It's late at night and I'm reviewing the syllabi I created for the two courses I'm teaching on S@S. I can't help but wonder what I was thinking! We had to submit these things a few months ago, to get UVA approval. As Director of Undergraduate Programs in Spanish, I found myself in the curious position of being asked to approve the courses that I myself had proposed. I should have been harder on myself! I should have pointed out that it may very well be humanly impossible to read two novels in Spanish in four days, while taking two other classes and doing things like sleeping and eating. But, then again, what else is there to do on a boat? Personally, the thought of reading by the pool, and being able to say
this is my job sounds quite appealing.
Take a look at my course syllabi through the links there on the left, and let me know what you think. Care to read along with us? The novels should be particularly fun, and most of them are available in English translation.
