5 Plus-Minus grading will be used in this course. Further information will be given out in class the first week and posted on Blackboard. Writing: Over the course of the semester students will have the opportunity to develop their writing skills through a number of activities: two short (3 page) papers written at home and two in-class writing assignments. Homework assignments will also give students a chance to write, although some of the homework will be more objective in nature. I will distribute more information about the papers and the in-class writing later in the semester. Exams: There will be three one-hour exams during the semester, approximately one every five weeks. They will consist of brief identifications, short answers, and brief essays. Correct content will be my major concern when grading the exams. Homework: Students are also responsible for turning in regular homework assignments. These assignments will be posted on Blackboard. Homework assignments are due in class on the dates indicated on the syllabus. Attendance: Attendance will be taken at each class meeting. Students are expected to come to class, to be prepared, and to participate in the discussion. The attendance grade is the percentage of classes attended. Use of Spanish or Aquí se habla español: The tests, writing assignments and homework are to be written in Spanish. The class will be conducted primarily in Spanish and class discussions will provide an opportunity for students to practice their spoken Spanish. Blackboard and I will be using Blackboard to post announcements, reading guides, homework, and other class materials. You should check Blackboard and at least once a day, especially if you miss class. Academic Dishonesty: Cheating, plagiarism, turning in someone else s work as your own are serious offenses and will result in a grade of zero for the assignment in question. Make-Up and Extension Policy: If you cannot make it to class the day of a test or the day an assignment is due and have a valid reason (for example, illness, family emergency, religious holiday) then you may take a make-up or receive an extension. Please call my office ( ) or send me an as soon as you realize you will not be able to come to class. Students with Disabilities: For students with disabilities, I am available to discuss any appropriate academic accommodations that might be necessary for this course. Before course accommodations are made, a student may be required to provide documentation to the Office of the Dean of Students--Services for Students with Disabilities.
