OVERVIEW OF SPANISH 102 [ELEMENTARY SPANISH II]
You have been placed in Spanish 102 because1. Youve successfully
completed Spanish 101 [at UC or elsewhere]2. You have taken 3 years
of high school Spanish with less than an A average3. You have taken
4+ years of high school Spanish with less than a B average4. It has
been a number of years since youve taken Spanish but youre not a
true beginner.
If you feel that you have been incorrectly placed, please see me
outside of class time.You may test out of 102 by taking and
receiving at least a 75% on a 102 final exam.If 102 is proving too
difficult for you, you may, with permission, drop down to a 101
class.
WAIT A WEEK BEFORE DOING SO! DONT PANIC OR UNDERESTIMATE YOUR
ABILITIES!
Spanish 102 assumes that you are familiar with the material
covered in 101:

What doesnt look familiar to you is easily found on-line and in
reference materials.
CLASS BEHAVIOR AND EXPECTATIONS:
1. Be on time. Arriving late is rude, disruptive and
disrespectful to me and to the rest of the class. 3 latearrivals
equals 1 absence.
2. Spanish is a spoken language and the only way for me to know
if and when you re speaking is ifyoure here in class. Therefore
there is an attendance policy:
* you have 3 unexcused absences [excused absences are for
College-sanctioned events and must beaccompanied by prior
notification]
* after 6 absences (2 weeks) I reserve the right to
automatically fail you, and you should drop theclass.
* If at the end of the semester you have perfect attendance, 3
points will be added to your overallgrade.
3. CELL PHONES OFF!!! LEAVE IT VISIBLE ON TOP OF YOUR DESK.If I
see you texting, I will consider it an insult [since youre
obviously not paying attention to me] and atestament to your
rudeness and immaturity. PHONES MUST BE ON TOP OF YOUR DESK
DURINGEXAMS! I will suspect the worst if I see you with your hands
between your legs during a test.
4. Cheating and plagiarism are serious offenses and will be
punished accordingly--F/F for cheating onyour
transcript/vivisection [look it up].DO YOUR OWN WORK! It will be
painfully obvious to me, and embarrassing for you, if your
bilingualfriend has done your work for you, and you will not
receive credit for that work. You also wont learnanything and isnt
that kind of the point of doing the work?Exams will have different
forms and the person next to you might not necessarily have the
same formthat you do.
5. NO GUM SNAPPING! It really gets on my nerves and it will
probably cause me to subconsciously hateyou and lower your grade.
Why risk it?
6. Please come to class prepared, or stay home. You should have
your books, paper, something to write
with, the assignment should be completed and ready to hand in.
If you missed the previous class, it isyour responsibility to find
out ASAP what you missed and what is due. Get the names, numbers
andemails of several classmates. The assignments and work covered
are readily available on the blog.WHICH IS NOT ANGEL.DONT EMAIL ME
ASKING FOR THE ASSIGNMENT OR MATERIAL COVERED. THATS WHAT THEBLOG
PAGE IS FOR. ITS NOT ON.....ANGEL.
7. Falling asleep in class is the same as being absent and will
be penalized accordingly. Youmay also be made fun of, possibly
decorated, and left behind at the end of class.

8. Never ever ever ask either of the following 2 questions: Did
I miss anything last class? orDid we do anything important in the
last class?OF COURSE YOU DID/ WE DID!!! Do you think we just sat
there waiting for you to show up??It was your responsibility to
find out BEFORE class what you missed. Check the non-Angelblog.
(This holds true for all of your professorsif you want to annoy
them, ask them one of those twoquestions.)
9. To keep things interesting, you may working in assigned
groups. These groups will be reconfiguredover 2 weeks or so. By the
end of the semester, you should have had the opportunity to work
witheveryone in the class.
10. My name is Professor Zee, Profesora Zee, Profe Zee or Dr.
Zee. I am not Miss Zee, Mrs. Zee oryo, Zee. Once you have your
degree you can call me Linda.
11. I have a somewhat dry, somewhat snarky, somewhat obnoxious
sense of humor. Get used to it.
GRADING
Please dont tell me [or any other professor for that matter]
what grade you need. If you need a B, dothe work and get a B. We
dont give grades. We add up the points of the work that youve done.
Atthe start of the semester, you have ZERO because you havent done
anything yet. In other words, youearn an A, not lose it.
EXAMS 50% There will be 4 in-class exams, a map exam and a final
exam, which is NOTcomprehensive [i.e. its exam #5]. I drop the
lowest exam grade, so if you miss an exam, thats the oneyou drop.
NO MAKEUPS.If, at the end of the semester youre satisfied with your
grade, you dont need to take the final.**The map test does not
count as one of the 5 exams and cannot be dropped.
HOMEWORK AND NULU 15% Homework is due on my desk at the
beginning of class. Late work, ifaccepted at all, will be penalized
one letter grade per day. NULU is due once a week. This is your
lab.Yes, its $25 a semester. But you did not have to purchase a
$200 text book, right?
MINIPRUEBAS 25% These are short quizzes on the material covered
in the previous class.They will be given at the beginning of class.
If you are late, you will not be given the quiz.Depending on how
many are given, one or more of the lowest grades will be
dropped.
ORAL EXAMS 10% More information to come.
