SPAN 470

MASTERPIECES OF THE SPANISH GOLDEN AGE

Foreign Languages Department Fall 2011

Professor: Dr. Germán De Patricio Meeting time: M 5:00-7:40 Room: LA 4118

Office hours: LA 4142 MWF 12:00-1:00pm E-mail: [email protected]

PREREQUISITES: SPAN 301and 302 or equivalent.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: SPAN 470, Masterpieces of the Spanish Golden Age, is dedicated to studying Spanish literature with collateral readings. It is conducted in Spanish. This course will introduce students to the most important texts and authors in the history of Spanish literature. We will cover the most important authors of the Classical Spanish Literature: Cervantes, Quevedo, Lope de Vega, and Calderón. The objective of this course is to emphasize the relationship between the historical, political, ideological, social, and aesthetic contexts and the creation of literary expressions. Students will analyze a variety of literary genres from poetry, prose, essays, and theater. This course may be repeated only once without the prior permission of the Academic Standards Committee. LEARNING OUTCOMES: Students are expected to achieve a panoramic view of the history of Spanish literature with particular emphasis placed on approaching a literary work with an understanding of the context in which it was created. Students will have actively contributed to class discussions and participated in class activities, synthesized and expressed their understandings of course material in exams, and applied critical reading, analytical, research and writing skills in different assignments. All of these activities will have served to improve students’ Spanish comprehension and expression, both orally and in writing. In this course you will expand your knowledge of Spanish culture and literature by reading Golden Age Spanish literature. Reading and analyzing these texts, you will achieve a deep understanding of Spanish cultural complexity and rich diversity. Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to:

read Spanish literature from Golden Age period;

identify contributions made by Spanish literature and culture to the world;

analyze poetry, narrative and drama using specific terminology;

explain and interpret Spanish literature in relation to its context;

justify interpretations integrating information from various sources (the text, the context, the author, previous texts, literary articles, specialized books…)

ATTENDANCE POLICY: In order to meet these objectives it will be necessary for you to attend and actively participate in class discussions and activities. Students are responsible for making up all work missed during absences. Students may not make up graded work for unexcused absences. Excuses for absences must be submitted and appointments for make-up work made within 1 week of the time of return. Excused absences are the following: participation in a scheduled event as a member of a university-sponsored athletic/scholastic team (official absence form required); religious holidays; accident or illness (accident report or doctor’s note required); or a death in the immediate family.

Each unexcused absence after the first two (2) will reduce the final grade number by 2 percentage points.

EXPECTATIONS: Students should plan to spend at least half an hour a day reading and preparing for class. Due to the nature and the amount of readings students are advised to plan ahead and keep up with all readings and assignments following the course calendar. Students are expected to read carefully the texts before each class, to look up unknown vocabulary and to come prepared to discuss them. Participation in all in-class and Blackboard activities is essential. Students must be respectful and assist in the establishment and maintenance of a positive learning environment. Spanish is the language of instruction and students need to maintain its use. Students will make oral presentations and write essays in Spanish.

2

BLACKBOARD: The course Blackboard site contains the syllabus with the course calendar and assignments, alternative readings, grading methods, reviews and discussions. You will be contributing your own work to the class via the Blackboard site using the discussion board (Forum) as well as communicating by e-mail with your classmates. Check this site daily for announcements, reviews or extra practice.

STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: If you need accommodation due to a disability you need to provide the professor with a statement from Disability Support Services authorizing your accommodations. Disability Support Services is located in the Administration Building, 7720 York Road, Room 232. Website: http://www.towson.edu/dss/ Phone: 410-704-2638.

EVALUATION: In order to get credit for your work you must turn it in by the due date. You must also take exams and give oral presentations on the scheduled dates in order to get credit for them. Be sure to check the syllabus and Blackboard for specific dates and instructions. Feel free to contact the professor ahead of time if you need any clarifications. A passing grade for a major in Spanish is a C (73-76) or better. As of fall 2004, the plus/minus grading system is mandatory in all classes.

