Course: Spanish 202 is a review of all essentials of structure, along with practice in understanding, speaking, reading and writing, all within a framework of Hispanic culture.
Objectives: the course aims to further the development of the skills of understanding, reading, writing, and speaking Spanish. A student who successfully completes the course should have an ability to communicate on everyday topics, an understanding of major aspects of Hispanic heritage and attitudes, and a readiness for advanced work in civilization and literature.
Texts: ˇContinuemos! (6th edition), Workbook/Lab Manual, and Aventuras literarias (5th edition). Other aids such as films, slides, and tapes may occasionally be used.
A set of cassette tapes will be left on reserve in the library. You need to go there, check out the tape that contains the chapter you are working on, and do the lab exercises. You may also record the tape and do the work in your room.
Requirements and Procedures: The schedule indicates what material is to be prepared for the class of the date listed, and when the exams will be given.
Students are expected to spend about two hours of outside study for each class hour. After each class, review the material covered in that class and then prepare the assignment for the next class. For reading assignments, review each passage enough times to be familiar with the new vocabulary and structures.
The exercises in the workbook and lab manual are due on the day of exams. No late work will be accepted. In the workbook, complete the written exercises, then correct your work by checking the Answer Key found at the end of the workbook. Make all corrections with a pen/pencil of contrasting color. Some sections are for your creative expression; therefore, no answer key is provided. Your instructor will check your work.
Absences: Attendance is the minimal requirement for class participation. Read the absence regulations in the Knapsack and keep a record of your absences. Each student may be absent a maximum of three times (unexcused) during the semester. The final grade will be lowered by one point (1% of the total) for each absence over. Attendance will be taken every day. Absences for illness can be excused only if you meet the requirements of the Knapsack. If you are late for class, it is your responsibility to make sure you have not been marked absent.
Scheduled exams are not made up for credit after the date they are given unless the student has an excused absence. The final exam is to be taken by all students. It will be cumulative; that is, it will include work of the entire semester. Extra credit on an individual basis is not allowed.
Grading:
Exams..(3)..............................................................33%
Oral Presentations (3).............................................15%
Compositions (3)....................................................15%
Workbook/Lab Manual...........................................12%

Mesa Hispánica: On Wednesdays at 1:00 in Greenville Dining Hall the Spanish professors and assistants converse in Spanish during lunch. Students in all Spanish classes are invited to join the group for informal practice in a relaxed setting.
Honor System: Please be familiar with the provisions of the PC Honor Code (see the Knapsack). The Honor Code is important. Please abide by it. The policy of the department of Foreign Languages is that a student who cheats will receive an "F" for the course.
