Course reflective narrative
I took this course during Spring of 2014 with Dr. Rafael Gomez. This class fulfills MLO 3, Literacy and Cultural Knowledge. This class covers a thousand years of Hispanic literature, which was very intense to cover the main and most important author. We learned about famous authors and poets that made great impact in Spain and in the rest of the world through their literary work. Every season we learned and discussed the lives and work of 2-3 authors. It was very hard to keeping with the class and to retain a thousand years of literature, but at the same time it was very satisfactory to learn all the different impacts and contributions each of the authors made to the world from the renascence period to the XX century. We had quizzes every other week which forced us to retain information and somehow connect it in a way that was easier to remember. We also analyzed each poem or story read, which allowed me to farther inquire into. I gained a lot of knowledge from this class. One of my goals is to study each author and their literary work more in depth to better understand how their work impacted the authors of Latin America.
