Course Description

This is the first literature/culture course most students will take and it constitutes a crucial link between previous courses in language and culture and upper-division courses in literature and culture. This course is not a historical survey, but rather an introduction to the various problems of reading different types (genres) of literary and cultural texts in the Spanish language. The curriculum includes Spanish-language writers from both Spain and Spanish America, and different types of cultural texts (including film) from the twentieth century, as well as a sampling of older texts. The course will be conducted in Spanish.

Academic Misconduct

Academic misconduct is defined as any activity which tends to compromise the academic integrity of the institution, or subvert the educational process. All suspected cases of academic misconduct will be reported to the Committee on Academic Misconduct as required by University rules. Such instances include, but are not limited to: plagiarism (representing as one's own work anything done by another), cheating on assignments or examinations, collusion, falsification of excuses, submitting work from a previous quarter without explicit permission of the current instructor, violation of course rules contained in the syllabus or provided in class.

For example for a written or oral report you should use the vocabulary, grammar structures, and strategies you've learned. Paraphrase your information and DO NOT "cut and paste" whole paragraphs from the web. Work submitted must be in your own words. "Borrowing" materials without citing sources is plagiarism

Anyone who feels they may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact me to arrange an appointment as soon as possible. At the appointment we can discuss the course format, anticipate your needs, and explore potential accommodations. I rely on the Office for Disability Services for assistance in verifying the need for accommodations and developing accommodation strategies. If you have not previously contacted the Office for Disability Services, I encourage you to do so.
