writing) through selected readings of prose, poetry and drama in Spanish and Spanish-American Literature.

 

2.              To introduce students to the rich and diverse contributions of Hispanic artists  to the fine arts.

 

3.              To introduce students to the special historical and cultural contexts of certain

literary selections.

 

4.              To increase vocabulary knowledge through the selected readings.

 

5.              To foster a positive attitude about the study of the foraign language, literature and culture.

 

Course Evaluation : Your final grade will be determined in the following way and according to this scale:

 

            Compositions, assignments,

preparation and participation...................30%

            Major Tests (3).............................................45%    

Final exam....................................................25%

 

 

Grading  Scale:                   

 

A+  =  97-100       B+  =  87-89          C+  =  77-79               D+  =  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:

http://furman_notes.furman.edu/p&p.nsf>Standard>Search>121.5.

 

 

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.
