Extra
credit policy
There is no such a thing as “extra
credit” in this course. However, I understand that sometimes students need to
make-up some missing points. To that end, I will provide 3 opportunities to do
so. Please check your “announcements” section on your Canvas regularly to take
advantage of these occasions.
No on-line
translator
Using a translator hurts your learning experience and is
considered a form of cheating. I deeply appreciate when you do your
assignments on your own. External
aid, such as an online English-Spanish translator, is not allowed in this
class. Why?
1.
It doesn’t know what NOT to translate
2.
It’s translates every word regardless of context or
nuance
3.
It’s translates to the most literal meaning
4.
It doesn’t know what the most appropriate sentence
structure to use is
5.
The grammatical structure is consistently different.

http://japanese.lingualift.com/blog/online-translation-good-or-bad/
If
you have questions, please consult the vocabulary section in each chapter of
your book or the dictionary. Also, I am more than happy to assist you with any
doubts you may have or by providing additional resources.
Online conduct &
etiquette
Be respectful of instructor and classmates at all time.
No vulgar or offensive language will be tolerated. Do not abbreviate words but
use correct spelling when typing in Spanish to be better understood by all. English IM and SMS lingo you normally use do not correspond
in Spanish and should not be used in our course. ¡Gracias!

comply with all regulations pertaining to academic honesty, defined as: An
