As an alternative to independent grammar review, you may do a Community-Based Learning project. Grammar review will take place in class, as indicated in the syllabus. Grammatical competence, however, is only one aspect of communicative competence. Success in this class, regardless of the option you choose, will depend on the development of your functional language ability in Spanish. For more information, explore these links in the SPAN 082 Syllabus .
Portfolios are an alternative to traditional assessment.
Portfolios are graded globally, allowing the instructor to factor in learner progress. Your Portfolio will consist of 3 tape-recorded interviews with native speakers of Spanish. If you choose this option, you will report for an oral interview to be conducted in your instructor's office. Your score on this interview will replace your Final Exam grade.
