• Las tareas orales (que se indican en el calendario con auriculares (
) se grabarán electrónicamente en el sistema de Canvas. • El proyecto en esta clase consiste en encontrar a un nativohablante de español y hacer una entrevista grabándola digitalmente. Se sugiere que la entrevista dure unos 20 o 30 minutos. Después, un trozo de por lo menos 400 palabras se transcribirá fonéticamente. (Esto vale unas dos páginas si pasadas a máquina a doble renglón). La transcripción puede hacerse legiblemente a mano, o se puede usar la fuente de letras del siguiente apartado). Estas grabaciones y transcripciones se compartirán con la clase el día miércoles, 10 de marzo. Se entregará en versión final el último día de clase, el 19 de abril. Hay un ejemplo parcial aquí.
• Se pueden encontrar casi todos los símbolos del alfabeto fonético internacional usando (en MS Word) "Insert Symbol" después "More Symbols" y buscando el símbolo bajo "normal text". También hay una fuente de letras para el alfabeto fonéitco internacional que se puede descargar de aquí.

| • Habrá una que otra prueba a lo largo del semestre. • De vez en cuando, se otorgarán, en clase, puntos de participación. • Las composiciones y otras tareas no se aceptarán de retraso; no habrá prórrogas. • Para sobrevivir y recibir buenas marcas en esta clase, es necesaria una participación entusiástica y asistencia constante. • Aunque sí, hay recursos y materiales para este curso en "canvas.weber.edu", esta no es una clase por Internet. • Por favor, manden emails a la dirección tmathews@weber.edu pero traigan sus ensayos y otras tareas a clase para entregarlas. • A menos que haya un acuerdo particular, no acepto tareas adjuntas al correo electrónico. |
| Los trabajos escritos y tareas • Todas las tareas se entregarán al principio de la clase. • Toda tarea, con excepción de la transcripcioón, se presentará hecha a máquina y a doble renglón. Debe haber márgenes de una pulgada y una letra de 12 puntos. • Es posible que el profesor devuelva una tarea 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. |
| Attendance Consistent, punctual attendance and enthusiastic participation are necessary to succeed and receive good grades in this class. |
| Late work & Make up Course work must be turned in on time and exams taken when scheduled. Assignments are due at the beginning of the period on the day indicated in this syllabus. Things WILL be accepted later that day (after class, in my office - EH 420, or to the department - EH 434) but with one letter grade reduction from what they would otherwise have received. Assignments turned in through the next class period, will be reduced by up to 50%. After that, papers may not be graded. Exceptions to this policy should be arrangned beforehand. |
| Some Information about Grades Grade Descriptions A Note on Curves If at any time during the semester you want an approximation of your grade, or if after the semester is over, you wish to know what grade you received, email the instructor at tmathews@weber.edu . Include your name and your student ID as well as a request for your grade. |
| 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. |
| 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. Look for announcements on your Weber State email account and at 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 Center for Students with Disabilities (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. |
| Core Beliefs 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. |
| 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. |
| Translation and Dictionaries The use of computer or internet translators (such as Google Translator or Spanish D!ct) will be considered plagiariasm. The use of a translator is almost always very obvious and will result in a failing grade on the assignment. In this class, you are expected to submit your own work, written in Spanish. Do not write in English and then translate. The result will always be inferior. Nevertheless, there are several good dictionaries online: • Spanish Academy Dictionary: http://www.rae.es/rae.html -- This is one of the most complete dictionaries of the Spanish language, including Spain and Latin America. • Word Reference (English/Spanish, etc.): http://wordreference.com -- This online resource will translate words between many languages. Especially helpful are the user comments which include discussions on the use and meaning of word and phrases. |
