Course Description and Objectives:

Second semester survey of Spanish Peninsular Literature. This course focuses on the Spanish Literature in the Iberian Peninsular, Spain. Readings of masterpieces by great writers chosen from the 18th century

to the present will be examined through lectures, oral discussions, and written reports in Spanish. We will be using the help of videos and the

Internet to provide historical context to the readings in each class. There is a first semester of this Survey with authors and readings from the Medieval Ages to the 17th Century.

Students will gain an understanding of the major characteristics of

Spain’s literary movements, as they do when using traditional anthologies, yet they will additionally discover why these movements emerged and how this phenomenon relates to other cultural and

historical events of the time period. Students will not only study texts in relation to Spain’s various literary movements, they will also gain an appreciation for these movements as contributors to the nation-building

project and will learn how these currents are simultaneously expressions of this plan.

Class protocol:

Besides completing the assigned homework, students are required to

read the assigned pages and to prepare other materials for the class in advance. In class, students are required to be involved in the activities and they must show their preparation by participating in the

discussions, by asking relevant questions, being critical and analytical with the contents presented in class as well as by sharing their ideas and

opinions. Requirements for this class:

1. Participation and Preparation: 5% 2. Outlines 10%

3. Reports (2) 10% 4. Exams (3) 30%

5. Oral Presentation (1) 10% 6. Proyecto Final (1) 15% 7. Final Exam (1) 20%

Grading Scale:

93-100 = A 80-82 = B - 67-69 = D+

90-92 = A- 77-79 = C+ 63-66 = D 87-89 = B+ 73-76 = C 60-62 = D- 83-86 = B 70-72 = C- 0-59 = F

The following items will be used to determine your final grade:

a. Participation and Preparation: Spanish 4620 meets 3 times per week for a duration of fifty minutes. This participation grade is not

earned just by being “seated” in the class but by active participation. Also attendance is required and continuous absences in this class will affect your final grade. After 3 excused or unexcused

absences 1 point will be deducted from your final grade for each subsequent absent after 3. Students must come prepared to class

everyday to be able to follow the explanations and to participate in any discussion we may hold in relation to the texts read for the class. Reading assignments and literary theory should be covered previously

to the class period. For more information regarding "Policy for Absences Related to

College Functions", please read section 5.23 (ATTENDANCE) at the DSC Handbook.

b. Homework and Outlines (varias): Students will hand in several

sets of homework previously discussed in class and several outlines

for the next day lecture. Also, as a help to study for their tests, it is required that students design these outlines for every time-period in the History of the Spanish Literature. I will pick up these outlines and

homework and grade them on a randomly basis.

c. Reports: Students will be required to write down one report per book read for this class (max. 3). I will grade these reports and give them back for exam preparation.

d. Exams (3) : There will be three in-class written tests (see Calendar for

specific dates), one upon concluding every section (time periods in the History of the Spanish Literature). The goal of these tests is to assess students’ ability to assimilate the material covered in class and the

reading assignments outside the classroom as well as analyze and interpret the text.

e. Oral Presentation (1): Students will present orally their draft version of one of their Final Project. The theme analyzed in their presentation

will be previously accepted by the professor. They will present some of the previous research, adding their own critical analysis. The oral part

will be the informal presentation of their final project and therefore, students will be able to show their enthusiasm for the chosen topic.

Visual aids are expected to ease the text and the topic to the rest of the students in the class. There will be a one-page final outline copy for all the students in the class. This presentation needs to be at least

10 minutes long and the DATES will be decided in class during the first weeks of the semester.

f. Final Project (1):

There will be a project (essay, performance, show, etc… ) towards the end of the semester consisting of three parts. The first part (no credit) is an outline of the topic to be studied in relation to a piece of work

from any of the periods/authors seen in class. This outline has to be approved by the professor in order to go on working. In this outline

the student has to state the title and pages of a literary work (narrative, poetry or drama), the theme or topic to be studied and at least three written secondary source for that study. After approbation,

the student has to prepare an informal approach to the text (see previous category d. Oral Presentation) and present it to the class. The final version of this essay is the final written paper. This written

part will need to be at least 4-5 pages long (bibliography counts in different page). There is no maximum length for this assignment.

g. Final Exam: the Final Exam in this class will be a comprehensive

exam consisting of questions about texts read in class, questions about time periods in the History of the Spanish Literature and critic response to some of these texts. Final Exam will be held according to

the Final Exam schedule and it may take from 1 to 2 hours.

NO TE ADMITIRAN TAREAS MAS TARDE DE LA HORA DE CLASE.

