Columbus authored letters and a journal to chronicle his discoveries during his four voyages to what he thought was the Orient. Excerpts from his writings (in Spanish) are provided as touchstones for discussion, the objective being to determine how Columbus should be honored hero, villain or even saint (as some have advocated). Class is conducted in Spanish (intermediate to advanced level), as it is a Spanish conversation class.
Check to see if this course has posted a class outline or syllabus (LINK COMING SOON).
This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
