<p>zoomers, my mistake. I meant to say that I didn’t think ** I ** was graded in comparison to the native speakers in my class (which was about half native, half gringo). If you are in a 200-level course, you have to be at least close to fluent so it really doesn’t matter if there are native speakers in your class. If anything they’ll just help you learn more. And, for your information, I am not a native speaker.</p>
