Elementary Spanish 1002
Dr. Vicki McCard
Summer 2008

Texts: Puntos de partida, 7th ed., Knorre, Dorwick, et. al.
Online Laboratory Manual
Supplementary Materials
to accompany Puntos de partida.

Course Description:
The prerequisite is Spanish 1001, placement, or permission from the department.
This is an elementary course with emphasis on developing listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
Classroom instruction is conducted in Spanish and consists primarily of oral and listening activities that
put into practice vocabulary and grammatical structures. Lab attendance is required to complete recorded
activities. Assessment instruments include short written quizzes, compositions, homework, lab and supplementary materials exercises,
recorded dialogues, and oral and written final exams.

Course objectives:
Oral proficiency will be promoted from the outset through the use of Spanish in class and the language lab.
The student must demonstrate in class and lab activities, simple conversations, and the oral exam an ability
to apply the vocabulary and grammar studied.

The student must demonstrate in compositions and other written activities an ability to apply the
 basic vocabulary, grammatical structures and communicative goals introduced in
chapters 7-14 of Puntos
, including (but not limited to) direct and indirect object pronouns;
the present indicative, preterite and imperfect tenses; the present and present perfect subjunctive;
and the present perfect indicative.

Awareness and sensitivity to Hispanic culture will be promoted through
the reading and discussion of dialogues, paragraphs and short essays
that introduce cultural elements.

Daily homework assignments are posted on my faculty web-page (linked to the NGCSU Home Page)

.

If a student's absences exceed two, s/he will be dropped from the class with a WF.
Two tardies or two days of partial attendance are equal to one absence.

Please turn off cell phones before entering the classroom.

Please do not leave and return during class.  Each class will include a 15 minute break.

Please bring textbook and Supplementary Materials to class each day.  Failure to do so will lower daily grade.

Because of its shortened format (6 weeks instead of 13), students must be prepared to study for this course
many more hours daily (much more intensively) than during a normal semester. If your school/work/family
schedule doesn't allow you several hours a day of study time, please consider taking SPAN 1002
during the normal school year instead of the summer.

The student is responsible for reading and following the guidelines of the Academic Integrity Policy
(2006-2008 Undergraduate Bulletin, p. 81-83). Violations of this policy will result in a zero for
the assignment in question and the possibility of additional disciplinary action at the institutional level.