GRADING SCALE:

94-100 A 87-89 B+ 77-79 C+ 67-69 D+

90-93 A- 84-86 B 73-76 C 64-66 D

80-83 B- 70-72 C- 60-63 D-

0-59 F

CLASS PARTICIPATION: Will be evaluated daily in class according to the following criteria:

SUPERIOR (5) -Spoke exclusively in Spanish during whole class and group discussions -Contributed thoughtful ideas, initiated interesting debates, responded to classmates' and instructor’s questions. -Was listening attentively when others spoke -Showed respect and a positive attitude toward professor, peers and subject -Actively participated in all activities - Completed all the homework and came to class prepared

GOOD (4) -Spoke Spanish during whole group discussions, and rarely used English during small group activities - Contributed some ideas in whole class discussion, participation is sometimes limited to answering questions. -Was usually an active listener. Never interrupted. -Generally contributed actively to getting the task done in group work -Completed all the homework and came to class rather prepared.

AVERAGE (2) -Spoke mainly Spanish but used some English during small group activities. -In whole class discussion, sometimes did not answer instructor’s or peers’ questions

-Was frequently an active listener but sometimes didn’t listen while others talked. Never interrupted. -Contributed some work to getting the task done in group work -Completed all the homework. UNSATISFACTORY (1) -Used as much English as Spanish -Barely spoke during classroom discussions or group work -Didn’t contribute much to getting the task done in group

work -Passively participated in activities and discussions,

responding very minimally -Completed all the homework but was unprepared for

class. FAILURE (0) -Used more English than Spanish -Did not speak during classroom discussions or group work -Engaged in conversations in English during small group

work -Did not complete the homework. Unprepared for class. -Slept, read newspaper, talked about unrelated subjects -Did not bring materials required for class -Absent

HOMEWORK: Before you start reading the assigned texts, read the Preguntas de comprensión that your Professor will provide. They will help you focus on the important information while reading the text and will provide a good basis for discussion during class. Make sure that you have at least half an hour without distractions to read. Read everyday even if you get ahead in the syllabus because we will cover all the readings assigned. Complete all the questions that your Professor will provide -Preguntas de comprensión- because partial completion of the questions will result in no credit since it would imply you are not prepared for class discussions. Should any doubts arise while you are answering the questions, write them down together with what you think the answer can be and what makes you doubt in order to bring the question up in class for discussion. Always underline where you found your answer in the text to facilitate referring others during your explanations in class discussions. Not writing anything will be perceived as lack of preparation and no credit for that day’s homework will be received. You will need to turn in your questions each day of class.

3

Looking up vocabulary: Read and understand the Preguntas de comprensión before you begin to read the actual text. They will serve as indicators of what you need to pay attention to in your reading. Then read the first whole page without stopping. If you do not understand what is happening and cannot answer the questions, underline unknown vocabulary and look it up. Then read the whole page again. Proceed this way with all the text. Looking up vocabulary as it comes up will slow you down, interrupt your reading process and difficult your understanding of the text. THE FINAL GRADE in this course will be determined from the following components: -Cultural activities -10% of Final Grade Each student will participate in two cultural activities. Your Professor will provide a list of them. -Participation -15 % -Literary Terms -15% There will be 3 quizzes on the list of literary terms (5% each). One on Theater, one on Narrative and one on Poetry. -Exams 60% For each author there will be a written exam (Cervantes 12% - Quevedo 12% - Lope 12% - Calderón 12%). Students will turn in a written essay of 3 pages (12%). This paper must approach a text that has not been analyzed in class, and your Professor must approve your choice before you start writing. It is required to follow this procedure. No papers will be accepted without the Professor’s approval beforehand.

ESSAY: Along the semester you will select any peninsular Spanish author that we have not studied this semester, then find a text by this author and write a three page essay with your analysis of that text. Also find at least 2 journal articles and 2 books about the text and the author. Then write you own original analysis: First briefly introduce the author, the literary period and the text. Then analyze the text explaining the main idea, include the literary devices used and how they support that idea. Finally, justify how well this text fits within the characteristics of its literary period and its socio-political and cultural context.

EXAMS: Will contain activities to match the authors with their texts and their literary periods, identification of short passages, short answer questions and two essay questions.

Please be aware of the fact that these rules are “flexible” and it may be necessary to modify them during the course of the semester.

