Course Description:
¡Bienvenidos! Spanish 202 is the fourth language course designed for students who have
completed the equivalent of three semesters of Spanish at the University level, e.g.,
Spanish 101, 102, and 201 or Span 121 and Span 201 at the University of Mississippi.
Spanish 202 features Capítulo 12 - Capítulo 15 of ¡Arriba! The textbook follows the
information-based task approach, which springs from the idea that languages are best
learned when real-world information becomes the focus of students' activities. Therefore,
during this course, you will exchange real-life information about you and your
classmates.
Span 202 is a computer-enhanced course, which means that you will employ
technology to submit your homework online. During class time, your instructor expects
more one-on-one interaction between you, your classmates, and your instructor. Outside
the classroom, you will use the electronic workbook, which is designed to connect
students with the language.
Course Materials:
1. Zayas-Bazán & Bacon (2011). ¡Arriba! Textbook. Sixth edition. Prentice-Hall.
2. MySpanishLab® access. (If you have taken Span 201 at Ole Miss, there is no need to
purchase a new access code.)
3. Headphones.
4. A copy of your course syllabus.
5. Essential: A good Spanish-English/English-Spanish dictionary.
Course Objectives:
After completing this course, students should be able to communicatively interact in
Spanish. Students should also be able to appropriately express their ideas in writing with
a satisfactory level of accuracy in the language. Upon completion of the course, students
will have gained knowledge of Latin American and Hispanic cultures, Hispanic modern
1
art, the indigenous heritance in Latin American, and other cultural aspects involving the
Latin world.
Policies of the Spanish Basic Language Program:
This syllabus details your obligations and responsibilities, and it is essential that you read
it thoroughly. Please contact your instructor if you have any questions. Furthermore, you
should consult the attached schedule on a daily basis to determine the material that you
are to prepare for the next class, as well as to keep abreast of any upcoming due dates and
deadlines.
INSTRUCTOR-STUDENT COMMUNICATION. How you can communicate with
your instructor:
Via e-mail: E-mails will be answered within 24 hours from Monday through Friday, and
48 hours during weekends. Your instructor will send you important messages via the
Class Roll function, so check your OleMiss e-mail account often.
During your instructor’s office hours: Your instructor will provide his/her e-mail
address and office hours the first day of class.
If there is an emergency: If you have an urgent question or must contact your instructor
urgently, please contact him/her via email.
Attendance Policy:
The Spanish Program takes seriously the University's statement on attendance; namely,
that students are expected to attend class regularly. To derive the utmost benefit from
instruction, daily attendance is essential. No matter what the reason for the absence,
failure to attend class always results in missed opportunities to hear and speak Spanish.
DURING THE SEMESTER, STUDENTS ARE ENTITLED TO 5 EXCUSED OR
UNEXCUSED ABSENCES. AFTER THE FIFTH ABSENCE, STUDENTS WILL
AUTOMATICALLY FAIL THE COURSE.
Students with perfect attendance throughout the semester will be able to replace
three of their lowest participation grades with 100% for each week; unless the low
grade is a result of a disciplinary action, such as using the cell phone in class.
Participation: Each week, your instructor will evaluate your participation level and
determine a grade based on the criteria listed below. You will have the opportunity to
earn 5 points for every class period, for a maximum of 15 points per week. Your
participation grade will be based upon your contribution to class discussions, small group
work, and preparedness. In 202, the participation points will account for 20% of your
final grade, so it is essential that you come prepared for every class. Please remember
2
that if you miss a class, you are responsible for contacting your instructor or other
classmates to obtain any missed information.
You may review your participation grades by checking the MySpanishLab Gradebook.
Should there be any disagreement, you should resolve it immediately with your
instructor.
If you are a student athlete, a band member, or a member of other such university
organizations, you should bring a letter from your Supervisor or specific department at
the beginning of the semester indicating the dates you will miss class.
To recover participation points because of absences, you need to provide your
instructor with a valid and official excuse (e.g., doctor’s note stating the date during
which you were unable to attend classes) on the day you resume attendance to class.
Only excused absences will allow students to recover participation points. Once your
instructor receives the note, he/she will decide if your absence is approved or not. The
main difference between approved and unapproved absences is that you do not receive
any participation points for unapproved absences. However, if your absence is approved,
your participation grade for that week will be pro-rated accordingly. For example, if you
have a doctor’s note stating that you were sick on Day 2, your participation grade for that
day will be the average between Day 1 and Day 3. "Emergencies and reasons beyond the
student’s control other that illness will be considered excused absences at the discretion
of the Director of the Spanish Program." Regardless if your absences are excused or
unexcused, they still count toward the maximum number (5) of absences.

