Spanish 301 is
a four credit hour course. Three hours of credit will be given for
class
attendance and work. The fourth hour of credit must be earned by
completing
100 minutes each week completing lab assignments. While the
Foreign Language Training Center (FLTC) is under renovation, students
may need to use other labs on campus or work on Internet assignments at
home. It will be the student's responsibility to keep a lab log of time
spent. The lab assignments
are an integral part of the course since they provide students
opportunities
to improve their language skills through the use of authentic
materials.
Lab assignments for SP 301 include:
3) completing in 3 videotaped oral presentations (two will be based on conversational cards and will be done with a partner; one will be on the Internet readings described above in #1),
