SPAN W 2 is the second of the three Elementary Spanish courses offered in a fully online format. Its online format combines technology-based language instruction with online class meetings and live guided conversation sessions. Course materials and activities focus on consolidating the same array of skills promoted in the regular Elementary Span II course. Students learn to use Spanish for communication in real, meaningful situations, develop an understanding of basic grammatical concepts and an appreciation of the various cultures of the Spanish-speaking world. Each week, students attend one online class session and one conversation session. There is individual work with the textbook, online materials, and other web-based activities.

CollegeSweet and supportive but a super tough grader. There's tons of homework and if you're not already great at Spanish you have to put in lots of work to keep up. Not a bad teacher by any means but the stress of the class isn't something I'd like to do again. Basically if you take her be ready to put in the work!
Profe Caragh is extremely kind and knowledgeable. This class was a good amount of work, but if you read the syllabus, you know exactly what is expected of you and can complete work accordingly. She answers her emails promptly and provides comprehensible feedback on the in-class writing assessments. I would definitely recommend this course!
She never really goes over the material in class. You are just thrown to the breeze to have discussions in Spanish while she does not help or assist in the learning in any way. You do not go over any of the homework so you do not know where you are going wrong and what you need to improve on until it shows up on your exam.
she throws you into the deep end, only talks in spanish which makes it hard especially if you don't have a strong Spanish background. SO MUCH HOMEWORK, literally over 200 homework assignments. There is an oral exam that has to be a 5 minute long convo which is a bit absurd considering this was an intro level course. I honestly dreaded this class
She was very sweet and amazing till our final grades were released. The average on the final was 60% and will not be curved, so goodbye to everyone's GPA's. Very harsh grading on midterm and final, especially for the first introductory Spanish class.
So brutal. She is a nice profesor, but this class was so hard. She graded very strictly to the rules and was not lenient at all compared to other teacher who were actually of Spanish decent. She was willing to meet outside of class, but would not help with essays.