No se admitirán “problemas tecnológicos” como excusa para entregar las tareas tarde

Late and Make-up Work: Any activities or assignments missed due to an

unexcused absence will receive a grade of 0. No late work will be accepted and no make-ups will be allowed. In the case of officially documented excused absences I will determine how the missed work

should best be accounted for.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY (Policy 3-34):

34.1 Cheating: Academic dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated at

Dixie State College, including but not limited to plagiarism on written

assignments, submitting other person's work as one's own, and cheating

on exams or quizzes. Teachers at Dixie State College may discipline

students proven guilty of academic dishonesty by:

Primavera de 2010

34.1.1 Giving a failing grade on the specific assignment where dishonesty

occurred,

34.1.2 Failing the student in the entire course,

34.1.3 Immediately dismissing and removing the student from the

course, and/or

34.1.4 Referring the student to Student Affairs, a committee which may

reprimand, place on probation, suspend, and/or expel the student.

STUDENT BEHAVIOR (Policy 3-34.2)

Disruptive Behavior: Teachers at Dixie State College have the right to

manage the classroom environment to ensure a good learning climate.

Toward this end, teachers (or college security) may dismiss and remove

disruptive students from individual class activities. If a student's

behavior continues to disrupt class activities, the teacher may dismiss

and cause the removal of disruptive students from their course.

POLICY ABOUT ABSENCES (from the College Student Handbook):

5-23 ATTENDANCE

23.1 Regular and prompt attendance in classes and laboratory sessions is expected of

every Dixie State College student.

23.2 Attendance requirements are established by each instructor and such requirements

are enforced by the college.

23.3 An absence does not excuse a student from completing work missed.

23.4 It is the student's responsibility to find out which assignments are missed during an

absence.

23.5 Class Absences Related to College Functions

23.5.1 Attendance at class is an integral part of the learning process. Students who

are absent from class for any reason compromise their learning opportunities.

Students should make every attempt to register only for those courses for which

Primavera de 2010


7

they have no scheduling conflicts that will interfere with their ability to complete

course requirements.

23.5.2 Students periodically may miss classes for various college-related

functions; including athletics, club events, or to fulfill the requirements of a

course or a program. These absences often conflict with the instruction,

assignments, and tests in courses. The college seeks to maintain reasonable

guidelines that will enable students to participate in college functions without

harming the integrity of the curriculum in the courses they miss or undermining

the responsibilities and authority of the instructors of these courses. These

guidelines are intended to foster an environment that is supportive and sensitive to

the roles and needs of both students and faculty.

23.5.3 Students who must miss class because of a college-sanctioned activity,

such as an athletic event, club activity, class assignment, or other approved event,

are responsible to assuring that their instructors have been notified and for

completing any missed assignments.

23.5.3.1 Prior to the absence, students traveling with a club, team, or other

group on a college-sanctioned activity must request leave from their

instructors.

23.5.3.1.1 Students involved in a club event or an activity related

to another course or program requirement must provide written

notification from the faculty or staff member supervising the

activity that explains the nature of the activity. This should include

a list of eligible students and be provided in advance of the

expected absence.

23.5.3.1.2 By the second day of class, students with recurring

absences must provide each instructor written notification from the

appropriate department that includes a schedule of competition, the

names of those students on specific teams likely to travel, and the

dates and approximate times of departure and return to campus. So

that student participation in travel can be verified, the appropriate

department will be responsible for informing individual faculty of

changes to team rosters and travel schedules throughout the

semester.

23.5.3.2 Students must arrange with the instructor to complete missed

instruction and/or coursework.

23.5.3.2.1 One week prior to an absence, the student will meet with

the instructor to arrange a reasonable accommodation, if feasible,

to allow the students to complete any missed coursework and/or

exams. The instructor may require the student to submit work prior

Primavera de 2010


8

to the due date if the student will be absent. It is the student's

responsibility to complete the Student Absence Schedule with the

instructor and abide by it.

23.5.3.2.2 Students with recurring or frequent absences from a

course are required to check their schedules against the course

syllabus and provide a list of expected absences for the semester

by the second day of class. Upon reviewing the list, the instructor

may determine that the absences will interfere with the student's

ability to succeed in the course. If so, the instructor will

recommend that the student seek an alternative. If a student

chooses to remain in the course, it is the student's responsibility to

complete the Student Absence Schedule with the instructor and

abide by it.

NOTE ABOUT ABSENCES:

Exchange emails and/or phone numbers with one or two classmates.

They can let you know what you missed if you are ever absent and they

can also pick up a copy of any handouts that may be distributed in class.

If you are absent you should see another student to get a copy of any

handouts you may have missed. Otherwise you can stop by my office

hours for handouts you may have missed when absent.

CLASSMATE CONTACTS

Use these contacts in case of absence or if you have a question regarding

assignments.
