WELCOME!
ˇBIENVENIDOS!
In
SPAN 201, the main objective is to further develop skills in the four areas of listening,
speaking, reading, and writing in the Spanish language.
Since the class will be conducted almost entirely in Spanish, your
ability to communicate in the language will develop along with your knowledge of
the vocabulary and grammatical structures of the language.
I.
ATTENDANCE.
Attending class everyday is especially important in language classes. Accordingly, I will deduct a point from your total grade for every absence over FOUR (4). Three tardies equal one absence. ALL ABSENCES--NO MATTER IF "EXCUSED" OR NOT--COUNT TOWARD THIS TOTAL.
However, students may make up any exam, quiz, or other assignment if the absence occurs as a result of participation in an official Austin College athletic or other event, a serious illness, or some other unavoidable circumstance beyond the student's control.
There
will be three major exams, according to the following schedule.
THE FINAL EXAM WILL BE COMPREHENSIVE.

A.
ORAL COMPONENT.
(21%).
The
oral component will consist of three presentaciones.
Presentaciones
are one minute
dialogues (with a partner) or
monologues presented to the class.
Each
student will sign up to do 3 presentaciones
during the semester.
Points will be awarded according to the following system:
Presentaciones
(21 possible points 7
pts.----good presentation
4
pt.----acceptable presentation
1
pt.-----less than acceptable
The
oral component is worth 21% of your total grade, and there are 21 possible
points.
B.
WORKBOOK AND INTERNET ASSIGNMENTS (17%).
You will be responsible for completing the workbook and internet assignments as indicated in the course outline and in class. Regarding the workbook, if the assignment ends in the middle of a page, complete the page, but hold on to it until you turn it in with the next assignment. You will receive full credit only after you have completed the assignment, checked your answers with another color of ink, and handed in the assignment on time.
C.
QUIZZES (12%).
I do not believe in pop quizzes, but I am a firm believer in quizzes. We will have several brief quizzes throughout the semester. I will always tell you the day before that we're having a quiz and what it will cover.
D. Participation (5%). In order to receive these points, the student must be pay attention (most of the time) in class and the student must make an attempt to answer if called upon. Mistakes are fine, but you must have a good attitude and put forth effort to earn these participation points.
