Syracuse University Spanish 201 at Camden Hills Regional High School
2013/2014
Welcome to SPA 201. This course is designed for students who have successfully completed
Spanish 5 and who wish to experience the additional challenge of taking a college course for
college credit while still in high school.

Class time and room: Red 4, Room 235
About the course:
This intermediate-level Spanish course is offered at CHRHS through the Department of
Languages, Literatures and Linguistics at Syracuse University (Project Advance). It is a onesemester four college-credit course that will be spread over a full year at CHRHS. It is a
proficiency-based course that reviews understanding of the formal structures of language, refines
previously acquired linguistic skills and builds awareness of Spanish culture. Authentic oral and
literary texts are introduced. The course uses film, TV/radio and literary texts in developing oral,
listening, and reading skills. Classes are conducted in Spanish.
By the end of the course, students can be expected to communicate effectively in Spanish:
giving and getting information, surviving predictable and complicated situations, narrating and
describing in present, past and future time, supporting opinions and hypothesizing comfortably.
Syracuse University charges tuition for this course at a reduced off-campus rate of $440 for four
credit hours. We will begin the registration process together in class. Each student will print the
registration form, have parents sign it and return it to me. The University will invoice parents
directly. Students might also be responsible for purchasing books at approximately $200. (In
2013/2014 books will be loaned to students.)

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
“Syracuse University sets high standards for academic integrity. Those standards are supported and
enforced by your instructor, SU faculty and Project Advance administrators. The presumptive
sanction for a first offense is course failure (SU grade of F), accompanied by the transcript notation
“Violation of the Academic Integrity Policy.” Students should review the Office of Academic
Integrity online resource “Twenty Questions and Answers About the Syracuse University Academic
Integrity Policy” and confer with your instructor(s) about course-specific citation methods,
permitted collaboration (if any), and rules for examinations. The Policy also governs the veracity of
signatures on attendance sheets and other verification of participation in class activities. Additional
guidance for students can be found in the Office of Academic Integrity resource: ‘What does
academic integrity mean?’” Your high school may also impose additional penalties for any violations
consistent with your high school's policies.
All work turned in for this class must be your own. While you may receive help from
acquaintances/dictionaries with words or short phrases, receiving extensive help from native/more
advanced speakers, copying texts from other sources and claiming them as your own, or using
electronic translators to convert your work into Spanish are considered cheating. Anyone engaging
in such activities will receive a 0 for the work in question and will be reported to the University for
disciplinary action. In addition, you will be subject to the provisions of the CHRHS Academic
Dishonesty Policy.

Turnitin
This class will be using Turnitin, a plagiarism prevention system. The Internet has made it very easy
for students to “cut and paste” material into papers that they are writing without proper citation.
Some papers that you write in this class will be submitted to Turnitin, a service that identifies
“matched text.” The resulting originality report will be interpreted based on your writing capability
and writing style. In this class, you will also be given the opportunity to submit your own papers to
Turnitin to check that all sources you have used are properly acknowledged and cited. Note that all
submitted papers will be included as source documents in the Turnitin.com reference database,
solely for the purpose of detecting plagiarism of such papers.
SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY GRADE SCALE
A = 94 and above
A- = 90-93
B+ = 87-89
B = 84-86
B- = 80-83
C+ = 77-79
C = 74-76
C- = 70-73
D = 60-69
F = 0-59
GRADING
Your grade will be calculated according to the following criteria:
25% = Class Participation
15% = Compositions (includes Cuaderno personal)
10% = Homework (includes Multi-media/Computer, Workbook assignments)
10% = Quizzes
10% = Oral Interview/Final Presentation
15% = Tests
15% = Final Exam
The grades on your CHRHS report card are more like progress reports. Only your final letter grade
will be reported to Syracuse University.
CLASS PARTICIPATION (25%)
Your attendance, punctuality, and active participation are required. You will receive a daily grade
(0-100 points) for participation and performance. A grade of 90-100 is reserved for a student who is
well prepared for class, is actively involved in ALL class activities and uses the target language
creatively and intelligently. A grade of 80-89 is earned by a student who is partially prepared for
class, but speaks English or does not participate fully and successfully; a grade of 60-79 is earned by
a student who is present but does not participate or a student who consistently uses English in class;
grades below 60 are earned by students who are unprepared or whose behavior impedes their own
learning or that of others (arriving late to class, being disrespectful to the teacher or to other
students, reading outside materials, chatting with others, doing homework in class, sleeping, and
other inappropriate behaviors); a grade of 0 is given for unexcused absences. Up to 5 absences will
be excused per semester in accordance with CHRHS policy.
COMPOSITIONS (INCLUDES CUADERNO PERSONAL) (15%)
You will be required to write one composition of 300 or more words for each of the seven chapters
3
we will study this year. All compositions must be word processed and double spaced to allow room
for comments. You will work in small groups to revise the composition drafts and you will then
have an opportunity to incorporate your classmates’ suggestions into a final version. A copy of the
grading rubric for compositions is attached to this syllabus.
Also included in this category is your Cuaderno personal, a series of essays that you will write
throughout the year. Three Cuaderno personal essays will be in response to activities in each of
seven chapters of Lectura y redacción. Your essays will be graded on how deeply you think about the
tasks assigned and on how that thinking is reflected in your writing. Some consideration will be
given to grammar, but those issues are secondary in grading the Cuaderno personal.
HOMEWORK (10%)
Your syllabus includes a calendar that contains daily assignments. You are expected to prepare
exercises for class from the textbook, workbook and other sources as assigned. All assignments are
due at the beginning of class on the day indicated. Late work is not accepted for credit. Please arrive
at class on time with your assignment already printed or submitted electronically.
At the Fuentes website listed below you will find self-correcting activities to help you internalize
the structures you learn in class. These activities will not work on your iPad, but you can use them on
other devices that have flash capability.

Your folder: I will collect all compositions, Cuaderno personal essays, quizzes, tests and other work
in a folder that you will receive at the end of the course. This folder is available to you at any time during
the year. Save this folder to show to the foreign language faculty at your college when requesting
transfer credit.
Visits by Syracuse University Staff: Once each semester a Syracuse University faculty member will
visit our classroom. This is an opportunity for him/her to see us in action and verify that we are
maintaining a university level classroom. The faculty member will review your folder as part of
these visits. Sometimes the faculty member will actually teach a portion of the class! The visits are
great fun and a wonderful opportunity for you to ask questions about studying languages at the
university level – en español, ¡por supuesto!
