A printable version of this calendar is available by clicking here.
SQ = ¿Sabías que …? 4th or 5th edition (available at the Stanford Bookstore, on reserve in Green Library, and elsewhere)
Online Manual = online exercise manual to accompany ¿Sabías que …? available at http://books.quia.com. Instructions on how to access the manual come with your textbook. (Additional copies of the audio materials that accompany ¿Sabías que …? are available at http://thelab.stanford.edu/sabias/index.html and http://mhhe.com/sabiasque5.)
Using Your Online Manual: Doing regular practice exercises in your manual may seem tedious, but such consistent reinforcement helps solidify your Spanish and enable you to produce it with increasing automaticity. As such, you should plan to spend one or more hours daily on language exercises, activities, and/or home study. You will be required to complete several of the exercises in your online manual, as indicated in the calendar below. Specifically, for the first lesson of each quarter, you will be expected to complete all the exercises in your online manual in order to become acquainted with its various exercise formats and to decide which are best suited to your learning styles. After that, you will be expected to complete 8 exercises of your choosing from each lesson of your online manual.
A Note on Diagnostic Assessments (Quizzes): There will be six diagnostic assessments administered throughout the quarter. They will be based on weekly themes (as noted in the calendar), and will emphasize the most recent chapter under study but will also be cumulative. No make-up diagnostics can or will be offered. Instead, the lowest grade will be dropped from your overall diagnostic assessment grade, allowing you to miss a diagnostic in an emergency.
Oral Diagnostic Assessments: In addition to written diagnostics administered in class, you will also take a 15-minute oral diagnostic in the Digital Language Laboratory, on the second floor of Meyer Library, three times during the quarter. (See the ODA schedule to find out when your section is to do its oral diagnostics.) The diagnostic assessments are designed to track your improvement in oral proficiency as the quarter progresses. They will be graded on a pass/no credit basis. In order to pass, you will simply need to complete the assessment by responding to questions completely and spontaneously, without the use of reading or written notes. Reading (instead of speaking) responses will result in a loss of credit for that diagnostic. You will have a two-day window in which to complete your diagnostic, but we encourage you to do it as early as possible, as the Language Lab may become crowded with last-minute test-takers.
Portfolio Assignments and Composition Assignments: These enrichment activities are noted in the calendar below. For the specifics on these assignments, see the separate handouts at http://spanlang.stanford.edu/first_year/spanish3.html.