In-Class Technology: As common sense suggests, your cell phone needs to be off and
not visible the entire class period. The same applies to any other technological device
such as laptops, iPods, iPads, etc. Students using any device during class period will
receive a zero for participation for that day.
Tardiness: Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class period. Students who
arrive after this will lose one point from the participation grade for that day.
Your instructor has the prerogative to deny admission to students who arrive more
than 10 minutes late.
B. 5 Disruptive behavior: According to the M Book p. 5:
Disorderly behavior that disrupts the academic environment violates the standard of fair
access to the academic experience. Some examples of disruptive behavior are purposeful
acts, such as "shouting down" a seminar speaker, physically or verbally harassing an
instructor or fellow student, or engaging in any type of disruptive behavior in a class
situation that interferes with the ability of the professor to teach or other students to learn.
**Foul language falls into the category of verbally harassing an instructor or fellow
student. This behavior is utterly unacceptable as well.**
Testing: The following exams are included in this course: four partial exams, one oral
presentation, three presentation quizzes and one comprehensive final exam.
Final Exam: The date, time, and location of the final exam are listed on the Fall Class
Schedule at http://registrar.olemiss.edu/final-exam-schedule-fall-2016/
4
**The final exam is comprehensive**
*** Do not make any travel plans during final exams week. ***
If you are absent from any testing day (exams, in-class compositions, oral
presentation or final exam), you must contact your instructor within one working day
from the exam/composition date. You must provide valid and official written
documentation for your absence before making-up you work without any penalty.
Students must take the exam/composition within one working day from the original date
of the exam. For oral presentations, students must render their oral presentation the very
next time class meets. Any additional extensions may be granted only under exceptional
circumstances or highly unusual cases and will be done at the discretion of the Director
of the Spanish Basic Language Program. Students who miss an exam/composition
without an excused absence may be allowed to make it up with a 20% deduction
provided that they take it within 24 hours from the original exam date.
All exams are property of the Modern Languages Department and must be returned to the
instructor upon the instructor’s request.
Your instructor will not be available to give you access to your exams on the week of
final exams. If you wish to look over your exams, please do so ahead of time.
Special Accommodations: It is the responsibility of any student with a disability who
requests a reasonable accommodation to contact the office of Student Disability Services
(915-7128). SDS will then contact the instructor through the student so that a reasonable
accommodation of a disability can be made.
Homework: In this class there will be homework assignments of 3 types: Preparation
for Class, Compositions & MySpanishLab Activities.
Preparation for Class: It is your responsibility to come prepared to class. Part of
this preparation entails doing the pre-assigned activities, which come from the textbook.
Your instructor will go over the activities in class, but you are expected to have the
answers ready, that way your participation will be more obvious. The daily activities and
due dates can be found under Weekly Calendar. Preparedness is the key to successful
participation grades, which will count for 20% of your final grade. The assignments and
due dates are found on the weekly calendar.
MySpanishLab Homework:
During this course, you will use a program called MySpanishLab to submit your
homework on-line. There will be a mandatory “MySpanishLab” training session
during a regularly scheduled class-time. Details are on page 10.
Doing your homework by means of “MySpanishLab” will provide the following
advantages:
5
• Self-pacing. The computer allows you to work ahead. However, as with other classes,
you cannot fall behind.
• Immediate feedback. The computer grades your homework exercises instantly, tells you
which answers are wrong, and allows you to redo the exercise, as many times as you
want.
• Opportunity for improvement. The program is designed so that you can attempt the
same activity as many as three (3) times. “MySpanishLab” saves your highest score.
• Easy access. You can do your homework from any computer that accesses the Internet.
However, you should know that there is a deadline, after which you will receive no
credit.
Please note that all MySpanishLab homework must be submitted on-line no later
than 11:59 p.m. on the day indicated in the syllabus.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: All computers in Language Resource Center in
the basement of Bondurant Hall have the software you need to complete your homework.
Please keep in mind that it may be difficult to find an open station on certain days and
that systems sometimes crash. Please plan accordingly. Server crashes, difficulties
accessing “MySpanishLab”, and difficulties installing software will not be
considered valid excuses to grant extensions on “MySpanishLab” homework. We
recommend that you do your homework early in the week, since this has the added
benefit of allowing you enough time to contact your instructor to solve problems that you
may have with an activity.
