Policies and Requirements:
1. Attendance: There are three hours of instruction per week and approximately one to
two hours lab work (online) per week. Since this is an interactive course that develops
skills, attendance is very important. There will be no make-up examinations due to
unexcused absences. Please see the withdrawal policy detailed on pages 57-58 of the
Spring Hill College Bulletin of Information.
2. Homework is important and will be detailed online at MySpanishLab. Daily review of
learned material is essential for internalizing the language. Please note that each hour of
lecture usually requires two hours of outside preparation. After the first class meeting,
written and/or listening exercises are to be completed as detailed online at
MySpanishLab. The course calendar lists the dates by which each activity should be
completed. You can expect to be asked questions on any assigned material at any time.
Be sure to talk to your instructor as soon as you feel that you are encountering
difficulties with the material.
3. Study Methods: Students should work to acquire and improve all four language skills:
comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing. A new language is learned most effectively
by using it. Therefore it is necessary to attend class regularly to take advantage of the
opportunities for practicing it. Classes will be conducted predominantly in Spanish, and even
though you will not understand every word, especially at first, regular participation will
ensure progress in listening skills. In the formal and informal speaking activities you should
not be afraid to make mistakes -- your goal is to communicate with native speakers of
Spanish, and it is understandable that you will make errors at first. As your study continues,
however, your mistakes should become less and less frequent. Read the grammar
explanations at home so that as much class time as possible can be spent on oral practice. Do
not be afraid to ask questions about matters that you do not understand, however. Your
participation grade is based on an assessment of your active and daily preparation for class
and your willingness to participate in class activities. Since people learn at different paces it
is important that everyone feel comfortable speaking Spanish in class. Please be respectful of
your fellow students!
4. Spring Hill Policy on Disability Accommodations: Students who want to receive
disabilities accommodations should contact Mrs. Dunklin, Coordinator for Student
Support Services at 380-3470 as soon as possible so that warranted accommodations can
be arranged. Her office is located in Student Academic Services, 1st floor, Administration
Building.
5. Extra Credit: There is no extra credit offered in this course. There is, however, plenty
of regular credit.


Exams: Tests will be given throughout the semester as they appear on the
syllabus. The final exam will be given according to the time/date on the SHC
Final Examination Schedule. The final exam will be comprehensive.

MySpanishLab: Assignments on MySpanishLab are due before class begins as
outlined on the course schedule found below. Students should complete the
MySpanishLab assignments before coming to class, however, full credit will be
given for these assignments until the day before each chapter exam. Students will
receive no credit for assignments completed after that date, no matter the reason.
These assignments can be taken as many times as necessary for students to earn
the highest grade.

Pop Quizzes: Pop quizzes will be given throughout the semester on a random
basis. These quizzes will come directly from the MySpanishLab homework due
each day. These quizzes cannot be made up for any reason, but at the end of the
semester the lowest four grades will be disregarded for each student, providing a
certain allowance for students who miss the quizzes due to excused absences.

Participation: The grade for participation is calculated based on a daily selfevaluation. The evaluation sheet carries a description of the requirements to
receive full credit each day in class. The instructor reserves the right to adjust
points as needed. While there is no attendance requirement for the course,
participation is dependent on students attending class. Participation points cannot
be made up under any circumstances, but a certain amount of points can be lost
without affecting the final grade.

Note that the syllabus is subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances.
Students will be notified of any changes in advance.*
