Descripción de las normas del curso
1. Este curso sigue el programa “Discipline-Based Dual Language Immersion
Model®” del Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez, el mismo esta diseñado
para promover el desarrollo de cada estudiante como un profesional bilingüe.
Cada taller será facilitado en inglés y español, utilizando el modelo 50/50.
Esto significa que cada taller deberá ser conducido enteramente en el
lenguaje especificado. Los lenguajes serán alternados en cada taller para
asegurar que el curso se ofrece 50% en inglés y 50% en español. Para
mantener un balance, el módulo debe especificar que se utilizarán ambos
idiomas en el quinto taller, dividiendo el tiempo y las actividades
equitativamente entre ambos idiomas. Si un estudiante tiene dificultad en
hacer una pregunta en el idioma especificado, bien puede escoger el idioma
de preferencia para hacer la pregunta. Sin embargo, el facilitador deberá
contestar la misma en el idioma designado para ese taller. Esto deberá ser
una excepción a las reglas pues es importante que los estudiantes utilicen el
idioma designado. Esto no aplica a los cursos de lenguaje que deben ser
desarrollados en el idioma propio todo en inglés o todo en español según
aplique.
2. El curso es conducido en formato acelerado, eso requiere que los
estudiantes se preparen antes de cada taller de acuerdo al módulo. Cada
taller requiere un promedio de diez (10) horas de preparación y en ocasiones
requiere más.
3. La asistencia a todos los talleres es obligatoria. El estudiante que se ausente
al taller deberá presentar una excusa razonable al facilitador. El facilitador
evaluará si la ausencia es justificada y decidirá como el estudiante repondrá
el trabajo perdido, de ser necesario. El facilitador decidirá uno de los
siguientes: permitirle al estudiante reponer el trabajo o asignarle trabajo
adicional en adición al trabajo a ser repuesto.
FINA 202 Mercantile Finance 7
Prep. 2004. Hamilton Cruz Rosa, SMP (EPM) Rev. 2008. María Vázquez, MBA (EPM).
Toda tarea a ser completada antes del taller deberá ser entregada en la
fecha asignada. El facilitador ajustará la nota de las tareas repuestas.
4. Si un estudiante se ausenta a más de un taller el facilitador tendrá las
siguientes opciones:
a. Si es a dos talleres, el facilitador reducirá una nota por debajo basado
en la nota existente.
b. Si el estudiante se ausenta a tres talleres, el facilitador reducirá la nota
a dos por debajo de la nota existente.
5. La asistencia y participación en clase de actividades y presentaciones orales
es extremadamente importante pues no se pueden reponer. Si el estudiante
provee una excusa válida y verificable, el facilitador determinará una
actividad equivalente a evaluar que sustituya la misma. Esta actividad deberá
incluir el mismo contenido y componentes del lenguaje como la presentación
oral o actividad a ser repuesta.
6. En actividades de grupo el grupo será evaluado por su trabajo final. Sin
embargo, cada miembro de grupo deberá participar y cooperar para lograr un
trabajo de excelencia, pero recibirán una calificación individual.
7. Se espera que todo trabajo escrito sea de la autoría de cada estudiante y no
plagiado. Se debe entender que todo trabajo sometido esta citado
apropiadamente o parafraseado y citado dando atención al autor. Todo
estudiante debe ser el autor de su propio trabajo. Todo trabajo que sea
plagiado, copiado o presente trazos de otro será calificado con cero (vea la
política de honestidad académica).
8. Si el facilitador hace cambios al módulo o guía de estudio, deberá discutirlos
y entregar copia a los estudiantes por escrito al principio del primer taller.
9. El facilitador establecerá los medios para contactar a los estudiantes
proveyendo su correo electrónico, teléfonos, y el horario disponibles.
10. EL uso de celulares esta prohibido durante las sesiones de clase; de haber
una necesidad, deberá permanecer en vibración o en silencio.
11. La visita de niños y familiares no registrados en el curso no está permitida en
el salón de clases.

Plagio
Apreciado (a) Estudiante:
La red cibernética (Internet) se considera una herramienta efectiva en el mundo actual. La
misma se ha convertido en un recurso donde los estudiantes y los profesionales pueden
encontrar, rápidamente información e investigaciones que otros han realizado. Esto puede
propiciar la tentación de utilizar lo que otros han hecho o investigado sin darles el debido
crédito por su trabajo. En un artículo publicado por la Universidad de Indiana, se indica que
utilizar ideas de otras personas sin darle crédito al recurso que lo produjo se considera
plagio.
Siempre que se utilice información de otras fuentes o recursos, es de suma importancia:
1. Dar crédito a las ideas, teorías y opiniones de otras personas o recursos.
2. Dar crédito a la persona o recurso de donde obtuvo tablas, gráficas, dibujos u otro
tipo de información o conocimiento para apoyar las ideas que expone en su trabajo.
3. Dar crédito si utiliza citas o parafrasea ideas que pertenecen a otras personas o
recursos.
Para más información visite la página:
http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/pamphlets/plagiarism.shtml
o simplemente busque información sobre plagio en: www.plagiarism.org.
Nota Importante: El plagio es un asunto serio y se considera una ofensa que tiene
consecuencias serias; que a su vez puede afectar su éxito académico y carrera
profesional. Existen talleres que le pueden ayudar a la creación de documentos y
evitar cometer plagio. Puede obtener información de las fechas y horas de dichos
talleres en el Centro de Recursos Educativos. Nuest ros facilitadores también le
pueden proveer información sobre cómo hacer sus tra bajos evitando el plagio.

