Welcome to SPAN 2002! In this course you continue to develop the four basic language skills of
speaking, listening, reading, and writing. You will use these skills to expand your knowledge of
the cultures of the Spanish-speaking peoples of the world. Moreover, the emphasis of this course
is on spoken and written communication. This is the second part of a two-semester Intermediate
Spanish course sequence.
1
Catalog Description: Grammar review and continued development of the student's reading,
conversation and composition skills, with readings of a more difficult nature than those
previously encountered by the student. Open to native speakers of Spanish only by permission of
the Department of Humanities. Otherwise, native speakers must withdraw from this course.
Computer Requirement: Each CSU student is required to have ready access throughout
the semester to a notebook computer that meets faculty-approved hardware and software
requirements for the student's academic program. Students will sign a statement attesting
to such access. For further information on CSU's Official Notebook Computer Policy,
please go to http://www.clayton.edu/hub/itpchoice/notebookcomputerpolicy.
GeorgiaVIEW Desire2Learn (Online Classroom):
On-line activity will take place in Desire2Learn, the virtual classroom for the course. You
can gain access to Desire2Learn by signing on to the SWAN portal and selecting
“GaVIEW” on the top right side. If you experience any difficulties in Desire2Learn,
please email or call THE HUB at TheHub@mail.clayton.edu or (678) 466-HELP.
Course Objectives:
By the end of the semester you will be able to communicate using basic Spanish for:
- greeting people and exchanging some polite questions and answers, exchanging phone numbers,
talking about days and dates, etc;
- using simple vocabulary related to the classroom;
- talking about family;
- discussing typical activities related to traveling in a foreign country, including making hotel
reservations, travel arrangements, getting around;
- talking about hobbies and sports.
Course Objectives:
By the end of the semester you will be able to communicate using basic Spanish for:
- discussing the importance of caring for the environment;
- basic transactions at banks and the post office;
- discussing different exercise routines;
- answering basic job interview questions.
The Department of Humanities’ Goal:
The exchange of ideas is the basis of all societies. Each culture has its own form of expressing
thoughts. Communication is the act or process of transmitting information about ideas, attitudes,
emotions, or objective behavior through a common system of signs, symbols, or conduct.
According to the Communicative Approach, the emphasis on communication ensures that second
language learners will be able to exchange their thoughts in a way that is comprehensible to the
educated native speaker. Our emphasis on written communication is because we believe that a
strong lexical and syntactical foundation is the basis for all communication exchange at a level
expected from students at the higher education level. Therefore our expectation is that upon
completion of the exit courses of their foreign language sequence, students will be able to
produce short, comprehensible written pieces of increasing complexity based on the course and
content presented at each level. It is our goal that each student will be at the 70th percentile or
above in the areas of language (syntax) and vocabulary (lexicon) on a written composition.

the tables):
http://a-s.clayton.edu/campbell/outcomes/core/corecommunicationsoutcomesareacmaster.htm
Class Format: SPANISH 2002 meets three hours a week. The format of this class is based on the
premise that the best way to learn another language is through repeated, meaningful exposure to
the language as well as for opportunities to interact with others. For this reason, class time will be
dedicated to communicating in Spanish using structures and vocabulary that you have practiced
3
by doing your homework prior to class. Please note that this is a university setting. As a result,
formal, academic Spanish is most appropriate in this particular context.
Course Policies
General Policy: Students must abide by policies in the Clayton State University Student
Handbook, and the Basic Undergraduate Student Responsibilities.
University Attendance Policy: In order to meet the course goals and objectives, you must attend
and actively participate in class. Participation is an important component of your final grade. You
are expected to participate consistently and audibly in all class activities. Students who do so with
good grace and visible commitment will receive high grades for participation. Please note
Clayton State’s official policy regarding attendance:
“Students are expected to attend and participate in every class meeting. Instructors establish specific
policies relating to absences in their courses and communicate these policies to the students through the
course syllabi. Individual instructors, based upon the nature of the course, determine what effect excused
and unexcused absences have in determining grades and upon students’ ability to remain enrolled in their
courses. The university reserves the right to determine that excessive absences, whether justified or not, are
sufficient cause for institutional withdrawals or failing grades.”
