Spanish 2010
Syllabus -- Fall 2008 |
|
Course Description: |
Spanish
2010 is the beginning of the intermediate level of Spanish, which is
designed to provide college students with a more advanced foundation in
the basic skills of speaking, listening, reading, writing and culture.
This class will endeavour to use the basic skills
you learned in the Beginning Spanish courses to achieve a higher level of
communicative effectiveness. The grammar rules you learned in the
elementary classes will be highlighted again, together with new rules. The
grammar, with additional vocabulary, is essential for building the basic
skills for communication. Also, Spanish 2010 will require more reading in
dealing with the Spanish and Latin American cultures. You will find that
reading not only reinforces the other basic skills in learning the
language, but also enhances knowledge of the many societies where Spanish
is spoken. |

Textbook: |
Vistas, Blanco, Dellinger, Donley, Garcia, Vista
Higher Learning, and accompanying Workbook/Laboratory Manual. |
|
Requirements: |
Class attendance is required and essential for the
success of learning Spanish. You should prepare all material assigned for
each class. If being
absent for a class is necessary due to an unforeseen
circumstance, you are still responsible for all work covered. I recommend
that you get a classmate’s phone number to keep up with your class-work
should you have to miss a class.
|
|
Homework: |
The purpose of homework is to help you to learn by
heart the structure of the language. If you rush your homework, you will
hurt your preparation for the exams. Homework must be turned in on the dates
that I establish. Late homework will not be accepted except in case of
absence.
Read the explanations of grammar in the text before you come to class;
it will help you understand explanations given in the class. You must keep
up with the work or your grades will be affected.
|
|
Tests: |
Tests will be given after each chapter is covered. If
you must miss a test, let me know ahead of time so that you can arrange a
time with me to take the tests as soon as possible. I will drop your lowest
test grade.
|
|
Quizzes: |
Quizzes
over new material will be given regularly. They may be announced or
unannounced. If enough quizzes are taken, I will drop 2 or 3 quiz grades.
Missed quizzes cannot be made up.
