Actividades y calificación:

Participación:

- La asistencia y participación activa en clase son imprescindibles. La sola presencia en el salón de clase no supone una buena nota por participación.  Dentro de esta nota se incluyen la adecuada preparación de las lecturas asignadas y las tareas escritas. 

Las ausencias tendrán un efecto en la nota por participación, según el siguiente criterio:  0 ausencias= 100, ausencias injustificadas: -5 c/u. Las llegadas tarde a clase se contabilizarán como 1/2 ausencia. Ausencias en días de exámenes o presentaciones, sin previo acuerdo con el profesor, tendrán una nota de cero (0).  

–Para las presentaciones e informes orales se evaluará la preparación, el correcto uso del idioma y la claridad. En las presentaciones orales basadas en los ensayos, se espera el uso de ayudas visuales (i.e. PowerPoint, hand outs, etc.).

 - Los ensayos tendrán una extensión mínima de tres (3) páginas, a doble espacio, letra Times New Roman de 12 pts, o similar. En todos los casos deben utilizarse fuentes secundarias: libros, ensayos, artículos de revistas. En cada ensayo se evaluará el correcto uso del idioma y la claridad; la correcta manera de argumentar y emplear las fuentes;  así como el conocimiento del texto interpretado. Los materiales tomados de otras fuentes se deben reconocer con el uso de comillas (quotation marks). El uso de fuentes se debe reconocer con Los acentos (tildes) deben hacerse directamente al digitar el texto. No se admitirán acentos escritos a mano.  Faltar a una clase no excusa al estudiante de entregar las tareas y ensayos a tiempo. Ensayos entregados con retraso serán penalizados con un 25%.

Nota: Todo estudiante puede aprovechar la oportunidad de trabajar con amigos y tutores en el mejoramiento de sus habilidades en español. Sin embargo, todo trabajo que vaya a recibir una nota debe ser un trabajo individual e independiente. La ayuda recibida debe reconocerse en nota de pie de página en el trabajo mismo. Los casos de plagio o ayuda inapropiada recibirán una nota de cero (0) y serán remitidos a la autoridad correspondiente.

Exámenes y quizes:

Los exámenes y quizes estarán basados en las lecturas y discusiones en clase. Durante el semestre se harán varios quizes basados en la lectura del día.

 

 

GUIDELINES:

1. Attendance and punctuality. Class participation will be evaluated daily.  The participation grade will be based not only on attendance, but also on the quality of preparation of outside assignments and on the quality of participation during class activities. Regular class attendance is required. Attendance will be taken daily. Students anticipating a justified absence should approach the professor beforehand to arrange to do the corresponding assignment. Nonattendance will only be excused with proper documentation. Students missing class due to appointments at the Health Center must authorize the Center to confirm the appointment to the professor by phone. At the end of the semester, two points will be subtracted from the class participation grade for every unexcused absence. Unexcused absences will result in the lowering of the final grade.

2. A low-anxiety atmosphere suffused with tolerance, trust and mutual respect is essential in a language and culture class. Language and culture courses are a propitious venue for an enriching and unprejudiced exchange of ideas. All students must be respectful of the ideas of others in the class. Eating and/or drinking are not allowed in the classroom.

3. All students are bound in and outside of class by the guidelines set forth in the Faculty Handbook regarding academic dishonesty. Work that will receive a grade must be individual and independent. 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, plagiarism or inappropriate help will receive a zero and will be referred to the pertinent campus authorities.

4. If at any point during the semester a student is asked by the professor to seek the assistance of a tutor, s/he is responsible for approaching CADE in order to request a tutor.

5. Students are responsible for all material covered on days that they are absent. It is the stu­dent's responsibil­ity to complete any work missed due to absence and to arrive in class prepared for that day's assignment. Late work will not be graded. No make-ups are allowed on exams.

6. The use and display of cell phones and any other speaking, listening, texting and/or recording device in the classroom is NOT permitted. Violating this policy will cost the final average of the student 1/2 point per occurrence.

7. 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 (e.g. attendance, participation, assignments, tests, grading, etc).

ADA (AMERICAN WITH DISABILITIES ACT) STATEMENT:

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, a student 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 the responsibility of the student to contact SDS and concurrently supply the professor with an accommodation plan, which will inform the faculty precisely to what accommodations the student is entitled. The student will only receive accommodations once s/he provides the instructor with an SDS accommodation plan. Any previously recorded grades will not be changed.

 

EVACUATION PROCEDURES:

In the event of an emergency evacuation (i.e. fire or other emergency), classes meeting in this building are directed to reassemble at Schumacher Hall - IRC Lobby so that all persons can be accounted for. Complete details of the College's emergency evacuation, shelter-in-place and other emergency procedures can be found at http://www.oneonta.edu/security.