You will be allowed a total of five (5) unexcused absences. Starting with the 6th absence, you will
lose 3 percentage points from your final grade for each additional unexcused absence. Note that
habitually arriving late and/or leaving early will result in a lowering of your final grade. Each day
your instructor will make a mark in his grade book regarding your participation and will assign
you a daily grade. If you miss a class, no participation points can be awarded for that day. There
is NO make-up for participation points. Daily participation will be graded according to the
following scale:
SUPERIOR: (2 points) Used Spanish consistently in class with professor and peers; was
listening attentively when others spoke; showed respect and displayed a positive attitude toward
professor, peers, and subject; actively participated in all activities; came to class prepared.
AVERAGE: (1 point) Used Spanish sufficiently in class with professor and peers; got somewhat
distracted, not always listened attentively when others spoke; showed some respect and an
agreeable attitude; showed some interest in class activities and discussions, passively participated
in activities speaking when called upon; came to class somewhat prepared.
UNSATISFACTORY: (0 points) Poor attitude; did not pay active attention during class (i.e.,
sleeping, reading newspaper, talking about unrelated subjects, surfing online); unprepared for
class by either doing work assigned or did not bring the proper materials for class; used English,
did not respond when called upon; inconsiderate of others (interrupts class, cell phone, etc.);
absent.
Assessment of Student Learning:
Exams (4, 100 pts each), Group Quizzes, Composition (25 pts each), Homework (20 pts each
lesson), Oral Exam (50 pts), and Websam: 80%
Active Participation/Attendance: 10%
Final Exam: 10%
TOTAL: 100%

Grading Scale:
A
100-90%

59-0%
Exams: Students will have the opportunity to demonstrate their ability and progress in the
language on each exam. The skills areas of listening, reading, and writing will be tested on each
exam along with grammar. The exam begins at the start of class time.
Quizzes: Quizzes will be given on a regular basis. They may or may not be announced. The
format of each quiz may vary. The information on the quizzes will range from prior information
in the course to information from the homework due that day. You will be excused from missing
one group quiz; if you miss more than that, regardless of the excuse, you will receive a 0 (zero).
The quizzes are generally only worth 10 – 15 points. There are NO make-ups for quizzes if you
arrive late and the quiz has already been given.
Make-ups: No makeup exams are permitted unless your professor has approved the makeup and
the student can provide a verifiable documented excuse for the absence. Missed assignments are
to be made up as soon as possible. Make-up tests will not be the same tests taken by the class;
they will be more difficult in an effort to dissuade students from missing exams. Class work/
participation cannot be made up. If a makeup exam is granted, each student is allowed ONLY
ONE makeup. If any other exams are missed, the student will receive a 0 (zero), regardless of the
excuse.
Homework/Class Preparation and Participation/Assignments: You are responsible for all
material covered in class on days that you are absent. It is also your responsibility to be aware
of changes made regarding the syllabus. Having missed the previous class is not an excuse to
come to class unprepared.
Most grammar is studied before and outside of class so you come to class prepared to practice
it. Written practice activities are to be completed before the class meets on a separate sheet of
paper in case the professor collects it. These assignments are to be prepared for the day that
they appear on the syllabus, prior to coming to class. Each lesson’s homework assignments, all
indicated on the syllabus, will be handed in the date of the corresponding exam. Each chapter’s
homework will be worth 20 pts; homework points (5) will be deducted if the homework is
handed in after the date of the exam.
Final Exam: The final exam, worth 10% of your final grade, will be comprehensive.
ALL students, regardless of their average, MUST take the final exam. No exceptions! If
you do not take the final exam, you will receive a ZERO (0). The final exam will be taken during
the final exam period, in the classroom, closed books and notes. The usage of any electronic
device is prohibited.
