Gracias al COVID-19 y el distanciamiento social que nos tocó
en marzo, esta clase será 'virtual'; esto quiere decir que (a lo
mejor) no nos reuniremos nunca cara a cara y que todo el trabajo del
curso se hará en línea. Sin embargo, sí nos vamos a reunir
virtualmente mediante Zoom. Estas reuniones, se harán los martes y
jueves, empezando a las 8:30.
Aunque pueda haber excepciones, cada estudiante se presentará en
vídeo durante las horas de clase.
Escudriña la lista de asignaciones y tareas que se presentan en
Canvas, ordenadas por semana. Debido a que todas las asignaciones se
entregarán en Canvas, la puntualidad es importante.

Las composiciones
1.
Toda composición se compondrá de tres tareas:
a.
El borrador
(a 20 puntos)
Se entrega, en Canvas, una versión completa del ensayo.
b.
La revisión de un editor
(a 20 puntos)
Cada borrador será revisado por uno o dos compañeros de
clase. Estos podrán editar errores de lengua y comentar el contendido. (Nota
bene: si no entregas el borrador a tiempo, no podrás participar en la
revisión).
c.
La versión final
(a 100 puntos)
Considerando los comentarios de los editores, revisarás el
ensayo para entregarlo de nuevo en Canvas. Habrá un descuento de 10% por
cada día de retraso, hasta el cuarto día.
2.
El uso correcto de las marcas ortográficas es imprescindible.
Todo el
trabajo de la clase se entrega a doble espacio.
3.
Típicamente, las composiciones no deben sobrar de dos páginas, a doble
espacio. Debe haber márgenes de una pulgada y una letra de 12 puntos.
4.
La nota se basará tanto en el buen uso de la gramática y el vocabulario,
como en la originalidad y la buena práctica de las técnicas de la redacción.
5.
Si incluyes información que viene del internet o de fuentes bibliográficas o
periodísticas, tienes que citarla correctamente.
6.
Es posible que el profesor devuelva una composición sin asignarle una nota,
con esperanzas de que se refunda y se entregue de nuevo. En este caso, la
mejor nota que se puede recibir será una B.
Otros detalles importantes
·
Para sobrevivir y recibir buenas marcas en esta clase, es necesaria una
participación entusiástica y constante.
·
Por favor, manda mensajes mediante Canvas o manda emails a la dirección
tmathews@weber.edu
(siempre debes usar tu dirección que termina ...@mail.weber.edu)
·
A menos que haya un acuerdo particular, no acepto tareas adjuntas al correo
electrónico.
·
No se permite el uso de traducción de internet o con computadora. Lo que se
entrega debe ser tu propio trabajo y tus propias palabras (a menos que las
cites correctamente).
Late work &
Make up
Course work must be turned in on time and exams taken when scheduled. With
the exception of the exams, work may be completed and turned in early.
Assignments are due in Canvas at the end of the day indicated in the
calendar. Exceptions to this policy should be arranged beforehand.
·
Ejercicios (Quizzes in Canvas) must be completed by the Saturday
after they are assigned.
·
Written assignments turned in late may suffer a 20% reduction in points each
day. After that, papers may not be graded.
Attention
Spanish Majors
(or potential Majors)
During the last semester before they graduate, students who complete a major
in Spanish will need to submit a portfolio of examples of their work. This
is done in FL 4990--Senior Assessment (0.5). Therefore, we suggest that you
save your work in this class (compositions, essays, presentations, etc.) so
that you will have it accessible later on. Digital files are preferred.
Academic
Honesty
It is expected that students will submit their own work. A complete
description of cheating and plagiarism can be found in the
WSU Student Code
(Section IV, Part D, Paragraph 2). Plagiarism will result in failure on an
assignment or in the course, depending on its severity. On the other hand,
students are encouraged to collaborate on assignments and to have others
read their work and give comments and suggestions before turning work in.
Making
Recordings in Class
Video or audio
recording of any portion of this class is only permitted with authorization
from the instructor. Even with authorization, such recording may only be
used for personal review and study; the recording of the instructor, of
other students, or of the classroom may not be shared, posted or published
in any form whatsoever. Unauthorized recording is a violation of the Student
Code of Conduct, for which a student may be subjected to disciplinary
action. Students who seek to record for purposes of accommodating a
disability should contact Disability Services.
Emergency
Closure
If for any reason the university is forced to close for an extended period
of time, we will conduct our class via e-mail and through Weber online:
canvas.weber.edu.
Students with
Disabilities
When students seek accommodation in a regularly scheduled course, they have
the responsibility to make such requests at the
Disability Services
(SSC 181; tel. 626-6413) before the beginning of the semester in
which the accommodation is being requested. When a student fails to make
such arrangements, interim accommodations can be made by the instructor,
pending the determination of the request for a permanent accommodation.
Any disclosure by a student, orally or in writing, whether related to class
assignments or not, that communicates the possibility of imminent danger to
the student or others will be shared with appropriate authorities.
Core Beliefs &
Academic Freedom
Students are to determine, before the last day to drop courses without
penalty, if any course requirements conflict with their core beliefs. If
there is such a conflict, the student should consider dropping the class. A
student who finds this solution impracticable may request a resolution from
the instructor. This policy does not oblige the instructor to grant the
request, except in those cases when a denial would be arbitrary and
capricious or illegal. This request must be made to the instructor in
writing and the student must deliver a copy of the request to the office of
the department head. The student's request must articulate the burden the
requirement would place on the student's beliefs.
Title IX &
Services for Survivors of Violence
Any
student who is impacted by discrimination, harassment, interpersonal
(relationship) violence, sexual violence, sexual exploitation, or stalking
is encouraged to seek resources on campus or in the community. Here are some
resources:
·
WSU Affirmative
Action/Equal Opportunity · Title IX

