Description of Course Policies
1. This course follows the AGMUS Ventures Discipline-Based Dual Language Immersion Model® designed to promote student’s development as a Dual Language Professional. Workshops will be facilitated in English or Spanish, strictly using the 50/50 model with the objective to ensure that 50% of the course will be conducted in English and 50% in Spanish. This means that each workshop will be conducted entirely in the language specified.
a. All aspects of language arts are developed: listening, speaking, reading and writing. For this reason, activities that seek growth in all four areas of language are included throughout the course.
b. Students will be evaluated regarding their writing skills as well as orally. Tasks will be distributed proportionally: 50% written (essays, short writings, discussion board forums); and 50% oral, using a voice recording tool (voice discussion forums and videos).
c. If students have difficulty asking a question in the target language in which the activity is being conducted, students may choose to use their preferred language for that particular question. This should only be an exception as it is important for students to use the assigned language. However, the facilitator must answer in the language assigned for that particular day. The 50/50 model does not apply to language courses where the delivery of instruction must be conducted in the language taught. (Spanish or English only).
2. The course will be conducted in an accelerated format and requires that students prepare in advance for each workshop according to the course module. Each workshop requires an average ten hours or more of preparation. It is also recommended that students access the course and check messages daily.
3. The student must prepare his/her tasks using the language assigned for that workshop, this will be orally or written according to specifications.
4. The student is responsible for submitting tasks on specified deadlines. a. Tasks will be submitted through the platform Blackboard used for the
specific course on due date, or before.5. The virtual participation in oral discussions and special written activities are
mandatory.6. If the student cannot send a task on the assigned date, he/she must present
the facilitator a reasonable excuse. If the student provides a valid and STAT 555 DL © Ana G. Méndez University System, 2011. All rights reserved. 10
verifiable excuse, the facilitator may determine to allow the student to make up the work or substitute it with an evaluation activity if he/she understands that an equivalent activity is possible. This activity must include the same content and language components as the oral presentation or special activity that was missed.
7. The facilitator may decide to adjust the grade given for late assignments and make-up work.
8. In cooperative activities the group will be assessed for their final work. However, each member will have to collaborate to assure the success of the group and the assessment will be done collectively as well as individually.
9. The academic honesty principle must be followed throughout the student’s performance in this Institution. It is expected that all oral and written work will be solely that of the student and should not be plagiarized. That is, the student must be the author of all work submitted. All quoted or paraphrased material (oral or written) must be properly cited, with credit given to its author or publisher. It should be noted that plagiarized writings are easily detectable and students should not risk losing credit for material that is clearly not their own (see Academic Honesty Policy at the Institution’s homepage).
10.If the Facilitator makes changes to the study guide (20%), such changes should be given to students in writing at the beginning of the first workshop.
11.The facilitator will establish a means of contacting students by providing an email address, phone number, hours to be contacted and days.
12.All students are subject to the policies regarding behavior in the university community established by the institution and in this course.

Teaching Philosophy and Methodology
This course is based in the Online Discipline-Based Dual Language Immersion Model ® and the Constructivism Theory. The AGMUS Ventures‘ Online Discipline-Based Dual Language Immersion Model® is defined as an academic offering that integrates activities and strategies designed to meet the professional and language needs of students that are physically separated but interact through the use of technology and electronic media.
This academic approach helps students develop dual language (Spanish and English) proficiency in their area of study so they can be bilingual professionals in their field. This model is accelerated, allowing students to fit their studies into their schedules.
The Online Discipline-Based Dual Language Immersion Model ® contains a balance of tasks performed independently and in groups involving communication with classmates and facilitator using several communication tools. These tools will enable to integrate reading and writing skills and help students interact with each other and strengthen their acquired knowledge.
In addition, online students will have the opportunity to engage in activities using voice tools, like voice e-mail, voice message, voice and video discussion board. This allows the facilitator and students to address, monitor and assess oral and listening language skills.
Also, this course is grounded in the learning theory of Constructivism. Constructivism is a philosophy of learning founded on the premise that, by reflecting on our experiences, we construct our own understanding of the world in which we live.
Each of us generates our own “rules” and “mental models,” which we use to make sense of our experiences. Learning, therefore, is simply the process of adjusting our mental models to accommodate new experiences. As teachers, our focus is on making connections between facts and fostering new understanding in students. We will also attempt to tailor our teaching strategies to student responses and encourage students to analyze, interpret and predict information.
