Take me to the Fall Time Schedule
101. Elementary Portuguese.
No credit granted to those who have completed or
are enrolled in Portuguese 100. (4). (LR).
This course is designed to give students the ability to understand the Portuguese of everyday life when spoken at a moderate speed, to be understood in typical situations of everyday life, and to
read non-technical Portuguese of moderate difficulty. Because
of the nature of materials, and the nationality and training of the present staff, students will learn the variety of Portuguese
spoken in Brazil by educated speakers. Classroom work involves
gradual introduction of Portuguese structure through dialogues
and communication exercises which stress listening and speaking.
Homework consists of studying grammar, memorizing structures and verb forms, and writing exercises. Grading will be based on six
hourly quizzes, two partial exams, oral exercises, homework, class
participation and attendance, and a final exam. Portuguese 101
is offered only in the Fall term. (Fedrigo)

Portuguese 102. No credit granted to those who have
completed or are enrolled in Portuguese 230. (4). (LR).
Second year Portuguese is designed to improve and expand the work
done in Portuguese 101/102. It aims at perfecting writing and speaking skills, and giving students a deeper understanding of the literature, history, and culture of the Portuguese-speaking
world. Classroom work involves an intensive grammar review, the
study of finer points of Portuguese grammar as made necessary
from daily observation of students' writing and speaking performances, oral presentations, and discussion of short stories, texts, and videos. Homework involves studying grammar, preparing oral presentations, and writing guided essays. Grading is based on quizzes, oral presentations, essays, class participation and attendance, and a final exam.
