5 . Spanish for Health-care Workers
Instructor: Dr. Lucia Mendez
Class schedule (日程安排)
The class is held in Room 203 every Monday and Wednesday evening from 6:30 to 8:15 p.m. You are expected to attend every class and to arrive on time. Please speak with the instructor about any unavoidable absences.
Assignments (功课)
We will use the text Spanish for Health-care Workers. Students are required to read one or more chapters before each class (see reading schedule). In addition, each student will prepare an oral presentation to give to the class before the end of the term. The Language Laboratory, Room 228, is open Monday-Friday from 9:30 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. In addition to attending class, each student must complete a weekly exercise in the lab.
Grading
There will be four to five tests throughout the term in addition to a midterm and a final exam. Missed tests or exams will count against your grade; there will be no make-ups. The breakdown for calculating (计算) each student’s final mark is as follows: tests and exams — 50 percent; oral presentation — 30 percent; class participation — 20 percent. A grade of B or higher is required to pass this class.
Assistance outside class
If you need extra help or would like to discuss anything with the instructor, my office hours (Room 320) are 5:00-6:30 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays. The Language Lab staff is also available to help you with your assignments. In addition, individual Spanish instructors are available.
