Spanish Civilization and Culture
Course Description
The course is designed for students to gain an overall view of the Spanish culture throughout its history. The class also teaches present-day Spain and its diverse manifestations. The aims are to initiate and educate the students in those topic fields which are not found in the other fundamental disciplines which make up the Hispanic Studies course, taking care to avoid any duplication. It would be impossible, given the time, to deal with all the topics of Spanish culture and civilization, so the aim is to give the students an overall view which may be broadened in some specific topics which are those which are proposed in a realistic way to be dealt with in class.
Course Reflective Narrative
I took Introduction to Spanish Civilization and Culture, SPAN 316. This course meets the MLO 3 Literary and cultural knowledge because the class teaches: Spain’s geography, history, and political system. The class included handouts, videos and maps to fully understand the material. The class was graded based on quizzes, a midterm, a final exam, and participation in class.
Some of the topics discussed in class were; Introduction to Spanish culture, Society and politics in its history and contemporary democratic political and Catholicism as Spanish identity. SPAN 316 was one of my favorite classes not only as it was my first class in CSUMB, but I also learned so much about Spain and the Spanish culture. A the en of the class, I left the with more knowledge but also wanting to research and learn more about Spain’s history.
