Request for New Course EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY DIVISION OF ACADEMIC AFFAIRS REQUEST FOR NEW COURSE DEPARTMENT: WORLD LANGUAGES DEPARTMENT CONTACT: ROSEMARY WESTON-GIL COLLEGE: ARTS AND SCIENCES CONTACT PHONE: 7-0130 CONTACT EMAIL: RWESTON3@EMICH.EDU REQUESTED START DATE: TERM: FALL YEAR: 2012 A. Rationale/Justification for the Course: The Spanish Section has determined that a new course, Advanced Readings in Spanish American Literature, is needed on the graduate level. A similar course on the undergraduate level has existed for many years [SPNH 402 Advanced Readings in Spanish American Literature], but no equivalent on the graduate level has been available. Under the new configuration of our MA degree in Spanish, his new course [SPNH 502 , Advanced Readings in Spanish American Literature], will become a restrictive elective for students in our Master of Arts in World Languages-Spanish. We plan to offer SPNH 502 “piggy-backed” with the corresponding undergraduate SPNH 402. This “piggy-backing” arrangement will guarantee that this additional graduate-level course can actually be offered once per year, even if graduate enrollments are less than the minimum number needed to hold the course on its own. Graduate students Advanced Readings in Spanish American Literature course (SPNH 502) will be expected to perform at a higher level (e.g., exhibit a more advanced quality of work and class participation) and to do additional assignments (e.g., longer papers, extra research) than their undergraduate counterparts (taking SPNH 402).
