Spanish 3 Syllabus – Fall 2019
• Class grading scale, assessment categories and percentages can be found in the Spanish 2 & 3
policies document. It is your responsibility to read and understand the course policies that can be
found on the SBLP website: https://sip.la.psu.edu/blp/courses/syllabi-and-policies.
• All sections of SPAN 3 will cover the same topics on the dates listed in this document; individual
activities may vary by instructor. The pages indicated correspond to the Mosaicos textbook. If you
cannot attend a class, regardless of the reason for your absence, you will be responsible for
contacting other classmates to obtain any missed information. If you need further clarification,
schedule an appointment with your instructor to answer any specific questions you may have.
• Online assignments should be completed on Canvas or MySpanishLab, as indicated in this
document. They are due on Sundays at 11:59 p.m., unless stated otherwise in this document.
Technical problems are not an excuse for not completing these assignments. Plan accordingly.
If you have any questions about the content of the assignments, please email your instructor. If you
do not receive a response from your instructor within 48 hours (Mon – Fri) or 72 hours (weekends),
email the administrative supervisor, Borja Gutiérrez, at bxg207@psu.edu. If you experience technical
difficulties with MySpanishLab or Canvas please fill out the Technical Help Form at:
https://sip.la.psu.edu/blp/tech-support/helpform.
• There will be three writing assignments (escrituras). They must be a minimum of 85 words long.
Each escritura will have a first version and a final version. The first versions will be written in class
on the dates indicated in this document. When writing in-class escrituras, you will NOT be allowed
to use any electronic devices, but you can use your textbook, notes, and a traditional (paper)
dictionary. You may not copy sentences from your textbook or elsewhere. All versions of your
escrituras must be produced by you. They may NOT be written, corrected, or edited by anyone other
than you. Doing so will be considered plagiarism and you will receive a zero on the assignment (first
and final versions) and it will be reported to the College of Liberal Arts. The final version is a rewrite
of the first version, following the instructor’s comments. They are due at the beginning of class on the
days specified in this document. They must be typed with Arial 12 font, double-spaced, 1” margins
and printed out. If the final version is not typed, there will be a 0.5-point deduction in the assignment
grade. See the policies for more information on escrituras. Each version of the escrituras will be
returned to you corrected and graded one week after you turn it in. If you experience delays in
receiving corrected escrituras, please contact the administrative supervisor, Borja Gutiérrez, at
bxg207@psu.edu.
• There will be four closed-book exams in this course. Exams 1, 2, and 3 will include five sections:
listening comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and a 75-word essay. They
will take place at the Pollock Testing Center (https://www.testing.psu.edu) on the dates specified
below. You will receive an email from the Testing Center at least one week prior to the start of the
exam. This email will contain a link to the scheduling webpage where you will be able to select your
testing time slot. You will have 90 minutes to complete these exams. The day you’re taking the test,
you must bring your Penn State ID and your own traditional wired earphones with a 3.5 mm
jack. The Testing Center will provide you with a piece of bar-coded paper to use during the exam.
You must SCAN and RETURN the entire sheet of paper before leaving the Testing Center. Failure to
do so will result in a zero for your exam grade.
Exam 1: On Thu Sept 26 and Fri Sept 27
Exam 2: On Thu Oct 24 and Fri Oct 25
Exam 3: On Wed Dec 4 and Fri Dec 6
The fourth exam is the Oral Exam, and will take place in your classroom in week 15. See the policies