HOMEWORK. A regular assignment will be vocabulary:

Vocabulary: Before we discuss each chapter in class, each student is responsible for scanning it and looking up unfamiliar words. Then you are expected to keep a list of words with their corresponding definitions in Spanish, a picture or a drawing of the meaning (avoid English completely). Vocabulary will be checked the day we read the text in class. After doing this you will be better prepared to discuss your ideas in class in an informed way. This vocabulary list will also help you prepare for exams, compositions and oral presentations.

Oral presentations. There are two kinds of oral presentations: 1. Daily short presentations. Each student will sign up on a list to give a five-minute presentation one day of his/her choice. It will take place at the beginning of the class that day, and it will deal with the topic covered that day in class. 2. Final oral presentation: a. Groups of 2 people. b. Tema: “Visita virtual por una región de España” c. Each group selects a Spanish region and each student selects 3 important places to visit (6 places total) d. Each group prepares ppt/pictures with 8 slides (4 per student). Each slide should have 1 or 2 images and bullets with words (no

sentences), or write on blackboard. Each student explains the importance of each place. Spanish Films Tests. Most days we will watch a short fragment of a film or TV show made in Spain, related to the historical period we are studying. Students will choose one of those films or tv-show episodes per exam, watch it alone or in a group, and fill a survey provided in Blackboard on their content and their cultural characteristics. The films or videos are either available at Cooks Library or provided by the professor. Tests are due the day of the exam, but the movies can be watched any time.

Behavior. Cell phones, beepers, ephones, laptops, etc.: Please turn them off before coming to class. No food in class; however, you may have water, coffee, soda, etc. You can email me at whatever time you like, but if you contact me after 6pm or during weekends I cannot guarantee that I will be able to respond before class.

Your responsibility: For each credit hour, it is expected that you spend an average of 2 hours at home on homework and class preparation. You are expected to come to class having prepared the material on the syllabus for that day and ready to participate actively in class. Class will be conducted only in Spanish. It is your responsibility to let your instructor know if you do not understand and to consult him during office hours with any questions or concerns.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY:

The Academic Integrity Policy of Towson University is based on the premise that each student has the responsibility (1) to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity in the student’s own work, (2) to refuse to tolerate violations of academic integrity in the University community (like plagiarism) which will result in failure of the assignment or the course, and (3) to foster a high sense of integrity and social responsibility on the part of the University community. Students are expected to uphold the Academic Integrity Policy published on the Towson University Catalog.


SPAN 330: Análisis literario University of Virginia - Department of Spanish, Italian & Portuguese - Primavera 2009

MWF 10-11am

Profesor: Germán De Patricio

Correo electrónico: [email protected]

Horas de consulta: W 10.00-11.00am / R 3-4pm, o bien cita via email.

DESCRIPCIÓN DEL CURSO: Este curso intenta ayudar al estudiante a desarrollar las herramientas necesarias

para realizar una lectura analítica del texto literario; una lectura que capte el mensaje del texto como función

de las técnicas discursivas utilizadas para comunicarlo. Para conseguir este fin, se llevarán a cabo lecturas de

varios textos literarios tomados de varios géneros (narrativa, poesía, teatro), mediante discusiones en clase,

exámenes y trabajos escritos realizados por los estudiantes. Las técnicas y herramientas de escritura e

investigación que se aprenden en este curso son interdisciplinares, es decir, son útiles para otros ámbitos del

conocimiento. El estándar de estilo y redacción se basa en las guías de la MLA. SPAN 330 no es un curso de

gramática, sino de análisis literario avanzado. El idioma que se usa en clase es únicamente el español. Si un

estudiante no se ve capacitado/a para seguir el ritmo de la clase, se aconseja que hable inmediatamente con el

profesor en los primeros días del curso.

PRE-REQUISITOS: Mínimo, SPAN 311. ALTAMENTE recomendado, SPAN 312.

ASISTENCIA Y RETRASOS: La asistencia a clase es obligatoria. Se permite al estudiante faltar (estar ausente)

DOS veces en un semestre sin consecuencias para la nota final. Los retrasos se contarán como media falta.

