Course Overview
This course introduces the student to the language and culture of the Hispanic World.
It provides the student with information of the language (listening, speaking, reading,
and writing) in order to interact and communicate with others while gaining a greater
understanding of and respect for the cultural perspectives, and products of different
cultures.
Absences
All students absent from class (unexcused or excused) are responsible for getting any
missed assignments or notes.
Unexcused Absence
In the event of an unexcused absence, any missed assignments or exams will receive a
"Z" as the academic grade.
Excused Absence
In the event of an excused absence, a student has 3 days to make-up any missed assignments or exams.
Make-Up/Late Work
Upon returning to school after an absence, a student has the responsibility to meet with the
teacher to develop a plan for making up missed work, quizzes, examinations, and/or performances. If the student does not meet this requirement, then the student will receive an incomplete which will affect their final grade.

Academic Honesty
You are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic conduct. When
you cheat, you are robbing yourself of knowledge, the learning experience and my
company. I will be holding you to high ethical standards to which you will be expected to maintain at all times.
You are guilty of cheating whenever you present work as your own and you did not do.
You are also guilty of cheating if you help someone else to cheat. Any student(s) who
is discovered cheating will receive a 0 for that assignment and have the work documented in their portfolio.
