AS A STUDENT IN THIS CLASS:
I know and understand the grading scale and course evaluation
I know and understand that completing all required assignments and daily class
participation is required to successfully complete the AP Spanish Literature
I understand that I will be expected to take the AP Spanish Literature Exam on
May 2011.
I know and understand the classroom policies
Classroom Policies:
1. All students are expected to arrive on time to class with their textbook and all required
materials. Students will not be permitted to go to their locker during class time. When the
bell rings, every student is expected to be in his/her seat and ready for class. Each time a
student is tardy, a report will be made for the infraction and points will be deducted from
their participation grade.
2. As a student in AP Spanish Literature, you are expected to do all the assigned readings.
You will read both in class and at home. If you are late or absent to class, you will be
allowed to make up the quiz only after arranging a make-up time with me and if the tardy
or absence is excused.
3. Homework will be given in class and posted on the Jones website. Even if it is not
posted it is your responsibility to write the assignments during class. Homework must be
turned in by its due date. Failure to submit homework will result in a zero. Students may
not leave the class to get their homework. Every assignment and note taking activity must
be labeled and dated clearly. No label no credit this is key to your organization and mine.
Please bring your notebook to class everyday.
4. Late work will be accepted at 50% credit, unless you have an excused absence or an
arrangement has been made with me. If you have an excused absence, you will be able to
make up homework and exams and quizzes. It is your responsibility to obtain the
homework given during your absence from the homework website. Your work is due
upon your return to class, this includes homework and projects. In the case of exams, it
will be your responsibility to arrange with me the best time for you to make it up. Again I
advise you check the homework website since all homework and exams will be posted.
5. Exams will always be announced in advance so that you have plenty of time to
prepare.
6. As an Advanced Placement class, you will be expected to not only complete the
necessary assignments but to study outside of class. This class will be conducted 100% in
Spanish and you are expected to participate on a regular basis, this is how your
participation grade is earned. The discussions held in class will prepare you to achieve
success in the AP Spanish Literature Exam.
7. No gum, candy, beverages, or food allowed in class, ever. Please refer to the student
handbook.
8. Academic Dishonesty is taken very seriously at Jones and in this class. Any
plagiarism/cheating on an exam, test, quiz, class or home work assignment will result in a
“Zero” and notification will be made to the disciplinarian and parents (see student
handbook). Please be aware that the use of the internet is encouraged in this class as a
tool, not as your primary source for the completion of an assignment (by this I mean
cutting and pasting). You are also not allowed to use an on-line translator to translate
a whole document. This is considered plagiarism. You may only use translator as a
source, on a word-to-word basis only.
9. Students are expected to keep all electronic devices off and out of sight. Failure to do
so will result in confiscation and a call home (see student handbook).
10. As you know, the required reading list in the AP Spanish Literature curriculum is
extensive. Your attendance is very important. There will be poems or short stories that
will be read and discussed in class in one day.
Please understand that these policies are in your best interest and are designed to help you
succeed in this class and on your AP exam.
Questions/ Concerns
In order for a student to receive extra help the student must be engaged in class. Students
can set up appointment with me in class or via email. Parents may inquire about their
child’s grades via email or in writing and I will do my best to respond within 48 school
hours.