From the M Book. Academic Discipline: "A student who copies another's homework,
copies answers to test questions, or allows someone else to do work for him/her on
homework or tests also violates the standards of honesty and fairness and is subject to
academic discipline." If your instructor suspects that you have used the aid of
another person, any device, any software, or any existing answer key to do your
homework online, you will receive a zero. Other appropriate penalties in current M
Book may apply.
In addition to the activities you will be completing as part of your homework, you will
use “MySpanishLab” to write compositions in Spanish. “MySpanishLab” provides you
with the opportunity to communicate your ideas at your own pace in written Spanish.
You will be required to post a total of 6 messages for this course. Here is how it works:
1. Due dates and topics are indicated in the syllabus and marked on the online calendar.
2. Login to “MySpanishLab”, read the topic, and think about what you want to write.
3. When you are ready to write, click on the composition (just as you would click on any
other activity) and you will see the topic and the space for you to type your composition.
4. Once you are satisfied with your composition, please write the number of words used,
click on “FINISH: Submit for grading” and confirm submission.
5. The following message will appear: “Your Score: Pending instructor review”.
6
All entries are to be AT LEAST 120 WORDS LONG and written IN SPANISH. Lists
of words, songs, dialogs, and copies of other texts are not acceptable messages.
After the deadline, your instructor will evaluate your message using the grading criteria
written below. Please be advised that late postings without accepted excuses will not
receive any credit.
Compositions Grading Criteria - Topic, Vocabulary and Grammar:
95% -100%: Addresses the topic assigned, uses a wide variety of the vocabulary covered
in the lessons, control of grammar is what would be considered typical for this level.
70%- 80%: Addresses the topic assigned, uses a wide variety of the vocabulary covered
in the lessons, control of grammar is somewhat less than what would be considered
typical for this level.
50%- 60%: Addresses the topic assigned, uses some variety of the vocabulary covered in
the lessons, control of grammar is considerably less than what would be typical for this
level.
30%- 40%: Addresses the topic assigned, writes less than half of the total words
required, uses only minimal variety of the vocabulary covered in the lessons, control of
grammar is significantly below what would be considered typical for this level.
0%: Does not address the topic, uses a translator of the aid of another person to write the
posting, lists words, sentences, songs or copies other texts.
Please note that if your instructor suspects that you have used the aid of a
translator or of another person to write your posting, you will receive a
zero.
Important Note: Compositions with less than 120 words will receive an additional 2point deduction from the grade assigned by the instructor. Compositions with half or less
than half of the total words required will not be graded.
"If you wish to discuss your MySpanishLab grade, or any grade component, you must
contact your instructor before the last week of classes. YOUR INSTRUCTOR WILL BE
UNAVAILABLE FOR THIS MATTER ON THE WEEK OF FINAL EXAMS."
Compositions Topics:
Composition 1: Capítulo 12 (To be announced in class)
Composition 2: Capítulo 12: El medio ambiente. Imagine that the governor of the State
of Mississippi has sent you a million dollars for you to solve the environmental problems
of the state. What would you do with the money? What measures would be necessary to
protect the environment in the state? What kind of suggestions would you give the local
people to improve the quality of life in the state? Use a wide variety of vocabulary and
the conditional. Remember that you need to write at least 120 words.
7
Composition 3: Capítulo 13: Una carta al director. Pretend that you are writing a letter
to the editor of a newspaper about a topic that interests you. It can be about technology,
movies, music, an artist, politics, etc. Just make sure to choose a topic about which you
have a strong opinion. First, convince the editor to publish your letter and secondly,
convince the readers that you are right. Without copying the sentences from the modelo,
follow the steps for Activity 13-48 on p. 450 of your textbook. Your composition should
have at least 120 words.
Composition 4: Capítulo 13: Una película toda mía. Now imagine that Hollywood is
calling! You are about to become a famous movie producer. Write a paragraph explaining
what kind of movie(s) you would produce. Mention the leading man/ the leading woman
/ the genre / the length of the script / rehearsal time / the beginning / the end / and any
other information you find relevant about your very own movie. Use the simple present
and a wide variety of vocabulary from Chapter 13. Your composition should have at least
120 words.