Retraso significa llegar después de que el profesor haya pasado lista y llamado el nombre del estudiante. La

consecuencia de esto es que dos retrasos equivalen a una falta completa. Si un estudiante tiene más de dos

faltas al final del semestre, se le descontará un punto de su nota final por cada falta de más. Las únicas faltas

autorizadas por la Universidad de Virginia son: emergencia médica, fallecimiento en la familia, fiesta religiosa

y viajes atléticos oficiales. En estos casos se entrega evidencia escrita al profesor, que la conserva en su archivo,

y se habla con él para ponerse al día. La falta no autorizada es responsabilidad del estudiante, que deberá

consultar el programa (syllabus) y las notas de sus compañeros. Cualquier información que un estudiante se

pierda como consecuencia de una falta no autorizada es enteramente responsabilidad del estudiante. NO es

responsabilidad del profesor actualizar la información debido a una falta no autorizada, y esto incluye los

contenidos de la clase o cualquier cambio en el programa, anuncios que el profesor haga en clase, etc. La falta

no autorizada siempre afecta a su nota de participación: ningún estudiante con faltas no autorizadas recibirá al

final del semestre el 100% de la participación. Siete faltas no autorizadas equivalen a una nota final de F.

Notas: En esta clase no se puede comer, ni usar el teléfono móvil ni el ordenador.

DESGLOSE DEL CÁLCULO DE LAS NOTAS:

Lecturas, participación

10% de la nota final

PARA ESTE CURSO HAY DOS ASPECTOS

FUNDAMENTALES: LA LECTURA Y LA

PARTICIPACIÓN.

Hay que leer los textos señalados para ese día ANTES

de llegar a clase. Y hay que participar de manera

ACTIVA (y siempre en español) en las conversaciones

en clase. Los estudiantes recibirán una nota de

participación estimada junto con la devolución de su

primer examen, a fin de que puedan rectificar y

mejorarla antes del fin del curso.

La participación activa y frecuente en clase se

calificará con una A. (10%)

La participación activa pero infrecuente se

calificará con una B. (8% - 9%)

La participación puramente pasiva se calificará

con una C, D o F. (7% - 6% - 0%)

Actividades culturales


Cada estudiante participará en dos actividades

culturales (5% cada una). El profesor avisará de cuáles

serán estas actividades.

Trabajos en casa

5 % de la nota final Se pedirá a los alumnos que traigan hecho a clase un

trabajo que se asignará para hacer en casa.

Pruebas


Habrá 3 pruebas cortas sobre la lista de términos

literarios estudiados en clase (5% c/u). Una prueba

sobre términos teatrales, otra sobre términos de

narrativa y otra sobre términos poéticos.

Exámenes y ensayos


Para las secciones de poesía, novela y teatro se hará un

examen (14% - 13% - 13%). Para la sección de

narrativa corta se entregará un trabajo escrito o ensayo

(paper) de 3 páginas. (20%)

Los ensayos se realizarán sobre textos literarios de

narrativa corta no analizados en clase. Se elegirán los

textos de una lista que proporcionará el profesor.

Se debe consultar con el profesor la aprobación del

texto elegido, y se exige al estudiante que visite al

profesor en su oficina antes de empezar a escribir. Se

aconseja leer bien un texto antes de elegirlo, ya que

una vez pasada la fecha límite no se admitirá un

cambio del mismo. No se aceptará el ensayo de un

estudiante sin haber visitado antes al profesor en su

oficina.

No se puede usar bibliografía secundaria, sea impresa

o digitalizada, para estos trabajos escritos. Los ensayos

deben ser enteramente originales.

SPANISH 202 MWF ADVANCED INTERMEDIATE SPANISH FALL 2006

Instructor: German De Patricio Office hours: W 11.15 – R 3.30

Office: Wilson Hall 101 E-mail: [email protected]

Prerequisites: Spanish 201, SAT II Test score of 600-640, or Placement Test score of 410-535.

Description: Spanish 202 is a three credit intermediate level course, the fourth course in a four-course sequence which

fulfills the language requirement. The goal of this course is to bridge the gap between elementary and advanced levels in the

further development of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills.

