COURSE DESCRIPTION:

SPANISH 101 REVIEW is a REVIEW class for students who have already been through Spanish 101 or something equivalent (usually one or two years of high school Spanish).  The main focus of the class is on reviewing the grammar and vocabulary that you learned earlier. 

For a more complete explanation of the expected outcomes for this class, see the Outcomes page of the COCC Foreign Languages web site.

EVALUATION:

Evaluation will be based on tests and Online workbook (Quia) activities (see below). 

You will be expected to read the grammar (language structure) on your own at the back of each chapter.  You will be responsible for knowing ALL the material in the book. This will prepare you to do well on your chapter tests.