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Mid-term Progress Report: The mid-term grade in this course, which will be issued on
October 7, reflects approximately 30% of the entire course grade. Based on this grade,
students may choose to withdraw from the course and receive a grade of "W." Students
pursuing this option must fill out an official withdrawal form, available in the Office of
the Registrar, or withdraw on-line using the Swan by mid-term, which occurs on October
7. Instructions for withdrawing are provided at this link.
The last day to withdraw without academic accountability is Friday, October 10, 2014.
5
Academic Dishonesty: Any type of activity that is considered dishonest by reasonable standards
may constitute academic misconduct. The most common forms of academic misconduct are
cheating and plagiarism All instances of academic dishonesty will result in a grade of zero for the
work involved. All instances of academic dishonesty will be reported to the Office of Student
Life/Judicial Affairs. Judicial procedures are described beginning on page 14 of the Student
Handbook (Procedures for Adjudicating Alleged Academic Conduct Infractions
Disruption of the Learning Environment: Behavior which disrupts the teaching–learning
process during class activities will not be tolerated. While a variety of behaviors can be
disruptive in a classroom setting, more serious examples include belligerent, abusive, profane,
and/or threatening behavior. A student who fails to respond to reasonable faculty direction
regarding classroom behavior and/or behavior while participating in classroom activities may be
dismissed from class. A student who is dismissed is entitled to due process and will be afforded
such rights as soon as possible following dismissal. If found in violation, a student may be
administratively withdrawn and may receive a grade of WF.
A more detailed description of examples of disruptive behavior and appeal procedures is provided
at:
http://www.clayton.edu/Portals/5/DisruptiveClassroomBehavior.pdf
In-class Use of Student Notebook Computers: Student notebook computers will not be used in
the classroom in this course. Computers will be required to access course materials and to
communicate with your instructor. All required Websam activities will be completed outside the
classroom.
Children/Visitors: Please note that, according to official Clayton State University
policy, you are not permitted to bring children or visitors to class. Only students listed on
the class roster are permitted to attend class.
Email etiquette
• You are expected to write as you would in any professional correspondence. Email
communication should be courteous and respectful in manner and tone. Also, formal,
grammatically correct English should be employed in all emails; please do not write in
the form of “text messaging.”
• Do not expect an immediate response via email (normally, a response will be sent as
soon as possible). If your email question is sent at the last minute it may not be possible
to send you a response before an assignment is due or a test is given.
***DISCLAIMER
A syllabus is not a contract. The instructor reserves the right to alter the course requirements, the
syllabus, and/or assignments based on new materials, class discussions, or other legitimate
pedagogical objectives. Any changes will be discussed with the class. Students who miss the day
changes are discussed are responsible for getting the notification from other students in that class.

General Rules:
- You may work by yourself or with another classmate.
9
- Each person will speak for approximately three minutes..
- You may do a power point presentation if you wish.
TOPICS:
**You may make up your own topic, but here are some ideas: (*if you work with a
classmate, you could do your skit in the form of an interview/dialogue.)
(1) Pretend you are interviewing one of the singers whose music we listened to:
Shakira/Juanes/Franco DeVita/Los Kjarkas/Sergio Vargas.
(2) Dramatize a typical day between you and your child(ren)/partner/best friend
mentioning things you want him/her to do using examples of the present subjunctive.
Or, pretend you have a romantic evening planned with your love interest; what do you
hope/want her/him to do this evening to make it unforgettably romantic? (subjunctive)
(3) Compare your current car/partner/house to the one of your dreams, contrasting the use
of the indicative with that of the subjunctive. (Lesson 14)
(4) You are trying to defend your significant other to your friend who feels s/he hasn’t
done a lot for you lately. What has he/she done for you lately? What do you tell him/her?
(present perfect, Lesson 15)
(5) What will your life be like in the future? If you work with a classmate, you could
predict what each other’s lives will be like in the future. You may also talk about the
resolutions that you plan to have done by the end of the year (future perfect here)
(6) What did your mother want you to do when you were little? What did you want your
mother do? Etc (using the imperfect subjunctive)
GRADE:
Your grade will be based on the following criterion: 1) Did you read too much? 2) Did you use grammar
points (the ones in covered this semester) correctly most of the time? 3) Would an educated native speaker
(who doesn’t speak English) comprehend overall what was said?