Recycling
Policy
WSU is a leader in
sustainability. Please recycle the following
items on campus: plastics #1 & #2 (rinsed), cardboard, non-glossy paper, &
metal cans. For more information on recycling at WSU, go to
Energy & Sustainability Office.
Etiquette on
Zoom
Since this is a
'virtual' class, all of our interactions are likely to occur using Zoom.
While we work together online, these
suggestions may be helpful:
·
Attendance is
just as important on Zoom as it is in a normal face-to-face class.
·
Use your
camera so we can all get to know each other; certainly, if you have limited
bandwidth, if you need to tend to family, or use the restroom, etc., you may
turn off the camera. Also, you can turn off your camera during screen
sharing: such as a lecture, PowerPoint or student presentation.
·
Keep your mic
muted unless you have a comment or question. If it is your turn to respond,
say "sí" or "presente" or make a little cough to let us know you're still
with us; then we can wait for you to form your answer.
·
We will be
viewing a significant number of slides, photos and video during the class.
This can be viewed best on a desktop, laptop or perhaps a tablet. Please do
not make a habit of attending class on a mobile phone.
·
Similarly,
written compositions and other assignments cannot be composed and edited
adequately on a telephone.
Some
Information about Grades
EXCELLENT: An "A" student has
excellent mastery of subject material. Completes all course requirements on
time with precision and insight. Shows exceptional skill in manipulation of
concepts targeted in the course. Contributes to a stimulating classroom
environment by attending all class sessions, by participating in class
discussions and by interacting with other students. "A" students demonstrate
so much enthusiasm for course material that they go beyond assigned material
to discover new concepts or to acquire new skills on their own.
GOOD: Mastery of the subject.
Completes all assignments on time with precision and insight. Attends class
regularly and participates in discussions. All graded work shows above
average mastery of material.
STANDARD: Limited mastery of
the subject. Meets the minimum course expectations and demonstrates moderate
understanding of material on examinations and other assignments.
SUB-STANDARD: Borderline
understanding of the subject
FAILURE: Unacceptable.
INCOMPLETE: An incomplete is
never given when a student is failing the course. Generally, an "I" grade
will not be given in my courses, and exceptions will only be made in the
case of a legitimate reason (such as an accident or illness).

Life with COVID-19
Face Covering Policy
Faculty, staff, and students are required to
properly wear face coverings in all indoors and some outdoor spaces on
campus (see WSU COVID-19 statement on face
coverings).
Coronavirus Mitigation Protocols
Student Acknowledgement:
I understand the reasons for social
distancing, good personal hygiene, and requirement for face coverings in all
indoor and some outdoor spaces, staying home if I am sick, and other rules
as further outlined at weber.edu/coronavirus.
I will contribute to the health and safety
of the Weber State community by following the mitigation protocols required
on campus. These reflect the university's core value of respect for other
people.
I understand the risk of exposure to
COVID-19 and that no one can guarantee there will be no transmission of
communicable diseases.
I understand that I must follow mitigation
protocols and use common sense and wise judgment to help protect the health
of myself and others.
I understand that Weber State University
will make appropriate accommodations when warranted as well as enforce rules
according to existing policies (See
PPM
6-22,
Student Code, and
PPM
3-34,
Americans with Disabilities Act & Section 504 Request for Accommodation).
Violation of these requirements may result
in removal from the classroom or other spaces and may lead to disciplinary
action under the Student Code.
