The course:
The purpose of this course is to acquaint students with the Iberian Civilization: its people, Spanish life and culture from
the earliest settlers, through the Middle Ages and the Golden Age to present-day Spain. We shall study this country’s
diverse society (Christians, Jews and Muslims) as well as its distinctive regions and ethnic groups. Students will learn to
appreciate Art and architecture in Spain (La Alhambra, El Greco, Velázquez, Goya, Dalí, Picasso and Almodóvar).
Students will not only study Spain from a historical and intellectual perspective but will also be made aware of customs
and social aspects which differ from their own. We will be also reading about and discussing contemporary life in Spain
(women’s issues, the new democracy and the monarchy, family values, student life in Spain, among others).

Course components:
Participación en clase/ Foro:
The format of the class includes lecturing, group discussion, student presentations, discussion on readings and films,
quizzes, forums, etc. Students are responsible for all reading assignments and are expected to come to class prepared
for active participation in a discussion.
Engaged, intellectual participation in class discussion is fundamental both to your understanding and that of your peers.
To this end, you should take notes and think critically about the texts and media before coming to class. You will find
that if you bring all of your questions, opinions, and problems to the discussion, we all benefit from them. The class
format is driven by class discussion, with very few lectures, therefore regular class attendance is critical to your success.
Attendance:
Attendance is required. Students will be allowed three absences. All other absences will lower the final grade (each
additional absence will lower your final grade 1%). In the case of extended health or personal problems it is

Spring 2012
essential that you inform the instructor as soon as possible.
Presentación Grupo:
During the semester there will be a group project presentation. Each group (three students) will choose from a given
list of topics (each of them has an specific date).
Your group project consists of an oral class presentation of the research and a following debate. Each student will have
about 8-10 minutes for his/her class presentation. Basically, a group presentation with three students in it will take 2530 minutes. The group will be using PowerPoint so as to provide visual images and better highlight its conclusions.
After the presentation the group will start a debate with the rest of the class about their topic. Students are responsible
for creating material to promote discussion afterward.
You will be asked on the material presented by the groups in the exams, so good notes must be taken during
presentations.
Pruebas-Quizzes and Pruebas-Assignment:
There are four of each in this course. There is no final exam.
Missed tests and presentations:
As a rule, tests and presentations cannot be made up and papers cannot be submitted late. If a legitimate excuse—such
as medical condition or religious observance (please see below for information regarding religious observance)—will
prohibit you from attending class on the date an assignment is due or a test is administered, please make every effort to
contact me beforehand. Late submission and make-ups can only be guaranteed with prior consultation.

behavioral standards may be subjected to discipline. Professional courtesy and sensitivity are especially important with respect to
individuals and topics dealing with differences of race, culture, religion, politics, sexual orientation, gender, gender variance, and
nationalities. Class rosters are provided to the instructor with the student's legal name. I will gladly honor your request to address
you by an alternate name or gender pronoun. Please advise me of this preference early in the semester so that I may make
appropriate changes to my records. See polices at http://www.colorado.edu/policies/classbehavior.html and at

who, because of religious obligations, have conflicts with scheduled exams, assignments or required attendance. In this class, please

work. See full details at http://www.colorado.edu/policies/fac_relig.html
