S331   The Hispanic World I  (3 credits)
Prerequisite:  S310 or S311 or Equivalent

An introduction to literature in Spanish, with readings of
Spanish-American texts and discussions of three main genres
(narrative, poetry, drama), and with special attention to the
twentieth century. Students will be tested on knowledge of literary
history as explained in class, basic critical response to readings,
and ability to present independent research. As with all advanced
Spanish courses, a solid familiarity with all aspects of the Spanish
language is assumed and expected of the students. All discussion and
written work shall be in Spanish; the fluidity of the language will be
an element in the grade.

Students must be prepared to discuss in class the assigned readings
and integrate the instructor's explanations, further commentary, and
other material. In addition they will prepare three short (2 3 pages)
research papers of a critical nature, in Spanish, following the
guidelines the instructor will present. There will be a midterm and a
final.
