Director: Professor Colleen NearySundquist [email protected] SC 172 Textbook (available at campus bookstores and online) https://vistahigherlearning.com/school/purdue online Blanco, José and Philip Redwine Donley. 2017. Panorama. 5th edition. Vista Higher Learning: Boston. ISBN: 978-1-61767-744-1. Here are your options: 1) Textbook (Ch. 1-15) (access code is for 36 months) Loose Leaf Text with Supersite Plus and WebSAM: ISBN: 978-168004-376-1 for $210 2) SPAN 10200 only (Lessons 9-15) (access code is for 12 months) (Volume 2): ISBN: 978-1-68004-396-9 (LL text w/ SSPlus & WebSAM) for $150 Code only option (includes Vtext) for 12 months: ISBN: 978-1-68004385-3 for $115 3) If you get your book from someone else, you will still need an access code. That access code may be purchased at the Vista Higher Learning store, and the ISBN number is 978-1-68004-349-5 for 36 months or 978-1-68004-385-3 for 12 months. Please note that the textbook includes a code that is necessary in order to access all of the online activities. If you get your book somewhere other than the bookstores, please, make sure that you have the correct edition and code by checking the ISBN number. Grading Attendance and class participation (20% of your final grade) Class meets three days a week (M, W, F) in a regular classroom. On Thursdays, a computer lab is reserved for you to do the online activities, but class does not meet EXCEPT for VHL training and for the oral exams (See Schedule below). Note that attendance is calculated as a strict percentage of the number of times you were in class – in other words, every unexcused absence in class counts against your overall semester grade. If you have more than 6 unexcused absences in the class, you will automatically receive an F for the course. Excused absences include family emergencies, illness, or medical complications that are proven by a doctor or a nurse’s signature with the specific date of the absence clearly indicated. This documentation should be presented to your instructor within 7 calendar days of your return to class. However, excusing absences remains the

prerogative of the instructor and the program director: no absences are excused automatically. Student athletes, band members, and other affiliates of similar university organizations might miss class to attend official events. In that case students must, at the beginning of the semester, give their instructors a letter from their supervisor or department indicating the days they will be absent from class during the semester. You will earn your participation grade by attending the three contact days, being wellprepared, arriving on time, and volunteering answers frequently. If you arrive fifteen (15) minutes late, you will not receive your attendance points. In addition, if you are always late, you will also be marked absent.

Exams (50% of your final grade) There will be four written exams (See Schedule below) and one oral exam during the semester (10% each). Under no circumstances will any test be given early. Please, note that the last exam will be given during Finals Week (December 9-December 14). Do not make plans to leave until the university’s final exam schedule is posted. Homework (30% of your final grade, including 5% for pronunciation practice) Your homework for SPAN 105 will be done through online activities that accompany the textbook. Some of this homework will prepare you to understand the upcoming chapter of the textbook and other will help you review the material before the chapter test. Each homework allows three attempts (except the True/False activities and those graded by the instructor), and the last attempt is the one that counts. You must complete all online activities by their due dates in order to receive credit for them. If you don’t, your homework will be penalized 10% for each day it is late; thus, if you earn 100% on an assignment but submit it 3 days late, your final grade on that task will be 70%. Should you have any trouble with your homework, make sure to include screen shots for your instructor. On a PC, you will find the keys on the keyboard (PrtScn). Open MSWord or Paint and paste shot onto the document. On a MAC, hit CommandShift3 at the same time and the screen shot will appear on your desktop. Attach it to an e-mail.