Required Texts and Materials:

1. Pasajes: Lengua. 5th ed. Bretz, et al. Boston: McGraw-Hill, 2002.

2. Online Cuaderno de práctica. McGraw-Hill, 2002. on books.quia.com

3. English Grammar for Students of Spanish. 5th ed. Spinelli. Olivia and Hill Press, 2003. (optional)

4. Reading packet on Toolkit.

5. SmartCardz. (optional)

Grade breakdown: Participation & Homework 10%

Tests 30%

Final exam 20%

Compositions 15%

Cultural Activities 5%

Oral exam 10%

Quizzes 10%

1. Participation and Homework (10%).

Participation. Your attendance, daily preparation, and active participation in class will not only contribute to your

learning, but are also important factors in determining your grade. Students are expected to participate in Spanish

only during each class period. The instructor will monitor student participation on a daily basis. You will lose

points for speaking in English during class.

Homework. All online assignments from the Quia workbook and Quia lab manual must be completed as indicated

on the syllabus. Homework that is incomplete or late will not be accepted.

Readings: Students are required to complete the exercises that accompany each reading posted on Toolkit, be

prepared to hand them in, and to come to class prepared to actively discuss each reading selection. There will be

reading quizzes.

2. Tests (30%) and final exam (20%). There will be five (5) chapter tests and a final exam. No make-up exams.

Department policy dictates that exams be rescheduled only if the student has an official university excuse (academic

business, athletic team travel, religious holiday, death in family) and has made arrangements prior to

the exam. Failure to attend the final exam results in an F for the course.

3. Quizzes (10%). Pop quizzes will be administered at the beginning of class. Lateness to or absence from a pop quiz

will result in a grade of 0. There will be three (3) graded listening comprehension activities, quizzes on the reading

assignments, quizzes on the cultural presentations, and various pop quizzes based on the grammar and vocabulary of

the chapters studied. There are no make-ups.

4. Compositions (15%). There will be two (2) graded compositions written in class (use of a dictionary is allowed) and

based on the readings on Toolkit and discussions in class. These will be corrected by the instructor using symbols, and

then rewritten by the student guided by the symbols. Composition grades are based on the use of grammar and

vocabulary studied in the course as well as content, organization, and style. The grades for the compositions will be

based on both the first draft and the rewritten final version. There are no make-ups.

5. Cultural Activities (5%).

Cultural Event: Each student is required to attend one local event dealing with Hispanic culture and write a

typed, one-page essay on what he/she has learned. This should be completed before October 4. A list of

possible local events and essay guidelines can be found on the class Toolkit page. This activity serves as

practice for the compositions. No make-ups or late work.

Cultural Presentation: Each student will give a five-minute presentation in pairs on a cultural topic of their

choice. A brief proposal of their presentation topic must be turned in by September 8. A list of possible topics

and presentation guidelines can be found on the class Toolkit page. This activity serves as practice for the oral

exam. No make-ups or late work.

6. Oral Exam (10%). There will be a graded speaking activity at the end of the semester. Students will role-play a

situation in pairs. The topics will be similar to the pair and group activities practiced throughout the semester and may

be based on the readings done in class. Lateness to or absence from the oral exam on the date scheduled will result in a

grade of 0. No make-ups.

Course Policies:

The Honor Code. Spanish 202 students are expected to comply with the UVA Honor Code. All work is to be

pledged and completed by the student without assistance from classmates, advanced Spanish students, or native

speakers, unless otherwise indicated by the instructor. Tutors may answer specific questions after a student has

completed their work independently. Any violations of the Code in or outside class will be brought to the attention

of the Honor Council for appropriate action. For any questions about the Honor Policy as it relates to SPAN 202,

please contact Ms. Diane Gigantino at [email protected].

Attendance and Tardiness. Attendance is obligatory for Spanish 202. In order for students to progress in their

understanding and speaking of Spanish, they must be exposed to hearing and speaking it on a regular basis. You are

allowed three (3) free absences. Beyond that, for each additional absence, one percentage point will be deducted

from your final grade. An excess of six (6) absences, excused or unexcused, will result in a withdrawal from or

failure in the course. Students are expected to arrive to class on time. Being late to class counts as half an absence.

