COURSE DESCRIPTION:

SPANISH 202 is designed to continue where Spanish 201 left off. The main focus of the class is on listening and speaking with more emphasis on speaking than before. Yourparticipation in all activities is crucial to your success. Much of the class will be conducted in Spanish.

ABSOLUTELY NO CELL PHONE USE in class. If you are waiting for an urgent call, put the phone on vibrate and take the call outside of the classroom.

NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES in class. Take notes on paper and transfer them to your laptop or tablet after class.

For a more complete explanation of the expected outcomes for this class, see the Outcomes page of the COCC Foreign Languages web site.

EVALUATION:

Evaluation will be based on homework and tests (see below). Online workbook (iLrn) activities will be assigned regularly and reviewed in class occasionally.

Class time will be used to practice speaking and listening to Spanish. You will be expected to read the grammar (Orange Pages scattered throughout each chapter) on your own. You will be responsible for knowing ALL the material in the book EVEN IF IT IS NOT covered in class. This will prepare you to do well on your chapter tests.

GRADES (subject to adjustments):

     300 - Vocabulary Tests: The last two pages of each chapter (100 points each)
     300 - Chapter Tests: (1 per chapter @ 100 points each)
     300 - Assigned Homework: (100 points per chapter)

          A   = 92 - 100%
          A- = 90 - 91%
          B   = 82 - 87%
          B+ = 88 - 89%
          B- = 80 - 81%
          C = 70 - 77%
          C+ = 78 - 79%
          D = 60 - 69%
          F   = 0 - 59%

There will be NO MAKEUP TESTS! However, to accommodate an emergency, the lowest score (OTHER THAN THE FINAL) will be substituted with your Attendance/Participation score.

All you have to do for your Attendance/Participation score is...

...show up ON TIME every day.
...NOT LEAVE EARLY.
...NOT LOOK AT YOUR CELL PHONE or LAPTOP during class.
...NOT FALL ASLEEP in class.
...PARTICIPATE in all class activities.

If you do all that, then you will probably get a 100 point score. Otherwise, you probably wont.
