Overall, this class is definitely helpful to students looking to advance in their career field and gain knowledge and confidence in professionalism. However, I think the course itself, or specifically the meetings, could be altered a bit because they are absolutely unbearable. Knowing that everyone there is a volunteer makes me really appreciate all that is put into this course, but in the meetings it just feels like a bunch of people talking at you about stuff they don’t even care about, in this corporate tone that almost sounds robotic.

The course content is interesting in general. However, the professor speaks in a very monotone and low voices that barely everyone can hear in his lecture. He also grades your exam and homework extremely hard and will talk down to you if you have talked to him or ask help.

This course was actually SPANISH 3501G but the content is the same. It discussed the varieties and dialectology of Spanish language as well as what some languages are in contact with Spanish. There are a lot of research practice homework which might be a bit boring but still a lot of interesting topics related to Spanish Linguistics. The works are manageable and also easier to do well.

This course is related to teaching Spanish as foreign language. You get opportunity to help your SP1030 professor in the classroom, complete the reading with some in person seminars and conduct your own Spanish lesson to the students of your section that you have worked with. The reading is sometimes challenging but is still okay to handle. This course is pass/fail graded so this is the best part because it does not impact your GPA at all.
