This course was very useful as a refresher and as a tool to write essays for all the other course I took in Spanish. We focused on grammar and vocabulary to help us be more clear and precise in our writing. We talked about the tenses in Spanish from preterite and imperfecto to condicional. We had homework assignments every class and they were problems and exercises from the text. We also had to write two essays also from prompts from the text. For each essay we turned in the profesor would give it back revised and to get full credit we had to correct it and turn it in again, with this we learned about punctuation and grammar.
