HORARIO PARA LAS ENTREVISTAS FINALES :  This final interview is 1/6 of the final exam (25 points out of a total of 150).  You must show up at my office (or perhaps the Seminar Room next door) at your scheduled time and be prepared to speak solely in Spanish for the full eight minutes.

 TEXTS

Dawson and Dawson.  Dicho y hecho, 5th ed.  New York:  John Wiley & Sons, 1997.  (Textbook and workbook/laboratory manual)

Students will complete the Chapter 8 through Chapter 14 this term.  Please see schedule under “Program.”

ATTENDANCE

Attendance to class is expected and necessary.  Just occupying physical space in class, however, does not constitute attendance.  Daily preparation is essential to both the understanding and accumulation of language skills and in the success of the class.  If you are not prepared, you will be considered “absent” whether or not you are occupying your place in class.  Any absence will be reflected in the attendance portion of your final grade.  More than 3 absences, for whatever reason, is considered excessive and will affect your attendance grade.

GOALS OF COURSE

The goal of this course is to maximize each student’s potential to communicate in Spanish by understanding the language and by speaking, reading, and writing it, while at the same time enhancing cultural awareness.

ACHIEVEMENT OF OBJECTIVES

The method of classroom instruction is intended to supplement the textbook and workbook, which provide students with the answers to most exercises.  Therefore, class time will be dedicated to enhancing the vocabulary and grammatical structures in the text and workbook rather than duplicating in class the student’s efforts completed in private study.

HOMEWORK

Students are expected to do the following:
1.  Read the appropriate pages from Dicho y hecho prior to coming to class.
2.  Do the corresponding Workbook exercises for each section of the chapter.  Correct your work in different color pen using the keys in the back of the WB.  Workbook exercises will always be collected two days before the chapter test.
3.  Do the corresponding computer exercises for each chapter.  You may complete these in the TMC.
4.  Do the corresponding lab exercises, to be collected the day of the chapter exam. Write and correct your answers.

EXAMINATIONS AND QUIZZES

Students will take frequent announced and unannounced quizzes.  The quizzes may be written, oral, or aural.
Chapter exams will be administered just about every eighth class day.  Students may pick up their test from the Romance Languages Secretary or from the Tucker Media Center.  Tests will be available from 11 am the day before the scheduled test date until 5 pm of the scheduled test day.  You must take the test in one sitting.  Tests are not handed out between 12noon and 1 pm.  Class will not be held on test days.
A final examination will be given during the designated period at the end of the term.

COMPOSITIONS

You may use books, dictionaries, etc. in the preparation of your compositions.  You may ask fellow students or me specific questions.  You may not have anyone correct your composition for you.  All compositions should be typed and double-spaced and should include a word count.  No compositions will be accepted late.  Once you have gotten back the first version of your composition, you will have two days to complete a rewrite, if you wish to revise your work for a higher grade.

Compostion Topics:
#1:  Una descripción de un sueño (300-350 palabras) para el 15 de enero / *pretérito e imperfecto
#2:  El viaje de mis sueños (350 palabras) para el 26 de febrero / *presente del subjuntivo
#3:  Tema libre en el pasado (350-400 palabras) para el 22 de marzo / *pasado del subjuntivo

FINAL GRADE

The final grade will be calculated on the following percentages:

15%........attendance, participation, homework
15%........oral and written quizzes
15%........composiciones
25%........chapter exams
30%........final examination
