Week 4
Hey amigos, we’re almost half-way through the course. Can you believe it? Yo no lo puedo creer. This week, before our Tuesday night meeting you should complete ítems 8.1.1 strong preterites and 8.2.1 Stem changing in the preterite—watch the videos and complete the online Spanish workbook activities. These will help you to prepare for our Tuesday night meeting. Our Tuesday meeting will be located here: https://sas.elluminate.com/m.jnlp?sid=2011308&password=M.7CD4C9728B58AF52DC94991ACB9866
Before our Thursday night in-person meeting, remember, you should complete 8.3.1 and 8.3.2 having to do with indirect and direct object pronouns being used together. You should also complete 8.4.1 concerning vocabulary for chapter 8. Just watch the videos and complete the online Spanish workbook assignments prior to class. Here’s the Ustream link to our in-person class, if you’ll be following along at home: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/yc-spa-102-summer-2012
By Saturday night (5pm), June 30th, you should complete all of the assignments in the chapter 8 tab, including everything on the webpage labeled “8.5.1 Assignments”, all online Spanish workbook assignments, and of course your weekly Tweet and Voxopop recording.
Special Note: Many of you have not been doing assignments in Quia Web (www.quia.com/web). This is the company that administers your weekly evaluation activities, listening assignments, reading assignments and others. I’m not sure why you are not completing them. Instructions for setting up your Quia Web account are found in the “Getting Started” tab, but if you have difficulty, I have included the shorter version below as well. I assure you that it will be difficult to get a great grade without completing these activities. Here are the quick instructions, but for a detailed video tutorial and other instructions, please see the “Getting Started” tab.
-----------
Here are the quick instructions:
go to www.quia.com/web
then click on the big orange box that says "students" on the right, or use this weblink: (http://www.quia.com/web/studentZoneBegin.html)
then enter your username and password (the same ones that you use for your Online Spanish Workbook), then click "log in".
then you will see a new web page (if you have your username and password correct that is, if you do not, you need to get in touch with Quia support to find your username and password. I like to call them if the "lost password?" function doesn't work. They are really good over the phone. Here's their contact info: http://www.quia.com/web/contact_us.html ). At the bottom of this page you will see a box with the words "Class code" and then you will see a text box and then a button titled "Add class".
now, put our class code into this text field. The class code is: CGNMTB638 (also listed in your syllabus and in the "Getting Started tab").
Then click, the "Add class" button. You're in. Go back to the activity you were trying to get into and try again. YOu should have access now that you are signed up.

Thanks amigos. Va a ser una semana excelente! I’ll be excited to be in touch with you this week!
Con amor,
