Exams comprise multiple choice, true/false, fill in the blank, and essay questions and will
test chapter vocabulary and grammar as well as reading and listening comprehension.
Quizzes will be given in the simplest format for the topic. They will mostly be fill in the
blank questions.
Presentation Project-Students will work in groups to prepare a cultural project that
represents a chosen country. Each student will receive a grade that consists of both
individual and group assessment. The four components assessed will be quality of work,
pronunciation, grammar and clarity. Groups will choose dates after Spring Break to
present their projects.
Homework is done in the Connect program. Some exercises are automatically graded,
while others I will manually grade. In order to get the most benefit from exercises,
complete them nightly and submit the exercises as soon as they are completed.
Assignment deadlines will not be extended. Do at least one assignment nightly. Waiting
until the night before the exam will not facilitate learning. This semester, I will record the
grades indicated in the connect grade book. If you need me to evaluate your homework
Page |3
due to program limitations, you must send me an email for each exercise you would like
me to investigate.
Participation is not based upon attendance alone. Students must be fully engaged in
learning. This means students who spend time working on other classes or utilizing
electronic devices for anything other than this Spanish course during class time, will not
be given full participation credit.
The Final Exam is comprehensive and will include information from the chapter tests. It
will, however, only consist of multiple choice and true/false type questions.
Make up Policy
You will not be able to make up quizzes. Individually, each quiz is only worth .5% of your
total grade. The purpose of the quizzes is simply to test your understanding on a
particular topic or grammar point. They should also inspire you to keep moving forward
in a chapter and not to wait until the night before an exam to study.
You should be present for all exams. In extenuating circumstances such as illness or
accidents, a student may make up one exam. To do so, students must inform me by
email before the exam, so that arrangements can be made. This is highly discouraged as
you more than likely would have another staff member proctor your exam.
Attendance: Attendance Policy (effective Fall 2011)
In general, attendance is defined as being physically present in a face-to-face class and/or the faceto face portion of a hybrid class at the time attendance is taken. For online classes, attendance is
defined as activity in the class a minimum of 1time per week. A student is considered as having
attended an online class or the on-line portion of a hybrid class prior to the Official Reporting Date
(ORD) if that student has logged into the class at least one time prior to the ORD.
Attendance will be taken for every class meeting. The method by which attendance is taken will be
determined by the faculty member and clearly outlined in the class syllabus. Attendance records will
be submitted electronically to the appropriate division dean on the last day of the course.
Regular and prompt class attendance is expected of every student. A student's absence means that
the student is not able to participate in the class.
Instructor-Initiated Withdrawals (Drops)
While it is the final responsibility of the student to drop a class that she/he is no longer
attending, instructors
must drop a student who has not logged into an online class or physically attended a face-to-face
or hybrid class prior to the ORD. Instructors must initiate ORD drops by the published deadlines.
cannot drop a student with an average of D/UD or better.
after following established division retention practices, may at their discretion drop a student who is
not passing without consultation with the student when absences exceed 20% of the scheduled class
meetings. For classes that include a separate laboratory, a student may be dropped when absences
exceed 20% of the laboratory meetings or 20% of the lecture meetings.
must drop a student who is not passing when absences exceed 40% of the scheduled class
meetings unless said excessive absences accrue after the 65% drop date.
cannot drop a student after 65% of class instruction has been completed.

This practice applies to all modes of instruction. Pursuant to Section 51.9111of the Texas
Education Code, active duty military personnel who provide copies of official orders verifying a call
to active duty are exempt from the above practice. Refer to the Student Handbook for additional
information.
Under special circumstances, an instructor may drop a student sooner than outlined above if the
special circumstances are clearly noted in the syllabus or program handbook and have been
approved in advance by the appropriate division dean. Selective admission programs define their
attendance and instructor-initiated withdrawal procedures in their syllabi and program handbooks.
Instructors will initiate withdrawals by completing the electronic drop form and forwarding it to the
Advising and Counseling Office. The electronic drop form can be found on the faculty tab of the VC
portal. The grade at the time of the drop as well as the last day of attendance must be included on
the electronic drop form.
Instructors will set their own make-up policy as outlined in the course syllabus for work missed due
to absence(s).
The Vice President of Instruction can make exceptions to the above rules.