Assignment Deadlines. Assignments are due by the beginning of class as indicated on the syllabus. No late work

and no make-up work will be accepted. Students who will not be in class should complete their assignments ahead

of time. There are no make-ups for exams, quizzes, compositions, or the oral exam.

Your responsibility: For each credit hour, it is expected that you spend an average of 2 hours at home on

homework and class preparation. You are expected to come to class having prepared the material on the syllabus

for that day and ready to participate actively in class. Class will be conducted only in Spanish. It is your

responsibility to let your instructor know if you do not understand and to consult him/her during office hours with

any questions or concerns.

Spanish 102 — Elementary Spanish II

Summer 2009, 3rd session (7/9/09 - 8/6/09)

Schedule: MTWThF 9:15-12:15 Classroom: Cabell 335

Instructor: Germán De Patricio

Office: Wilson Hall 101

Office hours: after class and by appointment.

E-mail: [email protected]

I. Prerequisite

This course carries a prerequisite of Spanish 101.

II. Course Description

The primary emphasis in Spanish 102 is on the continued acquisition of communicative skills in Spanish.

This means that you will learn current, everyday Spanish that will enable you to express yourself in most

common situations. The course will emphasize all language skills: listening comprehension, speaking,

reading and writing. In addition, attention is given to Hispanic cultures through readings. The course will

continue the systematic presentation of the basic structures of the Spanish language begun in Spanish 101.

It must be well understood that learning a foreign language requires much more than committing verb

conjugations to memory. It is a cumulative process that requires your active involvement. Class is

conducted primarily in Spanish and you are encouraged and expected to participate in Spanish.

III. Textbooks

Puntos de partida. 7th

ed. Knorre et al. Boston: McGraw-Hill, 2007.

Workbook to accompany Puntos de partida.

As a student of Spanish, you must own a copy of both textbooks. You cannot rely on "borrowing" the books

from a friend. This is especially true of the Workbook, which provides an elaborate set of written exercises

that complement the material presented in class. The exercises are keyed to the various grammar sections in

the main text; therefore, you will have no difficulty in knowing what work to do each day. Tests will contain

questions similar in form and content to the exercises in the Workbook.

IV. General Information

1. Attendance and participation policy. Your attendance, daily preparation and active participation in

Spanish not only contribute to your mastery of the language, but also are important factors in determining

your grade. The instructor will monitor student attendance, participation and homework on a daily basis.

You are allowed one "free" absence in the Summer Session; beyond that, three percentage points will be

deducted from your final grade for each absence. As the course is intensive, any absences will be

detrimental to your performance in the class.

2. Tests. There will be four tests, as scheduled on the calendar. There will be no make-up tests. Spanish

department policy allows for tests to be rescheduled only if the student has an official university excuse and

has made arrangements with the instructor prior to test time. There will also be a number of quizzes.

3. Homework. You will turn in the homework from the Workbook on each day at the beginning of class.

The only way to master and prepare for tests is to practice the grammar points and for this reason you will

be required to complete all of the homework. Homework will only be counted if it is complete and corrected

in a different color ink.

4. Language Lab. Because the class periods are so long, the instructor will incorporate lab exercises into

the daily class work. We will try to maintain a lively variety of grammar drills, conversations, reading and

listening exercises. Students are not required to go the language lab outside class time. If you wish to go to

the lab (Cabell 221), it is open 9-5 M-Th and 9-3 F. It is closed on the weekends.

5. Honor Code. Students of Spanish 102 are expected to comply with the UVa. Honor Code, the pledge

implicit in each assignment and test you complete. Any violations of the Honor Code in class or outside the

class setting will be brought to the attention of the Honor Council for appropriate action.

6. ―Old Tests‖ Policy: You are not authorized to use old copies of tests to prepare for the tests in this

course. The class notes and worksheets, as well as your main text and workbook, will be sufficient to

prepare you for the tests.

7. N.B. The Department of Spanish, Italian and Portuguese supports an environment in which all students,

regardless of race, gender, age, religious affiliation, sexual preference or physical disability, are encouraged

to learn and develop their skills. If you have any comments, suggestions or objections in this regard, please

do not hesitate to contact your instructor. If you would prefer to speak with someone other than your

instructor, please call the Department Ombudsman at 924-7159.
