Spanish 1 is a course that requires a lot of discipline and practice. In this class phone use is not allowed but is not strongly reprimanded. Not everything makes sense but duoling is a good tool and so is the Spanish dictionary (google translate will be found out)

Donaldson is always on the phone or computer in class and misses a lot of ques. He dislikes most students. He does not tolerate miss behavior. Also if you have health issues that keep you out of school he does not offer much support. But he is a fun teacher on the annual Costa Rica trip.
