Throughout the course, they will conduct their own research project under the supervision of a specialist in the field. The course can be taught in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Have you ever doubted where Spanish came from? Or how did it become the language we know today? This course presents a detailed study of the external and internal history of the Spanish language in which this evolution occurred. Special attention will be paid to the linguistic progress of the language from its Latin roots to Modern Spanish and to the socio-cultural, historical, political and literary influence that have affected its linguistic evolution. The main features of the Spanish language evolution will be put in practice through a close reading of representative Medieval, Renaissance and dialectal texts. Taught in Spanish. (Offered every three years)

Practical introduction to planning, management, and delivery of academic projects related to teaching of the Spanish language. This course concentrates on core communication skills that students will adapt and apply to various contexts and projects. Through experiential activities, students will be able to deepen their understanding on how we negotiate institutional, societal, and global challenges in multilingual educational contexts.

Study of major currents in narrative fiction during the last twenty years, a period of return to democratic government, the relaxing of censorship and the opening up of Spanish culture. Analysis of works from several generations of male and female writers. Taught in Spanish. (Offered every three years)

A course on specific topics in Spanish studies, designed for advanced students. Course content and instructor are established on a yearly basis.

A course on a specific topic in Spanish American culture, designed for advanced students. Course content and instructor are established on a yearly basis.

Contemporary Latin American authors and visual artists will be studied through their work, online visibility, and also the institutional and discursive structures that facilitate and shape their production. In-class remote online discussions with some of the artists. Taught in Spanish. (Offered every three years)

Production, circulation and meaning of icons through Latin American literary and cultural contexts. Readings are selected from the period of independence to the present, and focus on the transformative ideological charge of cultural objects across geographic space and history. Focuses on political and socio-economic tensions between popular and elite spheres of cultural production, and on the risks and limits of iconographic representation. Taught in Spanish. (Offered every three years)

Detailed study of the major movements in Spanish-American narrative, including magic realism, fantastic literature, women's writing, and testimonial literature, through analysis of representative novels and short stories. Taught in Spanish. (Offered every three years)

Literature studied as a socio-political space for the articulation of new concepts of cultural identity; examination of cultural change and aesthetic innovation in selected poetic, dramatic, and narrative texts from different national traditions (Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico). Taught in Spanish. (Offered every three years)

This course integrates a series of contemporary debates in Latin American cultural studies with analysis of its transdisciplinary history and global permutations. Key topics of investigation within these debates may include indigeneity; coloniality, transculturation, and subalternity; empire, nation, and globalism; revolution, state discourse, and the popular; gender and sexuality; and the production of race. Taught in Spanish. (Offered in alternate years)

A unique opportunity for students interested in pursuing an in-depth study on a specific topic related to Spanish Studies, but beyond the scope of regular course offerings. The student, aided and advised by a faculty member in the Spanish program acting as supervisor, will produce a substantive written report on original and independent investigation of an appropriate topic. Students interested must contact the Associate Chair of Undergraduate Studies to learn about the process and request an application form. More details available in our website: https://www.spanport.utoronto.ca/ . Deadline for submission of application form is five business days before the first day of classes of the session in which student wishes to enroll in the course. Not elegible for CR/NCR.

This course, intended for students considering a program in Statistical Sciences, discusses the crucial role played by statistical reasoning in solving challenging problems from natural science, social science, technology, health care, and public policy, using a combination of logical thinking, mathematics, computer simulation, and oral and written discussion and analysis.

This course explores how our statistical intuitions and ways of thinking can let us down. There’s no need to be a math whiz to be a better statistical thinker. Everyone can become a more critical consumer of claims presented in media, advertisements and by politicians—especially those relevant to our own health and wealth. This course uses real-world examples and tours common and avoidable statistical traps and tricks. Restricted to first-year students. Not eligible for CR/NCR option.

This course examines the meaning and mathematics of probabilities, and how they arise in our everyday lives. Specific topics may include: the nature of coincidences, the concept of luck, games involving dice and cards, long run averages in casinos, margins of error in polls, the interpretation of medical studies, crime statistics, decision making, pseudorandomness, and Monte Carlo algorithms. Restricted to first-year students. Not eligible for CR/NCR option.

This course explores the impact Statistics has made and continues to make on everyday life through science, law, and the modern methods for information processing. Statistical principles will be illustrated using examples from real life including business, romance and health. Restricted to first-year students. Not eligible for CR/NCR option.

This course teaches non-science students the importance of quantitative reasoning to many different areas. It explores a variety of applications to such diverse subjects as economics, gambling, politics, poetry, graphics, music, medicine, demographics, sports, secret codes, and more, using only basic high school level mathematics combined with logical thinking.

An introductory course in statistical concepts and methods, emphasizing exploratory data analysis for univariate and bivariate data, sampling and experimental designs, basic probability models, estimation and tests of hypothesis in one-sample and comparative two-sample studies. A statistical computing package is used but no prior computing experience is assumed. Note: STA220H1 does not count as a distribution requirement course.

Continuation of STA220H1 (or similar course), emphasizing major methods of data analysis such as analysis of variance for one factor and multiple factor designs, regression models, categorical and non-parametric methods (Note: STA221H1 does not count as a distribution requirement course).

An introduction to probability using simulation and mathematical frameworks, with emphasis on the probability needed for more advanced study in statistical practice. Topics covered include probability spaces, random variables, discrete and continuous probability distributions, probability mass, density, and distribution functions, expectation and variance, independence, conditional probability, the law of large numbers, the central limit theorem, sampling distributions.
