Hi Decillon,

I’m not a student, but my son took a 200 level Latin American fiction class this past fall. He is a freshman who placed out of his language requirement with a 5 on the AP Spanish test. He had also taken a beyond AP Spanish Lit class in High School so he was well prepared.

He LOVED the class. I think there were only a handful of students in the class and the professor was great. He did not find it overly difficult but being able to speak well in the language was essential as part of the grade was class participation (all in Spanish). He said it wasn’t overly time consuming either, but then again, he was well prepared.
