10 Final Numeric Grade Average A A A B B B C C C D D D- 59 & below F Learning Goals and Objectives: This course builds upon your first two semesters of beginning Italian, expanding your knowledge and understanding of vocabulary, grammar, and Italian culture. You will learn and practice through a variety of course materials and activities designed for intermediate-level proficiency. If you study and participate regularly, by the end of this course you will be able to: (1) identify, describe, and discuss the main ideas and details from intermediate-level audio and video texts on a variety of familiar topics; (2) narrate short paragraphs in the present, past, and future; speak about plans, hopes, and wishes; and offer simple opinions using some conditional and subjunctive structures; (3) identify, describe, and discuss main ideas and details from intermediate-level written texts in Italian from a variety of sources (literary adaptations, newspapers, web-sites, ads, songs, etc.); (4) write short essays and other texts (responses, blog entries, etc..) with accuracy and coherency on a range of familiar subjects or topics treated in our texts; (5) demonstrate understanding (of facts) and basic analytical ability (via comparisons) of the cultural topics introduced and integrated in our coursework. Our hope is that your enthusiasm and confidence to communicate in Italian will grow steadily and we look forward to helping you reach these goals. 10

11 Important Policies and Information: 1. Attendance Students are allowed 3* absences, BUT we would prefer that you had none. Daily upkeep and contributions count for a lot in this class. *Each additional absence after 3, unless excused (e.g., illness when accompanied by a medical note or family emergency.), will lower your final grade by 2%. It is your responsibility to provide the medical note to your instructor within a week of your absence. The note must state that you were unable to attend class due to illness. We will not accept long term medical certificates unless they were processed by the Office of Disability Services for Students and delivered within two weeks from the beginning of the semester. *In evening sections the absences allowed are 2. *If you miss a class it is your responsibility to obtain homework assignments and notes from classmates. Lates. Of course, we prefer you come late than not at all (meglio tardi che mai), but three lates equal one absence. 2. Final exam policy: A student who: a) has NO MORE THAN ONE absence, and b) earns an average grade of 90% or higher on all three unit exams will have the option to be excused from taking the final exam. Students who earn and choose this option will be awarded a grade equal to the average of his/her three unit exam grades on the final exam, they must attend the class until the last day of the semester and do the final review. If you decide to take the final exam you will get the grade that you earn on it no matter if it is higher or lower from the average of three unit exams. 3. Make-up Assessments Make-up exams, quizzes, or other assessments. There will be no make-up exams or quizzes, except in extraordinary cases (e.g., illness accompanied by a medical note, family emergency, etc.). 4. Cutting and Pasting & Google Translator Cutting and pasting from any website without proper bibliographical citation even a two- or three-word phrase is considered plagiarism. Please do not even attempt this; it too will be considered an infraction of the University Honesty Policy. See your teacher right away if you 11

12 have difficulty expressing in Italian what you would like to say in your componimenti or presentazioni. Google Translator or any similar translation tools (human or electronic source) are NOT PERMITTED for any aspect of our courses and any evidence that they have been used will be considered an infraction of the University Honesty Policy (resulting in a 0 for the assignment and formal university consequences). Please do not even attempt this. It s just not worth it. 5. Class participation Class preparation and participation are VERY IMPORTANT components of this class and will help you to maximize your ability to communicate in Italian.

The computer graded assignments are for credit only and they will constitute 50% of your grade; the instructor graded activities will be for a grade and they will constitute 50% of your grade.

13 7. Daily Preparation You are expected to prepare and review the topics indicated under the column before coming to class. Watch the lectures that introduce the material (Canvas: Pages) prior to coming to class. This daily assignment is KEY to your success in this course! 12% of your final grade is your daily preparation: the instructor reserves the right to give pop quizzes at any time of the semester in order to check if you do the assigned work prior to coming to class. 8. Oral Exams Vary in format from individual conversations with your instructor, to individual or partner presentations/skits. Your instructor will announce and explain all relevant information at the appropriate time 9. Writing Assignments At least two of your writing assignments will be compositions of different genres (letters, stories, descriptions, etc.) to be completed during class time on writing workshop days. Your instructor will help you prepare and provide more specific guidelines when the day draws near. Your final writing assignment will be a collaborative project with one or more classmates to be presented also orally before the end of the term. All writing assignments involve a rewrite and resubmission phase, unless you receive an A (93 or higher) on the first draft, in which case rewrites are voluntary. Your componimento will be worth 40 points and your revisione will be worth 10 points. Failure to turn in revisione will result in a 0 for 1/2 of each assignment s grade. 10. Co-Curricular Activities / Cultural Events in Italian at IU We have a lot of activities every semester that promote Italian Culture. You have to attend at least one of them. Your instructor will inform you about all of them when the time comes. You can also learn about our program and Italian culture by liking our Facebook page: or follow us on 11.