There are several guiding principles of constructivism:
1. Learning is a search for meaning. Therefore, learning must start with the issues around which students are actively trying to construct meaning.
2. Meaning requires understanding of the whole as well as parts. And parts must be understood in the context of wholes. Therefore, the learning
STAT 555 DL © Ana G. Méndez University System, 2011. All rights reserved. 13
process focuses on primary concepts, not isolated facts. 3. In order to teach well, we must understand the mental models that
students use to perceive the world and the assumptions they make to support those models.
4. The purpose of learning is for an individual to construct his or her own meaning, not just memorize the "right" answers and regurgitate someone else's meaning. Since education is inherently interdisciplinary, the only valuable way to measure learning is to make the assessment part of the learning process, ensuring it provides students with information on the quality of their learning.
5. Evaluation should serve as a self-analysis tool. 6. Provide tools and environments that help learners interpret the multiple
perspectives of the world. 7. Learning should be internally controlled and mediated by the learner.

THE ESSAY
It is a written product where ideas are clearly exposed, analyzed, and commented on in a clear and concise manner regarding a theme or subject that the writer wants to cover. It usually contains an introductory paragraph, three or more paragraphs supporting the central theme, and at the end, a closing paragraph or conclusion. All paragraphs in an essay carry a central idea (theme sentence) together with other secondary ideas that support, explain, and amplify the central idea.
The objective of an essay is to present ideas, rather than to impose solutions. In other words the objective is to bring these ideas forward and to indicate possible solutions. An essay does not require that its reader be of a specific category or nature and its contents are normally clear and orderly (hypothesis, theme unfolding swiftly, conclusion, and recommendations) and it presents the author’s opinion.
Guidelines for Writing an Essay
An essay is a literary composition that presents the writer’s ideas about a specific topic. The basic steps for writing an essay are:
Think or brainstorm on the topic to be developed. Research on the topic. Use quotes and give the appropriate credit to your
resources. Plan on what you are going to be writing. You need to have in consideration
the audience (who you are writing for) and the purpose of writing the essay (why you are writing the essay). Make an outline of the principal ideas-The ideas in mind should be specifically related to the main topic.
Develop a topic sentence. It is very important to incorporate an introductory paragraph, which should be a general view of the topic. If the theme is implied in the topic, it should be read pointing out the key words.
Write ideas with specific details that will support them. These etails will support the main topic and at the end may help in the production of a good and relevant conclusion.
STAT 555-DL © Ana G. Méndez University System, 2011. All rights reserved. 20
Statistics for Decision Making/Estadística para decisiones 21
Use transitional words that will help to connect ideas from one paragraph to another and will help the reader to follow the flow of ideas in the essay.
Review the written document for grammar and spelling as this is necessary. Edit the document. Corrections should be made through the whole document. Last, read the essay as if you were the reader and not the writer. A good
example of this process is when you do a good exercise in comparing, contrasting, summarizing, explaining and/or relating the ideas to be sure there are no repetitions. The writer should guarantee the reader a good and clear message. Make sure that your essay has an introduction, a body. and a conclusion.

EL ENSAYO
El ensayo es una composición donde se exponen, analizan y comentan ideas alrededor de un tema de manera clara. Está compuesto por al menos un párrafo introductorio, tres o más párrafos de apoyo a la idea central del tema y un párrafo de cierre o conclusión. Todos los párrafos del ensayo giran en torno a una idea central (oración temática) y presentan varias ideas secundarías que sustentan, explican y amplían la idea central.
El objetivo de un ensayo es plantear ideas y señalar posibilidades. Entre sus principales características están: el no requerir un lector especializado para poder ser leído, claridad y orden de las ideas, secuencia que parte de una hipótesis, desarrollo del tema, conclusiones y sugerencias y, finalmente la presentación de la opinión del autor.
