COURSE REQUIREMENT TEXT: Elizabeth E. Guzmán, Paloma E Lapuerta, and Judith E. Liskin-Gasparro, UNIDOS Classroom Manual. First edition. Pearson. v The ISBN for the Classroom Manual + MySpanishLab access is 0205954545 MySpanishLab is mandatory. Students must have access to My Spanish Lab by the first week of classes, otherwise the student will not be able to complete the assignment portion of the course and 25% will be deducted from the final grade. SPN 112 Course is ONLY offered for those students who meet the following criteria: Took the Regents exam in High School and scored between 75-84 Took the AVANT Placement test and scored more than 74 Took SPN 111 Course or a similar level course. IMPORTANT REMARKS: This course is not for students who took the Regents exam in High School and scored more than 85 This course is only for non-native speakers of Spanish. Students registered in this course have not taken and are not taking Spanish courses at the 200, 300 or 400 level. METHODOLOGY OF THE COURSE: This course adopts an interactive approach and is designed according to the flip teaching model where students are expected to learn outside of the classroom working with MySpanishLab on a daily basis in order to apply what they have learned in the communicative classroom. The student obligation is to come to class prepared to apply the material they have learned through MySpanishLab. The student, thus, is responsible for reading and studying the topic(s) that will be covered in the class session. Since the material builds on itself, students cannot just skip an assignment of MySpanishLab and assume they can catch-up in the classroom. Optimal participation involves using adequate Spanish for the level of the class you are taking (not only with the instructor, but also with classmates), voluntary participation in class activities, cooperation in group work and respect for classmates, the instructor and the course. Behavior that is not conducive to a productive learning environment will not be tolerated and disciplinary action at the appropriate administrative level will be sought accordingly. ATTENDANCE TO CLASS IS MANDATORY! CLASS ATTENDANCE: Attendance to class is mandatory, and it will be taken at the beginning of every class and lab period. Since this is a 4-credit course. each hour counts as one absence. As such, if a student is absent on the day when class and lab sessions are held and he or she misses both sessions the student will have accrued two absences. Likewise, if a student is present in class and absent for lab or vice-versa, he or she will have accrued one absence for that day. Courses with a class schedule that meets three days per week: For more than 4 absences B > B-; for more than 8 absences B > C+ ; for more than 12 absences B -> C Courses with a class schedule that meets two days per week: For more than 2 absences B > B-; for more than 4 absences B > C+ ; for more than 6 absences B -> C 2
Courses with a class schedule that meets three days per week: For more than 16 absences the student will not receive credit for the course, and the grade will result in an F. Courses with a class schedule that meets two days per week: For more than 8 absences the student will not receive credit for the course, and the grade will result in an F. Arriving to class more than 10 minutes late or departing from class more than 10 minutes early will count towards a missed class. Every 3 tardies or early departures count as one absence. NUMERICAL EVALUATION: 6% Active Class Participation ((The participation grade will be given twice during the semester, once in the week of the Mid term and again in the last week of classes). 18% 3 quizzes (20% of the 1 st quiz is based on an interview to test the students Spanish-speaking Proficiency) 25% Homework (MySpanishLab: Late homework will not be accepted) 24% Midterm exam (It will be divided into two parts: a written part 80 points and an oral part worth 20 Points) 27% Final exam (It will be divided into two parts: a written part 80 points and an oral part with 20 points) Date of final exam: SUNY at Stony Brook Grade System: A = 94-100 B = 84-86 C = 74-76 D = 60-65 A- = 90-93 B- = 80-83 C- = 70-73 F = 0-59 B+ = 87-89 C+ = 77-79 D+ = 66-69 General Remarks: There will be no make-ups for quizzes or exams, unless you have a written medical reason or other documented excuse.

If you have a C- or less please see the Instructor during office hours. If you need to graduate DO NOT WAIT until the last day of class to seek help. Oral evaluations: There will be two oral presentations. One will be given during the midterm week (this will count as part of the midterm exam) and the second oral presentation during the final weeks of the semester (this will count as part of the final exam). It will be conducted in Spanish and cannot be read. The purpose of the oral presentation is NOT to memorize or read from a prepared script, but rather to engage in a fluid and spontaneous conversation. Your instructor will provide further details about the content and coordination of partners when it is appropriate.

UNIVERSITY POLITICES AND PROCEDURES: DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES (DSS) STATEMENT If you have a physical, psychological, medical, or learning disability that may impact your course work, please contact Disability Support Services (631) 632-6748 or http://studentaffairs.stonybrook.edu/dss/. They will determine with you what accommodations are necessary and appropriate. All information and documentation is confidential. Students who require assistance during emergency evacuation are encouraged to discuss their needs with their professors and Disability Support Services. For procedures and information go to the following website: http://www.stonybrook.edu/ehs/fire/disabilities/asp. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY STATEMENT (as approved by the undergrad council): Each student must pursue his or her academic goals honestly and be personally accountable for all submitted work. Representing another person's work as your own is always wrong. Faculty are required to report any suspected instance of academic dishonesty to the Academic Judiciary. For more comprehensive information on academic integrity, including categories of academic dishonesty, please refer to the academic judiciary website at http://www.stonybrook.edu/uaa/academicjudiciary/ CRITICAL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT (as approved by the undergrad council): Stony Brook University expects students to respect the rights, privileges, and property of other people. Faculty are required to report to the Office of Judicial Affairs any disruptive behavior that interrupts their ability to teach, compromises the safety of the learning environment, and/or inhibits students' ability to learn. As stated in the University Student Conduct Code, "No student shall obstruct or disrupt any educational, research, administrative, social or recreational activity of the University; nor shall any student create a nuisance to members or guests of the University community" (Article IIA, 8, p. 8, in the Code). Students involved in such conduct are subject to disciplinary action. Disruptive behavior is that which persistently or grossly interferes with academic or administrative activities. Such behavior actively inhibits students' ability to learn, instructors' ability to teach, or the regular operation of the campus. Occasionally, disruptive behavior may even threaten or endanger the physical or psychological health, safety, or welfare of others. Stony Brook University expects students to maintain standards of personal integrity that are in harmony with the educational goals of the institution; to observe national, state, and local laws and University regulations; and to respect the rights, privileges, and property of other people.. While the University is a place where the free exchange of ideas and concepts allows for debate and disagreement, all classroom behavior and discourse should reflect the values of respect and civility. Both students and the course instructors share the responsibility to maintain an appropriate learning environment that reflects these values. Students have both the right to learn and the responsibility to participate in and respect the learning process. The Department of Hispanic Languages and Literature will report any cases of academic dishonesty to the Academic Judiciary Committee. This will result in the grade of Q on the student s transcript, which cannot be removed until the student takes and passes a seminar on Academic Dishonesty. Academic dishonesty includes plagiarism (copying someone else s ideas/words without citing them), cheating-during exams, quizzes, copying homework, and all other types. 4
