Repaso para el examen final que es la semana próxima Examen Final
Attendance Policy: Your attendance and active participation in classroom activities is an integral part of a successful experience in this course. Therefore, if you are not in class, you can’t participate. After 3 absences, your total grade will go down half a point for each absence you obtain. After 6 absences, justified or not, the student automatically fails the class. Grade Distribution: Quizzes--15% Compositions---15% Mid-Term--20% Final--20% Instructor Evaluation—30% (Attendance 5, Homework 5, Connect 5, Lab 5, Participation 10) Grading Scale: A+ A AB+ B BC+ C CD+ D DF
97 suggested, although left to individual instructor's discretion, as the registrar will NOT record an A+. . 93-96.9 (if you use the 97% A+) 90-92.9 87-89.9 83-86.9 80-82.9 77-79.9 73-76.9 70-72.9 67-69.9 63-66.9 60-62.9 Below 60
Course Overview: Spanish 1020 is a second-semester course, and carries a prerequisite of Span 1010 (first semester, first year) or its equivalent. If 1010 was completed at CU-Denver, a minimum grade of C (2.0) in that course is also a prerequisite to 1020. Span 1020 is the second of a 2-course sequence, which fulfills the foreign language requirement in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at UCD. Each of the two courses in this sequence (Span 1010, Span 1020) must be completed with a C (2.0) or better to fulfill the language requirement. Spanish 1020 is designed to continue the mastery of the basic grammar of Spanish, provide essential vocabulary, and familiarize the student with the cultures of the Spanish-speaking world. The course requires daily study, as the grammatical and vocabulary concepts build on one another. Time in class and homework will focus on four areas: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. The exams will include portions, which measure the mastery of each of these areas, except for speaking, which is examined in the participation component of the grade, as well as in any oral homework exercises. *Also, NO incompletes will be given for low grades. Department of Modern Languages policy: A student may not enroll in a lower-division course that is below his/her level of language proficiency. Students wishing to enroll in a lower-division course that does not directly follow their last completed course in the regular sequence must consult with an appropriate faculty member of the Department of Modern Languages prior to enrollment. Students who have achieved some proficiency in a foreign language through means other than academic courses, must also consult with an appropriate faculty member of the Department of Modern Languages prior to enrollment. Please call 303-556-4893 for further information.
Homework: Learning a foreign language is more than memorizing grammar rules and vocabulary. Your goal is to actually understand and use the language for communication, and this like any skill, requires a great deal of practice. Therefore, students must prepare and
complete on time all assignments. You are responsible for all material listed on the syllabus. You will be assigned compositions based on topics from the main text. **NO late homework will be accepted, as well as No make ups are given, so make sure that you are going to be present for the quizzes and the exams. Language Lab: Every student has to go to the lab every week and watch the soap opera “Destinos”, do the Internet research, do The Language Troubleshooter, or do the Lab Workbook exercises for your lab credit. The Destinos material will count as extra credit in the tests. I also have a web page with links to different countries and different things dealing with Spanish. It could help you practice your Spanish and you could see real life uses of it. At the end of every week, Thursdays, you will turn in the homework from the research you did in the lab from my web page. It will be at least one paragraph long, double space, and of course in SPANISH. Web Page Address: http://clasfaculty.ucdenver.edu/igross E-Mail Address:

Fall 2013 CLAS Academic Policies The following policies pertain to all degree students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS). Schedule verification: It is each student’s responsibility to verify online that his/her official registration is correct: verify before classes begin and prior to the drop/add deadline. Failure to verify schedule accuracy is not sufficient reason to justify a late add or drop. E-mail: Students must activate and regularly check their official student email account for CU Denver business: http://www.ucdenver.edu/studentservices/Pages/WebMail.aspx. Those who forward email must check CU Denver e-mail regularly for messages not automatically forwarded.
Waitlists: Students are not automatically notified if they are added to a class from a waitlist. Students are not automatically dropped from a class if they never attended, stopped attending, or do not make tuition payments. Waitlists are purged after the 1st week of classes, after which a paper Schedule Adjustment Form (SAF or drop/add form) is required. It is the student's responsibility to get the form (online or at the Advising Office, NC 4002), have it signed, deliver it to the Registrar (Annex 100) or the
Student Services Center (NC 1003), and verify her/his schedule online. Late adds (after 4 September) will be approved only when circumstances surrounding the late add are beyond the student’s control. This will require a written petition and verifiable documentation. Petition forms are available in NC 4002. The signature of a faculty member on a SAF does not guarantee that a late add petition will be approved. Late drops (after 29 October) will be approved only when circumstances surrounding the late drop have arisen after the published drop deadline and are beyond the student’s control. This will require a written petition and verifiable documentation. The signature of a faculty member does not guarantee that a late drop petition will be approved. Tuition: Students are responsible for completing arrangements with financial aid, family, scholarships, etc. to pay their tuition prior to Census Date (4 September). Students who drop after that date are (1) financially responsible for tuition and fees, (2) academically responsible and will receive a "W" grade, and (3) are ineligible for a refund of COF hours or tuition. Graduation: Undergraduate students wishing to graduate in Fall 2013 must complete the online Intent to Graduate Form, in the UCD Access Portal, and meet with their academic advisor to obtain a graduation application. This application must be submitted by Census Date (4 September). You can obtain an application only after meeting with your advisor. There are no exceptions to this policy. Graduate students wishing to graduate in Fall semester 2013 must complete the online Intent to Graduate form, in the UCD Access Portal, and have a Request for Admissions to Candidacy on file with the CU Denver Graduate School (LSC 1251) no later than 5 PM, September 4, 2013.
