Course Overview:
SPANISH 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 & 1020) must be completed with a C or better to fulfill the language requirement.
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 other means 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.
Objectives:
To build basic competency in speaking, reading, listening and writing; to develop a broad knowledge of
Hispanic culture. Chapter objectives include describing physical and personality traits; expressing
likes and dislikes; describing physical, emotional, mental, and other states and conditions; describing routines
and customary activities in the present and the past; talking about future plans. Listening and speaking practice
in class, along with some CDs, will assist the development of your speaking and listening skills.
Our approach will be largely communicative; that is, we will speak only Spanish in the classroom and class
time will be devoted to improving communication skills.

Homework:

Therefore, students must prepare and complete on time all assignments. You are responsible for all material listed on the syllabus.
**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:
The language lab is open to all UCD modern language students. You need your student ID. The lab has many tutorial programs and media materials that can help you. Please visit. It is located in Plaza 115.
