Class meets once per week, so you need to study and do the homework on your own time and stay organized. In class Professor Boswell focuses on practicing what we have learned, and mostly has people work in groups which makes it easier. His grading is very fair, and has a great teaching style. He is funny and very helpful. Great teacher!

A lot of homework, but helps you when you're stuck. Do the discussions and read the textbook. Use outside resources as well. Keep notes for each lesson and write down the subtitles for the videos to understand them. Two presentations in Spanish that aren't too hard. All in all, easy in places hard in others.
