(This course will cover through Chapter 3)
Course Description: A beginning course in understanding, speaking, reading, and writing Spanish. The first in a sequence of four
related courses. The class assumes NO prior knowledge of Spanish. (Approximately 25% of class conducted in Spanish.)
Program Description: The growing need for multi-language skills has reached a crisis point. More and more degrees and career
paths require applicants with sufficient competency to communicate with a native speaker of the designated language. This program
is designed for students who wish to acquire oral and written language proficiency, an awareness of the Spanish-speaking culture, and
who have plans to transfer to a four-year university. TCC instructional methods infuse technology into the learning process.
Laboratory: The language laboratory at Southeast Campus is located in 1120. Students are encouraged to use the laboratory at their
convenience (day or evening) and in accordance with course assignments. Video tapes and computer programs are also available for
students.
Technology: An Interactive CD-ROM (no access code needed) is included with the textbook to be used with this course. This
CD-ROM offers additional vocabulary and grammar practice activities, vocabulary games, review activities and much more. Students
also have free access to the Online Learning Center (OLC) Website, which provides students with a wealth of exercises and
activities specially created for use with Plazas. Students must purchase a BOOK KEY for each QUIA Online Lab Manual and
Workbook to have access to the system. The QUIA Online exercises benefit the students with self-scoring activities and instant
feedback. Students need an Instructor’s Course Code to create a Quia account (see QUIA Course Code handout).
Technology Support: A CD ROM is included with the textbook for use with the materials for this course. Also students have the
option of purchasing the electronic version of the lab and workbook, which will give students immediate feedback on their work.
Audit or Credit: Students may take this course on an audit or credit basis. Students who prefer to audit should request the instructor
to complete an Audit Form soon after the semester begins. Audit students are expected to do the same work as credit students, i.e.,
complete all homework and exams. The final exam is optional for audit students.
Next course in sequence: SPA 1213, Spanish II
Teaching Methods: This course will be conducted combining lecture, oral and written exercises, listening and speaking Spanish to
help students develop proficiency in the language. Therefore, students are encouraged to prepare before coming to class, so that most
class time is spent using Spanish by listening to and speaking with instructor and classmates. If you need assistance, contact your
instructor as soon as possible.
Goals and Objectives:
At least 95% of participating students should exit even the first level of language at TCC with a measurable oral proficiency which is
understandable to a native speaker of the target language.
At least 95% of participating students will develop proficiency in the four skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) in the target
language appropriate to the level of the course.
At least 95% of participating students will be able to understand the target language within the vocabulary/structure limitations of the
appropriate level when spoken by a native speaker at a normal rate of speed.
At least 25% of the grade will be based on the student's ability to write in Spanish without the aid of other devices.
Students will have opportunities to acquire an awareness and an appreciation of the people who use the target language.

Attendance
The nature of this course requires that most learning take place during class time. Students who have more than FOUR
hours absent usually do not perform successfully on assessments or in class participation (For example, one day absence
in 8-week courses is the equivalent of two days in a 16-week semester.) Absent students can receive no “participation”
credit for the days they are absent.
Late Assignments
No more than FOUR late assignments will be accepted during the 16-week classes or TWO late assignments in the 8week classes. Also no late assignments will be accepted on the last day of class.
Make-up Policy for Spanish 1103 requires students to check with their instructor concerning make-up of exams. Delays
of exams are discouraged since they are timed to coincide with the best learning/performance period for the students.
In general, the late exam will be devalued 5 points or 10% whichever is less. Also the exam must be made up BEFORE
the next class meeting. Otherwise, the student will receive a zero for this exam.
Electronics
Electronic devices (cell phones, pagers, etc.) are not permitted and should not be activated during class time. Student in
possession of these devices are responsible for making sure these are TURNED OFF or are turn to “silent.” Video
cameras and cassettes recorders require prior approval of the instructor.
Students who cannot comply with the above policies will be asked to leave the room. These devices interrupt class
activities and infringe on the rights and learning opportunities of other students.
F05
Failure to Withdraw Policy: If the student ceases to attend class, it is his or her responsibility to “Withdraw” officially from the
course. Failure to do so may result in the student’s receiving a grade of “F” at the end of the semester. Otherwise, the student will
receive the grade earned based on his/her work for the semester.
ADA Policy:
STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS: Students with documented disabilities are provided academic
accommodations through the disabled Student Resource Center (918-595-7115) or Resource Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
(918-595-7428), TDD-TTY (918-595-7434). If any student is in need of academic accommodations from either office, it is the
student’s responsibility to advise the instructor so an appropriate referral can be made no later than the first week of class. Students
may also contact the disabled Student Services Offices directly at the telephone numbers indicated.
ACADEMIC
ACCOMMODATION WILL NOT BE PROVIDED UNLESS APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION IS PROVIDED TO THE
DISABLED STUDENT SERVICES OFFICES TO SUPPORT THE NEED.
COMMUNICATIONS:
Course Withdrawal: The deadline to withdraw from a course shall not exceed 3/4 the duration of any class.
Check the TCC Academic Calendar for the deadline that applies to your course(s). Begin the process with a
discussion with the faculty member assigned to the course. Contact the Advisement Office at any TCC
campus to initiate withdrawal from a course ("W" grade) or to change from "Credit" to "Audit." Withdrawal
and/or change to an Audit from a course after the drop/add period may alter the financial aid award for
the current semester and future semesters. Students may receive an outstanding bill from TCC if the
recalculation leaves a balance due to TCC. Students who stop participating in the course and fail to
withdraw may receive a course grade of "F," which may have financial aid consequences for the student."
Communications:
a. Email communications: All TCC students receive a designated “MyTCC” email address (ex:
jane.doe@mail.tulsacc.edu). All email communications to you will be sent to your MyTCC email address; and you
must use MyTCC email to send email to, and receive email from, the instructor regarding this course.
b. Inclement Weather: TCC rarely closes. If extreme weather conditions or emergency situations arise, TCC always gives
cancellation notices to radio and television stations. This information is also posted on the TCC website
(www.tulsacc.edu).
General Education Goals: General Education courses at TCC ensure that our graduates gain skills, knowledge, and abilities that
comprise a common foundation for their higher education and a backdrop for their work and personal lives. TCC’s General Education
goals are: Critical Thinking, Effective Communication, Engaged Learning, and Technological Proficiency.
Classroom Etiquette: Open and mutually respectful communication of varied opinions, beliefs, and perspectives during classroom or
online discussion encourages the free exchange of ideas that is essential to higher learning and to the ability to learn from each other.
Use of any electronic device is at the discretion of the instructor.

Academic Dishonesty: Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of others about one’s own work or about the work
of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at campuses within the Tulsa Community College
system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy delegating certain forms of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such
disciplinary actions delegated to the faculty include, but are not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students from
classes. In the case of academic dishonesty a faculty member may:
 require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a substitute assignment or test;
 Record a "zero" for the assignment or test in question;
 Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively withdraw the student from the class;
 Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester.
Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by submitting such request to the
Dean of Student Services.

Institutional Statement: Each student is responsible for being aware of the information contained in the TCC Catalog, the TCC
Student Policies & Resources Handbook, and semester information listed in the class schedule. All information may be viewed on
