INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES:
SPAN 102 Novice High
Speakers at the Novice High sublevel are able to handle a variety of tasks pertaining to the
Intermediate level, but are unable to sustain performance at that level. They are able to manage successfully a number of uncomplicated communicative tasks in straightforward social situations.
Conversation is restricted to a few of the predictable topics necessary for survival in the target language culture, such as basic personal information, basic objects, and a limited number of activities, preferences, and immediate needs. Novice High speakers respond to simple, direct questions or requests for information. They are also able to ask a few formulaic questions.
Novice High speakers are able to express personal meaning by relying heavily on learned phrases or recombinations of these and what they hear from their interlocutor. Their language consists primarily of short and sometimes incomplete sentences in the present, and may be hesitant or inaccurate. On the other hand, since their language often consists of expansions of learned material and stock phrases, they may sometimes sound surprisingly fluent and accurate. Pronunciation, vocabulary, and syntax may be strongly influenced by the first language. Frequent misunderstandings may arise but, with repetition or rephrasing, Novice High speakers can generally be understood by sympathetic interlocutors used to non- natives. When called on to handle a variety of topics and perform functions pertaining to the Intermediate level, a Novice High speaker can sometimes respond in intelligible sentences, but will not be able to sustain sentencelevel discourse.

ACADEMIC HONESTY
We will observe the Academic Honesty Policy and its related process as stated in the 2013-2014
Undergraduate Bulletin and in the Student Handbook.
DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGES AND LITERATURES MAKE-UP EXAMINATION POLICY
The Department of Languages and Literatures authorizes make-up examinations ONLY for documented reasons involving personal medical or family emergencies or due to participation in
College team sports or legitimate academic events (e.g., Model United Nations, scholarly conferences). If such documentation is provided, it is up to the instructor’s discretion to grant a make-up exam or to excuse the student from taking the exam without penalty. If the instructor approves a make-up exam, its content may significantly differ in format from the scheduled exam.
If the student’s performance in the course up to the date of the missed exam makes it impossible to pass the course, even if taking a make-up and scoring 100%, no make-up or special arrangements will be offered. The Department considers make-up exams a privilege, not a right.
ACCOMMODATIONS
SUNY Geneseo will make reasonable accommodations for persons with documented physical
(including pregnancy), emotional or learning disabilities. Students must contact the Director in the
Office of Disability Services (Dr. Tabitha Buggie-Hunt, 105D Erwin) and their faculty to discuss needed accommodations as early as possible in the semester.
