Course Description:
Welcome to Spanish 101, the first course in a four semester series for students of
Spanish. Spanish 101 features Capítulo 1- Capítulo 4 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 semester, you will exchange real-life information about you and your
classmates.
Span 101 is a computer-enhanced course, which means that you will employ
technology to submit your homework online. Your instructor expects more one-on-one
interaction between you, your classmates, and your instructor during class time. 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 card for online workbook.
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 manage a wide variety of vocabulary to be
able to introduce themselves, express likes and dislikes, communicatively exchange
information, give directions, plan activities among other basic tasks in the target
language. Students should be able to work with subject-verb & subject-adjective
agreement in the present tense.
Policies of the Spanish Basic Language Program:
INSTRUCTOR-STUDENT COMMUNICATION. How you can communicate with
your instructor:
1
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. Please do not send your
instructor e-mails via MySpanishLab. Use his/her OleMiss e-mail account.
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. Please remember that if you miss a class, you are responsible for
contacting your instructor or other classmates to obtain any missed information.
You must contact your instructor during office hours to review your participation grades
or you can view them 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,
2
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.
Participation Criteria:
Outstanding = 5 points

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. 24:
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
examination and a final exam. All exams will consist of the following sections: classroom
readings, reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, writing and listening
comprehension.
Exams: There will be four exams, which will cover the main points of each chapter.
The exams are intended to aid the students to review the material learned up to that point.
The exams dates are stated in the syllabus.
Oral Exam: At the end of the semester, you will have an oral exam. The exam will
consist of a role-play/interview with another classmate for 3-5 minutes. You will be given
2-3 minutes to think about the topic, after which time you will have to carry on a
conversation with a partner in front of your instructor. You will not be able to have any
notes.
You will be graded on your fluency, your grammatical accuracy and your breadth of
vocabulary. We encourage you to take every opportunity in class during the course to
speak in Spanish. The more you speak in Spanish, the better you will get at it.
Final Exam: The date, time, and location of the final exam are listed on the Spring
Class Schedule at http://registrar.olemiss.edu/final-exam-schedule/
**The final exam is comprehensive**
*** Do not make any travel plans during final exams week. ***
4
If you are absent from any testing day (exams, in-class compositions, oral exam 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. 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.
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.
- 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.
“MySpanishLab” - Homework:
During this semester, you will use a program called “MySpanishLab” to submit your
homework on-line. There will be a “MySpanishLab” training session during the regularly
scheduled class-time.
Doing your homework by means of “MySpanishLab” will provide the following
advantages:
• 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 you can attempt the
exercises as many times as you like to earn the grade you want. “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 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
5
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 to do your homework online, you will receive a zero. Other
appropriate penalties in current M Book may apply.
“MySpanishLab” - Compositions:
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 the Spring semester. Here is how it
works:
1. Due dates and topics are indicated on 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, the instructor’s model 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”.
All entries are to be AT LEAST 70 WORDS LONG (except for Composition 6, which
needs to be at least 85 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:
90%-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.
6
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 points: Does not address the topic, uses a translator or 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.
Number of words: Compositions with less than 70 words (85 for the last one) will
receive a 2-point deduction from the grade assigned by the instructor. Postings with half
or less than half of the total words required will not be graded.
