COURSE DESCRIPTION
This class is a continuation of practice and further development of essential listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills. Admission is either by placement or successful completion of 110.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
In basic beginning language classes, students often spend about an hour preparing for each class. In this intermediate level class, this means two hours of preparation per class day will be necessary, particularly if your background is not strong. If you have heavy work or family responsibilities, you are warned that taking a skills-building class like this one is going to be very demanding.
GOALS:
This course is a proficiency-based course, designed to teach you to communicate in Spanish. A proficiency-based course emphasizes what you can DO in a language, rather than what you know more or less passively. You will improve your skills in four areas:
A. SPEAKING: You will be able to "survive" in Spanish speaking situations by asking questions to get basic information and by being able to make your needs and desires known. You will be able to talk about yourself and other people around you, to talk about the university and your studies, to talk about your likes and dislikes, interests, and daily activities as well as your past and what you plan to do in the future, and other similar topics appropriate to a basic conversational level.
B. LISTENING COMPREHENSION: You will be able to follow conversations dealing with everyday topics, such as those covered in "Speaking," above. You will often be able to make guesses about what is being said, even though you didn't know all the words.
C. READING: You will be able to read basic texts written for Spanish-speaking people, such as simple magazine and newspaper articles. You will be able to get the gist of such articles as well as many of the details. When you don't know all the words, you will often be able to make correct guesses in order to understand a large part of what you read.
D. WRITING: In basic situations such as those in "Speaking," above, you will be able to express yourself in generally correct written Spanish, showing an understanding of the basic structures and spelling of the language.
GRADING AND VERIFICATION
Students will demonstrate competency in Beginning Spanish 1 by fulfilling the requirements listed below. The student should consult the section on Grading System in the current bulletin of USC-B. The professor will use the following numerical and letter equivalence:
A 90-100 Class Participation: 10%
B+ 86-89 Homework (Workbook &Lab): 10%
B 80-85 Quizzes (Pruebas): 20%
C+ 76-79 Project: 10%
C 70-75 Exams: 30%
D+ 66-69 Final Exam: 20%

Each student will be required to interview a Spanish person. The topic is open. You need to submit both the list of questions (12 –15 questions) you used for your interview and your notes on the answers of the interviewee. It is recommended that you practice asking your questions before the actual interview to facilitate the whole conversation process.

Español 210 –Otoño 1999
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This class is a continuation of practice and further development of essential listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills. Admission is either by placement or successful completion of 209.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
In basic beginning language classes, students often spend about an hour preparing for each class. In this intermediate level class, this means two hours of preparation per class day will be necessary, particularly if your background is not strong. If you have heavy work or family responsibilities, you are warned that taking a skills-building class like this one is going to be very demanding.
GOALS:
This course is a proficiency-based course, designed to teach you to communicate in Spanish. A proficiency-based course emphasizes what you can DO in a language, rather than what you know more or less passively. You will improve your skills in four areas:
A. SPEAKING: You will be able to "survive" in Spanish speaking situations by asking questions to get basic information and by being able to make your needs and desires known. You will be able to talk about yourself and other people around you, to talk about the university and your studies, to talk about your likes and dislikes, interests, and daily activities as well as your past and what you plan to do in the future, and other similar topics appropriate to a basic conversational level.
B. LISTENING COMPREHENSION: You will be able to follow conversations dealing with everyday topics, such as those covered in "Speaking," above. You will often be able to make guesses about what is being said, even though you didn't know all the words.
C. READING: You will be able to read basic texts written for Spanish-speaking people, such as simple magazine and newspaper articles. You will be able to get the gist of such articles as well as many of the details. When you don't know all the words, you will often be able to make correct guesses in order to understand a large part of what you read.
D. WRITING: In basic situations such as those in "Speaking," above, you will be able to express yourself in generally correct written Spanish, showing an understanding of the basic structures and spelling of the language.
GRADING AND VERIFICATION
Students will demonstrate competency in Beginning Spanish 1 by fulfilling the requirements listed below. The student should consult the section on Grading System in the current bulletin of USC-B. The professor will use the following numerical and letter equivalence:
A 90-100 Presentations 30%
B+ 86-89 Compositions 30%
B 80-85 Class Participation 10%
C+ 76-79 Homework 10%
C 70-75 Final Exam: 20% D+ 66-69 100%
D 60-65
F below 60
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance is required. Attendance is required. Attendance is required. No in-class work will be made up. Class participation grade is contingent on a regular attendance. Please read the statement on class attendance in the current USC-B bulletin. You will penalize yourself if you miss classes. Note that there are 30 class meeting hours including the first day. If you miss three, excused or unexcused, you will be penalized by a redaction of one letter grade on your final grade. ALTHOUGH, IF YOU DO NOT MISS A SINGLE CLASS HOUR, YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A SPECIAL BONUS.

COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
This course was proposed to make Women’s Studies available to the students of USC Beaufort, to enrich the BAIS (Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies) course offerings and to make Spanish literature and culture accessible.
This course is designed to introduce students to literature and works made by and about Spanish women from the period of the Middle Ages to the Twentieth Century. The study of the works by and about women will give students a historical perspective of women’s varying roles in society, and how these roles have evolved to where it is now. The themes of the works chosen range from the religious to the historical, and even the hysterical, but special focus will be given to the cultural evolution of women’s variegating roles is Spanish literature and art.
The first text to be studied is the medieval work Celestina by Fernando de Rojas where the woman acts as the mediator for a couple in love. The Sixteenth Century religious work by Saint Theresa of Avila, El Castillo interior will focus on the strength women provides society. The third part of the course concerns women portrayed as victims in the two different versions of Don Juan by Tirso de Molina during the Seventeenth Century and by Zorrilla during the Nineteenth Century. Excerpts from Carmen Martín Gaite’s Variable Cloud will be discussed for a modern day perspective of women. Other than literature, this course also intends to study how women are portrayed in the triumvirate of Spanish painters: El Greco (1541-1614), Velázquez (1599-1660), and Goya (1746-1828). The course will also include the renowned film entitled Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) about the stresses confronting modern day madrileñas.
The instructor has invited Dr. Larry Rowland, Dr. Efram Burk, and Dr. Carl Eby. Dr. Rowland, History Professor will give a short lecture on Spain’s history. Our Art History Professor, Dr. Burk, will give the students a background on the Spanish triumvirate of painters, El Greco, Goya and Velazquez. Dr. Eby, English Professor and Heimgway specialist will make a presentation right before the movie Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios.
COURSE GOALS
Through this bird’s-eye view of women in Spanish literature and the arts it is hoped that the class will acquire a stronger cultural perspective and understanding of the varying roles women have lived, giving the class a better grasp of their own current roles in society.
Upon successful completion of this course, students should be knowledgeable and proficient on how works on and by women influenced Spanish culture, and vice versa. Comprehension of Spanish is helpful, but NOT required; all readings and class discussions will be in English and all words and phrases in Spanish will be interpreted by the instructor.
GRADING, VERIFICATION AND ATTENDANCE POLICY
Classes will consist of both lecture and discussion on literature and culture. Student participation in class discussions substantiates the learning process. It is strongly recommended that students do their readings before coming to class. Attendance is important. Class participation grade is contingent on a regular attendance. Please read the statement on class attendance in the current USC-B bulletin. The final grade will be based on five compositions (35%), two quizzes/presentations (15%), class participation (15%), and a final exam or paper (35%).

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This class is a continuation of practice and further development of essential listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills. Additionally, this class will develop an understanding for commercial organizations and business in Spanish-speaking countries, business correspondence, terminology, and techniques in commercial transactions. Admission is either by placement or successful completion of 316.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
In basic beginning language classes, students often spend about an hour preparing for each class. In this intermediate level class, this means two hours of preparation per class day will be necessary, particularly if your background is not strong. If you have heavy work or family responsibilities, you are warned that taking a skills-building class like this one is going to be very demanding.
GOALS:
This course is a proficiency-based course, designed to teach you to communicate in Business Spanish situations. A proficiency-based course emphasizes what you can DO in a language, rather than what you know more or less passively. You will improve your comprehension of business in Spanish and your skills in four areas:
A. SPEAKING: You will be able to "survive" in Spanish speaking business situations by asking questions to get detailed information and by being able to make your needs and desires known. You will be able to talk about yourself and other people around you, to talk about business in Spanish and the cultural differences when doing business with Hispanic countries.
B. LISTENING COMPREHENSION: You will be able to follow conversations dealing with everyday topics, such as those covered in "Speaking," above. You will often be able to make guesses about what is being said, even though you didn't know all the words.
C. READING: You will be able to read commercial texts written for Spanish-speaking people, such as magazine and newspaper articles. You will be able to get the gist of such articles as well as many of the details. When you don't know all the words, you will often be able to make correct guesses in order to understand a large part of what you read.
D. WRITING: In situations such as those in "Speaking," above, you will be able to express yourself in generally correct written Spanish, showing an understanding of the basic structures and spelling of the language.
GRADING AND VERIFICATION
Students will demonstrate competency in Business Spanish 417 by fulfilling the requirements listed below. The student should consult the section on Grading System in the current bulletin of USC-B. The professor will use the following numerical and letter equivalence:
A 90-100 Pruebas 20%
B+ 86-89 Preguntas Orales 20%
B 80-85 Class Presentations 20%
C+ 76-79 Class Participation 10%
C 70-75 Homework 10%
D+ 66-69 Final Exam: 20%
D 60-65 100%
F below 60
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance is required. Attendance is required. Attendance is required. No in-class work will be made up. Class participation grade is contingent on a regular attendance. Please read the statement on class attendance in the current USC-B bulletin. You will penalize yourself if you miss classes. Note that there are 40 class meeting hours including the first day. If you miss three, excused or unexcused, you will be penalized by a redaction of one letter grade on your final grade.
Language study is progressive. If you miss quizzes or exams, you will need to do a make-up exam. All exams and quizzes (pruebas) are marked on the syllabus.
