Objetivos: Esta clase tiene tres objetivos:

  1. ayudarte a mejorar la pronunciación del español,
  2. explicarte cómo la mente humana representa y organiza los sonidos del español, y
  3. mostrarte cómo el español varia en el mundo iberoamericano.

Resultados: Para que muestres tu comprensión de las metas, llevarás a cabo las tareas siguientes:

  1. Hacer una prueba casi todas las semanas: 11-1 * 7.5% = 75%. La prueba se hace los lunes en los primeros 10 minutos, sobre la materia dada desde el lunes anterior. Algunas pruebas tendrán una parte oral que se prepara con antelación. No se dan pruebas de recuperación, pero sí se puede suprimir una. Si me avisas con antelación de una ausencia, no se la contaré en contra
  2. Preparar un proyecto final: 25%.
  3. Participar en un experimento de EEG: puntos extra hasta el 3%.
  4. No hay nota de participación, pero si veo que participas mucho, puedo incrementar una nota final al que le falte poco para alcanzar el nivel siguiente.

Code of Academic Integrity

“The integrity of Newcomb-Tulane College is based on the absolute honesty of the entire community in all academic endeavors. As part of the Tulane University community, students have certain responsibilities regarding work that forms the basis for the evaluation of their academic achievement. Students are expected to be familiar with these responsibilities at all times. No member of the university community should tolerate any form of academic dishonesty, because the scholarly community of the university depends on the willingness of both instructors and students to uphold the Code of Academic Conduct. When a violation of the Code of Academic Conduct is observed it is the duty of every member of the academic community who has evidence of the violation to take action. Students should take steps to uphold the code by reporting any suspected offense to the instructor or the associate dean of the college. Students should under no circumstances tolerate any form of academic dishonesty.” For further information, point your browser at http://college.tulane.edu/code.htm. Violations of the Academic Honor Code will not be tolerated in this class. I will rigorously investigate and pursue any such transgression.

Students with disabilities who need academic accommodation should:
