We anticipate no serious problems although the lack of grade inflation in Spain will cause some requests for re-evaluation of exams. Since most of the eleven are still here, they will meet with the instructor to review the exam. If the instructor agrees to accept some type of added work, Council does not object but, we will never ask that the ALA participant be treated as anything more than another student in an instructor's class. To do so would distort the purpose of Advanced Liberal Arts. Spanish faculty respect our students because they accept the norms that govern life at university in Spain.
Spanish faculty tend to be user-friendly.
Through the tutorials they get to know the ALA participant and the student quickly understands that here it is the professor who sets the level. They respond and do it well. The ALA students take part in a wide variety of outside activities organized for them by Angel de la Quinta. Angel's calling as a staff member is to identify outside activities. These tend to be identified according to the participant's personal interests and class studies.
