Class participation is a very important part of your evaluation. You listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in the Spanish language will be evaluated in many ways. Most often you will have to demonstrate orally or in writing how to handle real communicative situations. You will need to come to each class prepared, having done your homework, whether it is written or oral. All written assignments must be typed and grammatically correct.
Computers have dictionaries and appropriate accents for Spanish.
You will be asked to prepare several drafts and edit and correct your work before you turn it in. This may require research, working on a script, practicing a skit, or any other assignment. Both oral and written skills in Spanish will be integral to these projects. You are expected to attend all classes.
