attendance in this class after receipt of this
syllabus signifies their acceptance of the policies described above. * * *
