Conjugation Test Policy
In order to ensure that students are well prepared for advanced courses in Spanish, a conjugation quiz will be given three times during the semester. These quizzes will include verb conjugations in the present indicative tense, the present subjunctive, the preterit indicative and the imperfect subjunctive. The first quiz will be given at the beginning of the semester and the second will be given at midterm. The grade on these first two quizzes will not count toward the calculation of the final grade for the course. However, the grade for the third test, to be given at the end of the semester, will affect the final grade for the course according to the following policy:
A score of 91% or better on the third quiz will not affect the final grade for the course. If the student achieves between 90% and 81% on the third quiz, the final grade for the course will be lowered by one grade level (for example, the final grade will go from an A to an A- or from a B- to a C+). If the student achieves between 80% and 71% on the third quiz, the final grade will be lowered by two grade levels (for example, from an A to a B+ or from a B- to a C). If the student earns 70% on the third test, the grade will be reduced by three grade levels (for example from an A to a B or a C to a D). If the student produces less than 70% of the correct conjugations, the final grade for the course will be F, regardless of any other coursework completed during the semester. This policy will be applied uniformly in all sections of Spanish 312, 301, and 304.
Calculation of Final Grade Based on Conjugation Quiz
100–91% — Will not affect final grade for course.
90–81% — Final grade will be reduced by one grade level (ex., A to A-)
80–71% — Final grade will be reduced by two grade levels (ex., A to B+)
70% — Final grade will be reduced by three grade levels (ex., A to B)
Less than 70% — Final grade will be F
