Course descriptions and Objectives
Continues SPAN& 121. The course
covers Lección 6 to Lección
10 of the textbook. Additional material (ie:
MP3s/CD’s, the text web site, tapes, video, etc.)
may be utilized throughout the quarter
to enrich the teaching and learning experience.
This course will develop basic language skills in
Spanish. The emphasis is listening and
speaking; basic reading and writing skills are
also introduced. It introduces you to
fundamentals of the Spanish language (grammar,
vocabulary, common expressions)
and the Hispanic culture
(customs/attitudes/countries).
Equal emphasis is given to the four basic
language skills: listening, speaking, writing,
and reading, in which culture plays an intricate
role as a fifth component in order to
truly appreciate the target language and its
people.
You are encouraged to develop a genuine interest
in Spanish by embracing its culture.
Thus, you are invited to establish connections in
and out of the classroom setting to
enrich your new acquired knowledge and foster
understanding of the Hispanic world.
The library, Hispanics on campus, the internet,
Spanish TV http://www.televisa.com
and radio stations for example
http://www.latinworld.com/radio/index.html,videos,
music, newspapers
http://www.cnnexpansion.com,http://www.eluniversal.
com.mx,http://www.elpais.com/global/,,http://www.prensalibre.com.gt,
are
great sources to accelerate the learning process.
Syllabus Modification
The course syllabus is subject to change. This includes,
but it is not limited to class
schedule, number of exams, exam dates,
percentages, etc. If necessary, the instructor
reserves the right to modify the syllabus.
Changes will be announced in class. Students
not attending when changes are announced are
responsible for obtaining this
information. If you miss class, you are
responsible for obtaining any missed information
from a classmate if you can’t reach the
instructor through e-mail. Make friends and
study partners with your classmates and exchange phone
numbers and e-mail
addresses.
Course Requirement
Attendance. It is
mandatory. I’ll take attendance at 8:30 and give you one point for each day. If
you’re more than 10 minutes late, I’ll count you absent. If you leave early it
will count as an absence. You are allowed to miss 3 classes without
jeopardizing your grade.
In order for you to be eligible for a grade in
this course, you must not miss more than ten classes, or 20% of the total class
time scheduled, for any reason.
During the course of the quarter you may incur
loss of
points due to excessive absences, lack of
participation and cooperation in class, refusal
to use the target language, and/or not bringing
the required material to class.
Excuses- There are no excuses. Turn in your work
on time and come to class. Plan
accordingly and budget your time and absences.
Homework and Assignments are announced on the
Supersite on a daily basis.
https://bellevuecollege.edu/artshum/studentinfo.asp
NO MAKE UPS WILL BE GIVEN. NO TESTS, FINAL EXAM,
QUIZZES,
HOMEWORK, OR ANY OTHER ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE
PROVIDED.
There will be five exams (I will drop the lowest
grade from the first five exams given)
and the final. The final is comprehensive. It
will include the material covered in class
from the beginning of the first week of classes,
from Lección 6 to Lección
10 and any
additional material. Quizzes may be also given
every week. If so, they will be
announced. Students not attending when quizzes
are announced are responsible for
obtaining this information. WORK TURNED IN LATE
(after 8:30) WILL NOT BE
ACCEPTED.

Division Statements
For a detailed guide to policies and
expectations, please read the Arts and Humanities
Division Handbook at http://www.bcc.ctc.edu/ArtsHum/studentinfo.html
Drop Procedure:
If you decide to drop a course, you are
responsible for doing the required paperwork at
the Student Services Center. Should you fail to
do so, your name will appear on the
final roster and your instructor will be required
to assign a grade for you—in most
cases, that will be an "F." Many
instructors, in fact, feel strongly that students who
take up seats in this unproductive way are
keeping more serious students from getting
an education, so they use "F" grades
for "phantoms."
The Bellevue College Academic Calendar is
separated into two calendars. They provide
information about holidays, closures and
important enrollment dates such as the finals

If you decide to drop this class, you must
withdraw officially with the Registration Office
by the date set by the college. If you simply
stop coming, you will receive an “F.
