Course Description: A study of representative works and literary movements in Spanish (Peninsular) literature from the Middle Ages through the Baroque era. Students will learn to use the methods and language of literary analysis. Prerequisite: SPAN 202 or equivalent, SPAN 320 recommended. 3 credits.
General Education Goal(s) for which course is designed: ___3__________
Please attach the following :
(1) a completed General Education Course Planning Matrix.
(2) a proposed syllabus in SACS format. The syllabus should indicate in some detail how the course will satisfy each of the nine
(9) required General Education Course Criteria (pageXX) AND each of the student outcomes specified for this goal (page XX).
II. Required for a Major, Minor, Concentration (please specify): Required for Major.
III. Rationale
for Course: Currently the course is
offered every fall as one of two courses (SPAN 352 is the other) regularly
taught as an introductory level course for students interested in literature in
Spanish. As a survey of Spanish
literature, the course already meets all the outcomes for Goal 3 of the new
General Education Guidelines. Despite
the tremendous presence of Latino cultures—which draw heavily their literary
heritage from Latin American and Spanish literature—in the United
States, university curricula rarely include in their core courses that explore
these literary traditions. We therefore
believe the class should be included as one that would fulfill Goal 3 for those
students interested in exploring an important
aspect of our cultural heritage.
IV. Resource Assessment
A. How frequently do you anticipate offering this course? Once a year.
B. How many sections of this course do you anticipate offering each semester? One.
Each summer? 0
C. What class size do you anticipate for this
course? 23
D. Describe anticipated staffing for the course, including any
changes in existing faculty assignments:
None anticipated. This course
has had an average enrollment of 11 students the past 3 years. We don’t expect the number of students who
will choose this option to increase the class size beyond enrollment limits.
E. Estimate the cost of required new equipment: None.
F. Estimated cost of and description of
additional library resources: None.
G. Will this course require additional computer use, hardware or software? If so, please describe and estimate cost: There may be more students using the computers in the language lab, but we anticipate no need to purchase further equipment.
