Courses

The faculty has approval to offer the following courses in the academic years 2000-2001 and 2001-2002; however, not all courses are taught each semester or summer session. Students should consult the Course Schedule to determine which courses and topics will be offered during a particular semester or summer session. The Course Schedule may also reflect changes that have been made to the courses listed here since this catalog was printed.

A full explanation of course numbers is given in General Information. In brief, the first digit of a course number indicates the semester hour value of the course. The second and third digits indicate the rank of the course: if they are 01 through 19, the course is of lower-division rank; if 20 through 79, of upper-division rank; if 80 through 99, of graduate rank.

Department of Spanish and Portuguese

Credit and Placement by Examination

The placement test in Spanish is the University of Wisconsin College-Level Placement Test in Spanish. A student with no college credit in Spanish must take this test before enrolling in any Spanish course if he or she has taken two or more years of high school Spanish within the past three years. The three-year period is calculated from the date that the student completed his or her last high school course to the date of the student's intended registration. If the student completed two or more years of high school Spanish more than three years ago, he or she may enroll in Spanish 506 without taking the placement test. If the student wishes to enroll in a more advanced course, he or she must take the placement test first. Students who completed three or more years of Spanish in high school are encouraged to take the placement test, even if more than three years have passed since their last high school course.

Students who have taken Spanish courses at the University of Texas at Austin are not eligible to take the placement test unless they obtain approval in advance from the lower-division coordinator for Spanish, Batts Hall 110.

Spanish credit already earned is not affected by the results of the placement test.

All students with some knowledge of Portuguese should take a placement test given by the lower-division coordinator for Portuguese, Batts Hall 110.

Course Selection

1. A student with no knowledge of Spanish may choose from the following courses:
   1. Spanish 506, First-Year Spanish I, an introduction to the fundamentals of Spanish that emphasizes the four skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) progressively.
   2. Spanish 604, Accelerated Beginners' Spanish, which combines the coursework of the first two semesters, Spanish 506 and 507, into one semester. This course is intended primarily for graduate students, students in Latin American studies, language majors who wish to add a second language, and students who demonstrate exceptional language ability or scholarship.
2. A student with some knowledge of Spanish, but too little to receive credit for Spanish 506 through the placement examination, should take Spanish 506. Students with appropriate placement test scores may seek approval to take Spanish 306C, First-Year Spanish I--Self-Paced. Information is available from the undergraduate adviser, Batts 110.
3. A student who receives credit for Spanish 506 through the placement examination must take Spanish 508K, Alternate First-Year Spanish II, which begins with an accelerated review of fundamental structures covered in Spanish 506. This course then proceeds gradually, so that the student attains the same level of knowledge as students who take Spanish 507. Other students eligible to take this course are those with transfer credit for Spanish 506 and those who completed Spanish 506 at the University of Texas at Austin more than one calendar year ago.
4. A student who receives credit for Spanish 506 and 507 through the placement examination may choose from the following courses:
   1. Spanish 312K, Second-Year Spanish I: Oral Expression, Reading, and Composition.
   2. Spanish 612, Accelerated Second-Year Spanish: Oral Expression, Reading, and Composition, which combines the coursework of the third and fourth semesters, Spanish 312K and 312L, into one semester. This course is intended primarily for graduate students, students in Latin American studies, language majors who wish to add a second language, and students who demonstrate exceptional language ability or scholarship. The prerequisite for Spanish 612 is Spanish 604 with a grade of at least B, 507 or 508K with a grade of A, or an appropriate score on the University of Wisconsin College-Level Placement Test in Spanish; and written consent of the lower-division coordinator for Spanish.
5. Students with transfer credit or credit by examination for three semesters of Spanish (506, 507, and 312K) must take Spanish 312L, Second-Year Spanish II: Oral Expression, Reading, and Composition.
