| Objetivo del curso: Spanish 101-102-103 is a three-term sequence that presents the essential structure of the Spanish language and basic vocabulary in a four-skill approach: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. the same texts are used in all three courses; approximately one-third of the material will be covered this term. Your goal is correct self expression in Spanish as well as understanding of both written and spoken Spanish and a nascent understanding of the Hispanic culture. There will be daily quizzes plus two written exams and one oral final exam. There will be no make-up quizzes unless you have an official medical excuse; however, the lowest quiz grade will be dropped.There will be three short compositions written on themes that reinforce the grammar points being studied in class. They should be typewritten (double spaced) or handwritten in blue or black ink and written on every other line. Students are responsible for correcting these compositions after they have been graded by the professor. You should plan to spend approximately 3-4 hours daily on your homework assignments, which will include reading over the chapter--paying particular attention to the grammatical explanations and exercises--, writing the exercises in the workbook that correspond to the chapter we have covered in class that day, doing the CAN-8 exercises (accessible in the College Hall Humanities Lab), and listening to the oral exercises and doing the computer activities located at the Online Learning Center Website (www.mhhe.com/quetal7). The Workbook/Lab Manual has the answers in the back. Please check your own work after you have completed the exercises. We will not go over the exercises in class unless you have questions; however, quiz questions will be chosen from the homework exercises. | |||
