GRADING
4 Tests (5 tests given-Chapters 1-5, lowest test grade will be dropped) 40%
Final Exam (Cumulative text chapters 1-6) 10%

*The class participation grade will be assigned according to the following criteria:
Student’s attendance (including punctuality).
Student’s effort, including level of engagement in class and active participation in
group work.
Student’s ability to master Spanish sounds.
Student’s ability to respond to and ask questions in Spanish.
Student’s ability to speak for short periods in Spanish on familiar subjects.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
The best learning environment is one based on mutual respect and trust. However, the desire to achieve a good grade without doing the necessary work may tempt some students to cheat on exams or to represent the work of others as their own. At Salisbury University, plagiarism and cheating are wrong and are considered acts of “academic dishonesty” i.e. a deliberate and deceptive representation of one’s own work.
Instances of academic dishonesty include all, but are not limited to the following:
*** Plagiarism – presenting as one’s own work, whether literally or in paraphrase,
the work of another author
*** Cheating on exams, tests, quizzes; the wrongful giving or accepting of unauthorized
exam materials; the use of illegitimate sources of information
*** Falsifying excuses for non-attendance or completion of assignments
There are NO mitigating circumstances to justify academic dishonesty. If you are unclear about what constitutes academic dishonesty or plagiarism, please ask. Ignorance is no excuse. Discovery of academic dishonesty will bring stiff penalties, including a failing grade for the assignment in question and possibly a grade of F for the course. The maximum penalty at Salisbury University for plagiarism is possible expulsion from the entire USM system, so for your own sake, maintain your academic integrity. Signing off on this syllabus means that you agree to meet these expectations.
MISSED EXAMS/LATE HOMEWORK:
No late homework will be accepted. If you will be absent the day of a written assignment, you will need to arrange for a classmate to deliver it. No e-mailed assignments will be accepted.
Missed exams must be made up the following class or at another time agreed upon by professor and student. Exams not made up in the allotted time will receive a zero. In-class quizzes and listening exercises cannot be made up.
Should a class be cancelled on a test day, students should expect that the missed test will be given the next regularly scheduled class.
ATTENDANCE:
Realizing that circumstances may arise which prevent a student from attending class, including illness, participation in an SU athletic event, family or other unforeseen emergencies, each student will be permitted 3 (three) absences (no questions asked).
Please use these absences wisely!
Each absence above and beyond the third one will lower your final course grade by one grade increment.
Example: 6 ABSENCES: B optimum grade (assuming that the student’s grade is an A+)
9 ABSENCES: C optimum
12 ABSENCES: D optimum
More than 12 absences will automatically result in a failing grade.
Perfect attendance should be the goal. Any tardy--arrival after the class has begun will result in ½ absence.
CULTURAL EVENTS (1):
Salisbury University and the greater community offer a number of opportunities to participate in cultural events related to the Spanish-speaking world. You will be asked to attend one event during the semester and to write a one-page reflection on your experience.
MISCELLANEOUS:
*Please do NOT eat during class.
*Please turn OFF your cell phone during class. It’s only 50 min
