Advanced

This course is designed for students who have completed or tested out of a minimum of four semesters (or six quarters) of college-level Spanish. However, students must take a placement exam to determine the course level into which they will be able to enroll.

METHODOLOGY AND ASSESSMENT

The subject areas within the syllabus will be explored in class by means of lectures, text commentaries, and the analysis of audiovisual documentation, all of them designed to encourage the active participation of students at every step.

A final exam which will be set at the close of the semester aimed at measuring the degree of assimilation of the fundamental aspects of the syllabus content. The final grade, using the exam result of a pass or higher as a departure point, will be re-assessed in terms of the grades obtained from assignments and essays, related to aspects of the syllabus content, which would have been carried out as the Course progresses.