Filosofía y Metodología Educativa
Este curso esta basado en la teoría educativa del Constructivismo.
Constructivismo es una filosofía de aprendizaje fundamentada en la premisa, de
que, reflexionando a través de nuestras experiencias, podemos construir nuestro
propio conocimiento sobre el mundo en el que vivimos.
Cada uno de nosotros genera nuestras propias “reglas “y “métodos mentales”
que utilizamos para darle sentido a nuestras experiencias. Aprender, por lo tanto,
es simplemente el proceso de ajustar nuestros modelos mentales para poder
acomodar nuevas experiencias. Como facilitadores, nuestro enfoque es el
mantener una conexión entre los hechos y fomentar un nuevo entendimiento en los
estudiantes. También, intentamos adaptar nuestras estrategias de enseñanza a las
respuestas de nuestros estudiantes y motivar a los mismos a analizar, interpretar y
predecir información.
Existen varios principios para el constructivismo, entre los cuales están:
1. El aprendizaje es una búsqueda de significados. Por lo tanto, el
aprendizaje debe comenzar con situaciones en las cuales los estudiantes
estén buscando activamente construir un significado.
2. Significado requiere comprender todas las partes. Y, las partes deben
entenderse en el contexto del todo. Por lo tanto, el proceso de
aprendizaje se enfoca en los conceptos primarios, no en hechos aislados.
3. Para enseñar bien, debemos entender los modelos mentales que los
estudiantes utilizan para percibir el mundo y las presunciones que ellos
hacen para apoyar dichos modelos.
4. El propósito del aprendizaje, es para un individuo, el construir su propio
significado, no solo memorizar las contestaciones “correctas” y repetir el
significado de otra persona. Como la educación es intrínsicamente
interdisciplinaria, la única forma valida para asegurar el aprendizaje es
hacer del avalúo parte esencial de dicho proceso, asegurando que el
mismo provea a los estudiantes con la información sobre la calidad de su
aprendizaje.
5. La evaluación debe servir como una herramienta de auto-análisis.
FINA 202 Mercantile Finance 11
Prep. 2004. Hamilton Cruz Rosa, SMP (EPM) Rev. 2008. María Vázquez, MBA (EPM).
6. Proveer herramientas y ambientes que ayuden a los estudiantes a
interpretar las múltiples perspectivas que existen en el mundo.
7. El aprendizaje debe ser controlado internamente y analizado por el
estudiante.

Description of Course Policies
1. This course follows the Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez Discipline-
Based Dual Language Immersion Model® designed to promote each
student’s development as a Dual Language Professional. Workshops will be
facilitated in English and Spanish, strictly using the 50/50 model. This means
that each workshop will be conducted entirely in the language specified. The
language used in the workshops will alternate to insure that 50% of the
course will be conducted in English and 50% in Spanish. To maintain this
balance, the course module may specify that both languages will be used
during the fifth workshop, dividing that workshop’s time and activities between
the two languages. If students have difficulty with 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. However, the
facilitator must answer in the language assigned for that particular day. This
should only be an exception as it is important for students to use the assigned
language. 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 is 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 of preparation but could require
more.
3. Attendance at all class sessions is mandatory. A student that is absent to a
workshop must present the facilitator a reasonable excuse. The facilitator will
evaluate if the absence is justified and decide how the student will make up
the missing work, if applicable. The facilitator will decide on the following:
allow the student to make up the work, or allow the student to make up the
work and assign extra work to compensate for the missing class time.
Assignments required prior to the workshop must be completed and turned in on
the assigned date. The facilitator may decide to adjust the grade given for late
assignments and make-up work.
FINA 202 Mercantile Finance 16
Prep. 2004. Hamilton Cruz Rosa, SMP (EPM) Rev. 2008. María Vázquez, MBA (EPM).
4. If a student is absent to more than one workshop the facilitator will have the
following options:
a. If a student misses two workshops, the facilitator may lower one grade
based on the students existing grade.
b. If the student misses three workshops, the facilitator may lower two
grades based on the students existing grade.
5. Student attendance and participation in oral presentations and special class
activities are extremely important as it is not possible to assure that they can
be made up. If the student provides a valid and verifiable excuse, the
facilitator may determine a substitute 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.
6. 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.
7. It is expected that all 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 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).
8. If the Facilitator makes changes to the study guide, such changes should be
discussed with and given to students in writing at the beginning of the first
workshop.
9. The facilitator will establish a means of contacting students by providing an
email address, phone number, hours to be contacted and days.
10. The use of cellular phones is prohibited during sessions; if there is a need to
have one, it must be on vibrate or silent mode during class session.
11. Children or family members that are not registered in the course are not
allowed to the classrooms.

community established by the institution and in this course.

