major learning outcome 4
secondary cultures other than hispanic cultures
In addition to the Spanish language and Hispanic cultures, the student demonstrates a general knowledge of a socio-cultural group other than a Hispanic one or mainstream American culture. The student develops a basic understanding of the ways of thinking (ideas, beliefs, attitudes, values, philosophies), the behavioral practices (patterns of social interactions) and the cultural products – both tangible and intangible (for example, art, history, literature, music) – of the second culture.

There are two pathways by which this outcome can be fulfilled:
- The student completes at least one upper division course whose focus is a socio-cultural group not reflected by a Hispanic culture. General areas to choose from are: literature, the social sciences (anthropology, geography, history, political systems), art history, music history and/or the second cultural group.
- With faculty approval, the student may opt for a more individual pathway, choosing to independently study, research and analyze the working components of the second culture.

mlo 4 reflective narrative
JAPN 305
The course, JAPN 305 fulfilled Learning Outcome four for my Spanish Major requirement. The professor was really nice and patient with us and taught us the importance on another culture. I really enjoyed this class because it opened up my eyes about how other cultures that are different from mine can also have some similar beliefs or similar ways of thinking. Previously to this class I had absolute no knowledge to the Japanese culture nor society and I am really thankful for this class because I was able to get an inside of their way of seeing certain topics such as religion, politics, traditions, and much more. At the end of each section taught we were asked to perform essays, presentations, and projects to see how much we have learned and what have we understood from each section. I was amazed that I was able to fully understand without difficulty each section and that I was able to have a grasp of Japanese society. We were taught that religion and culinary arts go by hand-in-hand and that is something that I believe has a similarity to my culture. Overall, Dr. Takahashi made the class flow with ease and enjoyable for any student taking the course.
