For Language Students in 101, 102, 203 and 204 Level Courses
As part of the course requirements, students studying at the 101, 102, 203 and 204 levels are required to spend time in the Cultural Center using various resources to study the target language and culture. Whether visiting websites in Spanish, or learning about French culture from a DVD, or watching a movie in German or Hebrew, students in the Cultural Center are developing the lifelong habit of using foreign language skills in daily life.

Professor Comments on Cultural Center Hours Requirement
Brenda Calderon - Spanish 101, Spanish 102, Spanish 203, Spanish 204
Carlos Chale - Bonus hours are not accepted
David Farnsworth - All media should be in relation to the culture or history of Spain only, not Latin America. Using the Cumbres (or any othe media for that matter) for research for the class presentations can count toward Cultural Center hours if a record of time spent is kept.
Dr. Dean Helland - No movies in English with Spanish subtitles. Please listen to Spanish!
Christa Hill - Recommendations for Ger 101, 102, 203 or 204
Lenore Mullican - Special instructions
