COURSEWORK SAMPLES

In this section, you will find samples of some of the writings that I completed while attending Clemson. I have provided two linguistic examples that showcase my Spanish language skills, both essays written focusing on Spanish history. Additionally, I have provided a cultural competency sample, which is a reflective essay following my visit to the Alhambra in Granada, Spain, and also a literature competency example from my Contemporary Spanish Literature course. Lastly, I have provided two business competency examples, one from an Environmental Law and Economics course and the other from a Business Writing class. 

Linguistic Proficiency

Literature Competency

Business Competency

This is a short Spanish paper that I wrote in Seville in my Spanish Civilization and Culture class about a reading that we did on the legacy of the Roman Empire on Spanish civilization.

I wrote this short Spanish essay in my Spanish Civilization and Culture class that I took while I was abroad.  The paper focuses on the Gothic period in Spain and specifically the architecture style, which can be seen when examining the Seville Cathedral.

While in Seville, I took a Contemporary Spanish Literature course.  My final paper for the class was on Juan Ramón Jiménez's Platero y Yo.

Culture Competency

I wrote this paper for my Advanced Spanish course in Seville, Spain, after traveling to Granada and visiting the Alhambra, one of the most famous monuments of Islamic architecture.

This is a position statement from my Environmental Law and Economics course where I had to argue and support a stance on whether or not trees have standing.

In my Business Writing course, one of the final assignments was to write a Recommendation Report for a company, imagining that I worked for them.  My report was a recommendation to open a new branch of the Federal Reserve Bank in Jackson, Mississippi.