Composition 5: Capítulo 14: ¿Cuánto tiempo hace? How long has it been since you
attended a concert, an opera, a ballet performance or any other cultural activity? Using a
wide variety of vocabulary and the hacer in time expressions structure, describe details of
the performance. Next, invite a friend to join you in your next cultural event. Use the
nosotros commands for this second part of your composition. Remember that your
composition should have at least 120 words.
Composition 6: Capítulo 15 (To be announced in class)
Oral Presentation and Presentation quizzes:
Many students fear the ominous ORAL PRESENTATION. It may comfort you to know
that it is a fear shared by students in speech communication, history, and economics, even
when it takes place in one's native language. For many people, just the idea of standing in
front of a group is traumatic. Nonetheless, it's our goal in the Spanish program to make
this experience as comfortable as possible.
The oral presentation allows students the opportunity to demonstrate some of their
steadily increasing language skills and subject matter knowledge. The task has been
structured so that students will succeed, if they allow adequate time for preparation and
pay close attention to the requirements and guidelines.
You will give a presentation on an academically sound topic that you will choose. Your
instructor will approve topics that are relevant to the course. You are expected to consult
at least one source in Spanish to prepare your presentation. You will have a time limit of
5 minutes to render your oral presentation.
You will prepare a detailed, hierarchically-organized outline for your presentation. You
will also prepare a one page handout for your classmates which will help them follow
your presentation. It should call their attention to the main points in your presentation.
8
When you are listening to classmates' presentations you have a vested interest in paying
close attention, since this material will be included in the presentation quizzes. Ask for
clarification when you do not understand and express your questions as clearly as
possible. Your instructor will neither repeat nor re-do a presentation. Speak up, ask
questions; check to see if you've heard correctly - in Spanish, of course.
Your presentation will be graded on a 100-point scale according to the following criteria:
Content and organization (up to 20 points.): Your presentation should be wellorganized, clear, and easy to follow. You should be certain of the pronunciation of key
terms, and deliver your presentation in a manner that will allow your classmates to follow
along. Emphasize key words, and make sure that you pace your presentation so that it is
clear what you are addressing at any given point. Transitions can make a presentation
infinitely more comprehensible; contact your instructor for suggestions. It is a good idea
to practice giving your presentation to a small audience (perhaps just another student)
beforehand to confirm its comprehensibility. If there are questions before or during your
presentation, you should answer them appropriately.
Preparedness (up to 20 points.): Your presentation should also be engaging, without
excessive use of figures, numbers, percentages, and such. Furthermore, while you are not
expected to deliver the presentation as fluently as you might in your native language,
your presentation should be dynamic. Long silences indicate a lack of preparation. While
notes are acceptable, reading the presentation to your classmates is not, and will
considerably detract from your content and preparedness grade. Do not read your
presentation. If you read, you will be deducted points proportionally to your reading. You
will also lose points for resorting to English during your presentation.
Supporting material (up to 20 points): Your outline should be clear and rather general.
Too much information on the outline will distract your audience. The handout will be
created after your instructor approves your outline. Your handout should allow your
classmates and instructor to follow your progression of main points and provide them a
convenient place to take notes. Other visual aids can contribute immensely to the success
of your presentation in Spanish. You may find, for example, that maps or pictures are
helpful. Make sure that these are large enough and clear enough for the class to see. It is
also important not to overuse visuals; your audience may become distracted and miss
what you're saying. If you are comfortable with PowerPoint presentations, this would be
the perfect time to use one.
Topic (up to 10 points): Make sure your vocabulary is appropriate to your topic and that
your classmates will understand the words you use. Chances are that if you need to look
many words up in the dictionary your classmates will not know them either. It is fine to
use some unfamiliar words important to your presentation, but be sure to make clear to
your classmates the meanings of these words, without relying on translation.
Delivery factors (up to 30): There should be a reason that you include or exclude every
bit of information in your presentation. Keep in mind your time limit, and make sure that
9
adequate time is allotted for each of your points. You have prepared your presentation
and you are now ready to delivery it. In this category, all items included in those 5
minutes will be taken into account: your professionalism, the grammar used, your
pronunciation, your level of enthusiasm, the volume of your voice and even your overall
timing.
MySpanishLab Training: There will be a MySpanishLab training session to help
you learn how to work with this program. Attendance is MANDATORY.
The training session will take place during regular class period on Week 1 of Fall
semester, in your regular classroom.
If you do not attend the training session, it is your responsibility to learn how to use
this program.