Partes del ensayoUn ensayo consta de un párrafo introductorio, tres o más párrafos de apoyo a la idea central del tema y un párrafo de cierre o de conclusión. Todos los párrafos del ensayo darán cuenta de una idea central expresada en una oración (oración temática) la cual habitualmente inicia el discurso y va seguida por varias ideas secundarías que sustentan, explican y amplían la idea central. Las partes del ensayo son:1. Párrafo introductorioEl párrafo introductorio contiene oraciones relacionadas con el tema que motiven y atraigan el interés del lector. A continuación se presenta la idea principal del ensayo, el planteamiento del problema o la formulación de la tesis (oración declaratoria) a sustentar. La oración declaratoria es el “qué” y el “quien” del asunto o el tema del ensayo; y da sentido y dirección a todo el ensayo. Este párrafo puede tener, de acuerdo al tipo de ensayo, la tesis a ser planteada, así como la opinión personal ó las opiniones de otras personas sobre el tema a ser desarrollado. También el planteamiento del tema puede
efectuarse en forma de preguntas que estimulen el interés, sin que sea
STAT 555-DL © Ana G. Méndez University System, 2011. All rights reserved. 22
Statistics for Decision Making/Estadística para decisiones 23
necesario responderlas en ese lugar aunque se ofrecerán las respuestas más adelante.
En una segunda oración se presentan a los puntos sobresalientes (los aspectos de las ideas centrales) a tratar en los párrafos del cuerpo del ensayo. Esta enumeración responderá al plan trazado por el autor en el desarrollo del tema y al mismo tiempo se convierte en una guía que le define una dirección al ensayo. A continuación se presentan las oraciones que complementan, amplían y sustentan la oración central, así como el interés y la importancia del tema.
2. Cuerpo (Párrafo de apoyo)
El cuerpo del ensayo es la parte donde se desarrolla y defiende la tesis planteada en la introducción. Debe tener no menos de tres razonamientos que refuten, prueben o evidencien el planteamiento expuesto en la introducción. Se asigna un párrafo aparte para cada razonamiento que refuta, fundamenta o defiende el tema principal del ensayo.
El párrafo de apoyo empezará con una oración temática que establece y expone la idea principal del párrafo. La idea principal es la que presenta el razonamiento de convicción. Para cada párrafo deberá haber una idea central y para cada idea central varias ideas secundarias que, a su vez; ejemplifiquen y sostengan la idea central. La oración temática determina el sentido y el desarrollo del párrafo.
3. Conclusión
En el párrafo final del ensayo se presenta brevemente:
Un resumen de los puntos principales. La reafirmación de la tesis defendida por el autor. Las posibles soluciones al problema planteado Las nuevas posiciones, los nuevos hallazgos que fortalecen la tesis del autor
y que refutan la posición contraria. También se puede:
o Insinuar, en forma de preguntas, expresar nuevos planteamientos y tesis que se deriven de la exposición. .
o Sugerir recomendaciones y señalar unas predicciones. Tipos de EnsayoHay varios tipos de ensayo, pero el que más utilizaremos será el expositivo. Ensayo expositivoExponer significa informar y presentar objetivamente los hechos y las ideas. Los STAT 555-DL © Ana G. Méndez University System, 2011. All rights reserved. 23

libros de texto, los informes científicos y técnicos, los escritos periodísticos y otros que dan cuenta de lo que sucedió o está sucediendo son exposiciones. La exposición es una de las técnicas de expresión más frecuentes a nivel universitario.El lenguaje expositivo se caracteriza por su precisión, su claridad y su objetividad. La exposición de algo o sobre un tema exige tener a la mano información abundante y vigente sobre lo que se va a exponer. Para desarrollar una demostración se utilizan uno o más de los siguientes métodos:
Definición: determinar y aclarar lo que el autor u entiendes u otras personas entienden acerca de un término o serie de términos.
Explicación de un proceso. El desarrollo de muchos temas, situaciones y objetos conlleva la exposición de un proceso que consta de varias etapas las cuales suceden en un orden determinado. Las enumeraciones (primero, segundo, luego, finalmente, etc.) son las palabras guías más apropiadas para describir un proceso.
Relación de causa y efecto. Se examinan y explican las causas, efectos y consecuencias de una acción.
Comparación o contraste. Se plantean las semejanzas (comparar) y las diferencias (contrastar) entre dos o más objetos o situaciones. El contraste y la comparación ayudan a entender con claridad los términos y objetos con los que se trabaja.
Ejemplificación e ilustración. Los ejemplos explican situaciones y proporcionan detalles específicos que ayudan a comprender el punto de vista particular.
División y clasificación. Para la división y clasificación del contenido se emplean diferentes criterios y principios, en sintonía con el tema que se esté exponiendo. La exposición de un problema social, por ejemplo, podría dividirse en estas tres partes: 1. La descripción del problema 2. Su origen y su consecuencia 3.