Plagiarism
Dear Student:
The internet, although a very resourceful tool in today’s world has become a tool
where students and other professionals can find what others have done in seconds;
thus promoting or developing the temptation to use what others have done without
giving them the appropriate credit for their work. In an article published by Indiana
University, it was stated that using the ideas of others without giving proper credit to
the source of that information is considered plagiarism .
Whenever we use information from other sources it is extremely important that you:
1. Give credit to the person’s ideas, theories or opinions.
2. Give credit to a person if we use a chart, graph, drawing or any other type of
knowledge needed to support a paper.
3. Give credit to a person or source if we use a quotation or paraphrase ideas
that belong to them.
For more information go to http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/pamphlets/plagiarism.shtml
or simply search for the topic of plagiarism under: www.plagiarism.org.
Important Note: Plagiarism is a serious issue and i t is considered an offense that has
serious consequences; which in turn may affect your academic success and
professional career. There are workshops offered to help you when writing papers to
avoid falling into this serious matter. You can che ck for time and dates of these
workshops in the Learning Resources Center. Our fa cilitators can also provide you
with help when writing papers and/or assignments.

Teaching Philosophy and Methodology
This course is based 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 wholes as well as parts. And parts must be
understood in the context of wholes. Therefore, the learning 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.

Guidelines to Prepare the Portfolio
1. Determination of sources of content
The following, but not limited to, documentation will be included:
a. Projects, surveys, and reports.
b. Oral presentations
c. Essays: dated writing samples to show progress
d. Research papers: dated unedited and edited first drafts to show progress
e. Written pieces that illustrate critical thinking about readings: response or
reaction papers.
f. Class notes, interesting thoughts to remember, etc.
g. Learning journals, reflexive diaries.
h. Self assessments, peer assessments, facilitator assessments.
i. Notes from student-facilitator conferences.
2. Organization of documentation
Documentation will be organized by workshop, and by type of assignment within
workshops. Workshops will be separated from one another using construction paper
or paper of different colors, with tabs indicating the workshop number.
3. Presentation of the portfolio
• Documentation will be posted in a binder or in a digital version (e-portfolio).
• The cover page will follow exactly APA guidelines applied to a cover page of
research papers submitted at Metro Orlando Campus. This cover page will be
placed at the beginning of the portfolio.
• The entire portfolio will follow APA style: Courier or Times New Roman font,
size 12, double space, and 1-inch margins. See a “Publication Manual of the
APA, Fifth Edition”
• A log of entries that can be expanded with each new entry properly
numbered. The table, which should be located at the beginning, should
include a brief description, date produced, date submitted, and date evaluated
(Appendix F ).
• Introduction and conclusion of the income and outcome of the portfolio.
FINA 202 Mercantile Finance 45
Prep. 2004. Hamilton Cruz Rosa SMP, (EPM) Rev. 2008. María Vázquez, MBA (EPM).
• A list of references and appendixes of all assignments included will be added
to the end of the portfolio.
• The Portfolio Informational Sheet will be placed in the transparent front pocket
of the binder for identification purposes (Appendix E ).
4. Student-Facilitator Feedback Template: Progression follow-up
The final step in implementing portfolios, before returning them to the student or
school life, is sharing feedback with each student to review the contents, student
reflections, and your evaluations of individual items and all of the work together as
related to learning targets (Banks, 2005).
Facilitators will e-mail a feedback template to all students. This template will contain
information pertaining to weaknesses and strengths found in students’ portfolios
(Appendix I ). Facilitators will focus their attention on showing students what is
possible and their progress rather than what is wrong; however, this does not mean
that facilitators will not cover weaknesses and areas for improvement during the
conference. Facilitators will send this feedback template upon completion of
workshop one.
Students will also have the opportunity to respond to the facilitator’s feedback and
write their own comments and/or ideas of how to improve the quality of their
portfolios, and how to become better metacognitive learners on the feedback
template. Students will e-mail the template with their comments back to the facilitator
after every workshop.
5. Portfolio storage:
• Portfolio samples will be safely stored for a six-month term on campus.
• Students will sign an official document empowering Ana G. Mendez
University System with rights to use their portfolios with educational or
accreditation purposes during this term (Appendix J ).
• After this term, and if their authors authorize Ana G. Mendez University
System to discard their portfolios by signing an official document, portfolio
samples will be destroyed; otherwise, they will be returned to their original
authors (Appendix K ).
