Notas Your grade is based on the following scale:

91.5-100       A                79.5-81.4    B-             67.5-69.4      D+
89.5-91.4      A-               77.5-79.4    C+            59.5-67.4      D
87.5-89.4      B+              71.5-77.4    C              Below 59.5    F
81.5-87.4      B                 69.5-71.4   C-   

GRADE COMPONENTS:
Class participation:          10%             Quizzes     :         10%         Oral Interview:         10%
Homework incl. MSL:       10%             Compositions (2): 10%         Final exam:             20%
Pronunciation (2):            10%             Exams (2):           20%               

CLASS PARTICIPATION GRADE reflects attendance (and arriving on time), preparation for class, attentiveness, focus, the effort you make to answer questions (in Spanish) and take part in class and group activities, as well as the effort you make to speak Spanish spontaneously. A language course is different from courses in many other disciplines in that class time is used to actively engage in the language. Essentially, what you miss cannot be made up because it is experiential. I pledge to make class time as lively and interesting as possible. I want you to walk into class wondering what we will be doing next.

That said, please arrive on time and come prepared to participate—every day. For each class missed after two absences, three points will be deducted from your participation grade. Three tardies = 1 absence.

HOMEWORK will be assigned daily from the textbook, MSL, or will consist of other activities. Please remember that this is a four-credit hour course. While we will only meet the first Tues afternoon (a regularly scheduled time for this course), the equivalent of that additional hour of class per week will be designated for MSL or other internet activities that can be completed anywhere you have internet access.

The vocabulary, grammar, and cultural concepts that you are assigned to read, study, practice and/or review will make up the core of our class activities the following day. You are responsible for doing all the assigned work so that what we do in class will reinforce your developing language skills. Much of what you will be assigned to complete out of class will be mechanical activities, while in class we will be using the language to communicate in meaningful ways. All homework must be completed/submitted prior to coming to class.

PRONUNCIATION assessments (2) allow me to evaluate specific aspects of your pronunciation and your progress during the term. I am a firm believer that although your vocabulary may be limited and you may not use many of the tenses, if you pronounce well, you will be able to communicate with native speakers in most cases. I will assign two parts of a poem for this purpose (one for each of the two pronunciation tests)—you will not be expected to memorize the poem but you will be expected to read it with feeling, a sense of rhythm, and good intonation and pronunciation. I will post a recorded model for your practice and preparation.  The model sound files, written texts and platform from which you record yourself are assignments in MSL due at 8:00 am on the days indicated for Prueba de pronunciación on your syllabus.

COMPOSITION topics will be announced one week in advance. By the time you submit your first composition, I will have a very good idea of how you write. Please remember that the work must be your own. It is easy to determine if you have “borrowed” material off the internet; it is easy to determine if someone has received special help by asking the student to explain a tense used or the meaning of a sentence or a passage of the composition.

You will have the opportunity to revise your second composition. The acceptable format for each composition is typed, double-spaced, 12pt font, and with any outside sources clearly identified. Grades will be based on appropriateness and richness of vocabulary, grammatical accuracy, content and syntax, and overall organization. 

ORAL INTERVIEWS/EXAMS/ROLE-PLAYS will be scheduled in 10-15 minute blocks during which time I will ask you and your assigned partner to speak with me about a specific topic. I will provide you with all necessary information for this exercise. You will be graded on pronunciation, comprehensibility, fluency and pace, content and syntax, and grammatical competence. 

QUIZZES and EXAMS are based on pages assigned from the text and MSL activities. You will find 2 quizzes announced on the syllabus. These will take about 20-30 minutes. There may also be short, unannounced quizzes on homework at the beginning of class. There are two exams and a cumulative final exam. 

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. Your participation in this course comes with my expectation that your work will be completed in full observance of the Honor Code. In the section titled "Students Rights and Responsibilities," UNC asks that you observe five principles:

Top Five Principles for Students to Live By at Carolina

  1. Honor at Carolina is a tradition that has preceded you by over 125 years – leave it better than when you came.
  2. Do not lie, cheat or steal.
  3. If you have a gut feeling that what you are about to do is wrong – STOP and ask for help or find another solution.
  4. Reporting a violation is not required under the Honor Code, but students are encouraged to hold each other accountable for their actions.
  5. Review the full list of Student Responsibilities in Appendix A of the Instrument. 

EXTRA CREDIT assignments will NOT be made. Keep all returned graded work until you receive your final grade. 


MAKE UPS will not be given for any graded work without a prompt, valid excuse. This includes exams, quizzes, compositions and the pronunciation assessment.
