assignments,
preparation and
participation...................30%
Major
Tests (3).............................................45%
Final exam....................................................25%
Grading Scale:
A+ =
97-100 B+ = 87-89 C+ =

68-69
A = 93-96 B = 83-86 C = 73-76 D = 67
A- = 90-92 B- = 80-82 C- = 70-72 D- = 65-66
F = 0-64
Class
Participation:
As
with all Spanish classes, this is also a language class, with class discussion
and assignments focusing on literary readings and topics of culture and
civilization. Participation means coming to class prepared, ready to speak, contribute,
answer questions and participate in classroom activities and discussions in a
positive way. In class you should
speak only in Spanish.Participation is one of the course requirements
and it is factored into your final grade.
Class
Preparation and Assignments:
For
this course you need to read every night. Students generally are expected to
spend twice as much time outside of class in preparation as they spend in
class. Therefore, you should plan to study at least two to three hours
outside of class to prepare for daily lessons.
You
must complete the reading assignments and vocabulary exercises before the day
they are due so that you are prepared to discuss the contents of the assigned
material in class. You should take notes on your reading, answer the questions
I assigned, and write down any questions you might have and bring them to
class. I will go through some of the questions to verify that you have done
your assignment and that you understand the basic ideas of the reading. The
class participation (see above)
will be based in how prepared you are and your contribution to the small-group
and class discussions
Late
work and absences for tests are not allowed. You will be allowed to make up a
test if you are able to provide a note from the appropriate dean certifying
that your absence was due to serious illness or other reasons that he/she deems
appropriate. Be aware that late work will be subject to significant grade
reduction. After three days, no work will be accepted and a grade of 0 will be
recorded.
Class
Attendance:
It
is the responsibility of each student to come to class regularly; therefore,
attendance is expected during all class meetings. This is essential for you to
succeed in the class. A student who has more than three unexcused absences during the term will have his/her final grade
lowered accordingly. Each
unexcused absence over 3 will cause your final grade to drop by one point.
Three tardies will amount to one absence. Class attendance will also affect your participation and preparation
grade which is 10% of the final grade. It is the responsibility of the student
to present evidence of illness
(a note from the infirmary, for example) or any other type of absence which he
or she believes the instructor may consider "excused." A freshman who
exceeds eight absences or an upperclassman who exceeds fourteen absences for
any reason (excused or unexcused) will be in violation of the maximum
established by the university (see
p. 40 of the 2007-08 Furman Catalog) and will be dropped with a grade of "F"
as well..
If you have any special situation that
will require you to miss several classes you should come to talk to me as soon
as possible so that we can deal with it before the end of the semester. If you miss class, it is your
responsibility to find out
the next assignment and
have it ready; you may wish to
have the telephone numbers of several classmates handy so that you can call
them for information on assignments when you miss class.
Tests:
All
tests will be announced and must be taken on the scheduled day. There will
be no make up for quizzes; major tests can only be taken out of the scheduled
time if student supplies a note from the appropriate Dean certifying an excused
absence.Academic
Integrity:
Integrity
gives the educational enterprise its legitimacy. Honesty, respect, and personal
responsibility are principles that guide academic life at Furman, in and out of
the classroom. Academic misconduct in any form (plagiarism, cheating,
inappropriate collaboration, and other efforts to gain an unfair academic
advantage) threatens the values of the campus community and will have severe
consequences, such as failure in the course, and/or suspension or dismissal
from the university.
If
you have any question about what constitutes plagiarism or any other form of
academic misconsdiuct, it is your responsibility to consult with me so that you
will fully understand what I expect of you in this course. If you have any
doubts, ask! You should also be familiar with the Academic Integrity &
Plagiarism and Academic
Integrity at Furman materials available at www.furman.edu>academics>academic integrity information. FurmanÕs policy on
academic dishonesty can be found at:

Students
with Disabilities:
Students
with disabilities who need academic accommodations should contact Gina Parris,
Director of Disabilities Services Office (Phone: 294 2322), in the basement of
the Earle Infirmary. After having
a conference with her, contact me during my office hours. You need to do
this early in the term.
Tutoring:
Furman
provides cost-free tutoring for students who request it. If you need a tutor,
see Barbara Foltz in the Office of Academic Assistance (Phone: 294 2110) on the
ground floor of the Duke Library.