Course Goals We hope that your experience in Spanish 102 will be a positive one. After this course, you will have acquired functional skills in Spanish for most common situations, as well as a better understanding of Hispanic culture. In addition, you will grow more aware of and sensitive to aspects of Hispanic culture around the world. We also hope that during the semester, you will have fun with the language and improve your language-learning strategies since the course is taught entirely in Spanish. Achieving the goals of the course requires regular practice with the language, both in class and individually, and a willingness to experiment with new structures, patterns of sounds, and phrases. In other words, you are responsible for much of your own learning: your continuous participation and regular attendance are vital parts of your commitment to learning and progress. The quality of your language learning will depend largely on the amount and quality of your effort. Please read through the syllabus carefully. Your instructor will provide you with an office and e-mail address where s/he can be reached, as well as office hours when s/he will be available to answer any questions you may have. Do not wait until you have serious academic problems to contact your instructor. Also, starting the first week of the semester, undergraduate tutors will be available free of charge in SC 113. (Schedule on door) Course Policies Changing Levels If you feel that you have been placed in the wrong level, it is your responsibility to contact your instructor as soon as possible. If that is the case, please, save receipts and refrain from writing in your textbooks until the proper level has been determined. Make-ups No make-ups of tests or online activities will be allowed, except in the case of a verifiable serious illness or participation in a Purdue University sponsored event. No incompletes will be given in this course. Academic Honesty versus Cheating According to Purdue University regulations: "Dishonesty in connection with any university activity constitutes misconduct for which students may be subject to administrative action or disciplinary penalties. Cheating, plagiarism, or knowingly furnishing false information to the university are examples of dishonesty." That would include using online translation software to write essays; getting help from a native speaker on homework;

copying and pasting from websites without proper citation in papers; etc… So, with that in mind, students have come up with the following pledge: “As a Boilermaker pursuing academic excellence, I pledge to be honest and true in all that I do. Accountable together—We are Purdue.” Phones and Other Electronic Devices The use of phones or other electronic devices is subject to the instructor’s approval and strictly limited to instruction. Any student seen doing anything else will be asked to leave. Campus emergency and University Policies In the event of a major campus emergency, course requirements, deadlines, and grading percentages will be subject to changes that may be necessitated by a revised semester calendar or other circumstances. If and when this occurs, your instructor will tell you how to proceed with your class.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS LECTURE As we begin this semester, I want to discuss emergency preparedness. Purdue University is a very safe campus and there is a low probability that a serious incident will occur here at Purdue. However, just as we receive a “safety briefing” each time we get on an aircraft, we want to emphasize our emergency procedures for evacuation and shelter in place incidents. Our preparedness will be critical IF an unexpected event occurs. Emergency preparedness is your personal responsibility. Purdue University is actively preparing for natural disasters or human-caused incidents with the ultimate goal of maintaining a safe and secure campus. Let’s review the following procedures: • For any emergency call 911. • There are nearly 300 Emergency Telephone Systems throughout campus that connect directly to the Purdue Police Department (PUPD). If you feel threatened or need help, push the button and you will be connected to the PUPD. • If we hear a fire alarm, we will immediately evacuate the building and gather on the Memorial Mall, south of the main doors, and try to account for anyone who might be missing. ◦ Do not use the elevator. ◦ Our full plan is at http://www.cla.purdue.edu/slc/main/documents/SC-BEP.pdf. • If we are notified of a Shelter in Place requirement for a tornado warning, we will move to the ground floor hallway away from the stairwells and the glass doors near the candy machines. • If we are notified of a Shelter in Place requirement for a hazardous materials release, we will shelter in our classroom shutting any open doors and windows. • If we are notified of a Shelter in Place requirement for a civil disturbance such as a shooting, we will lock the door and dim the lights. If we are in a computer lab that doesn’t lock, we will barricade the door with available furniture or, if time permits, consider moving to a classroom or office that does lock. `

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PROCEDURES EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES are based on a simple concept – if you hear a fire alarm inside, proceed outside. If you hear a siren outside, proceed inside. • Indoor Fire Alarms mean to stop class or research and immediately evacuate the building. Proceed to your Emergency Assembly Area away from building doors. Remain outside until police, fire, or other emergency response

personnel provide additional guidance, or tell you it is safe to leave. • All Hazards Outdoor Emergency Warning Sirens mean to immediately seek shelter (in place.) “Shelter in place” means seeking immediate shelter inside a building or University residence during a tornado, a civil disturbance including a shooting, or release of hazardous materials in the outside air. Remain in place until police, fire, or other emergency response personnel provide additional guidance or tell you it is safe to leave.
