In Entrena’s [Spanish Level III Class] (1) When you come to class you will have to complete the Hagan Ahora (Do Now) to the best of your abilities everyday, after all you are reviewing the material from the day before. (2) Even if you are not sure what the answer is, she will not penalize you for trying. (3) Major Assessments include Projects and Exams. The projects are an extra chance to get your grade up if you did bad on an exam. One of the projects is to film a 3min+ video of you cooking a recipe in your culture. Although it was challenging, it is all just to help us practice speaking the language. (4) Her class moves somewhat quickly in the beginning of the year. Don’t worry because it will slow down. You will get many opportunities to practice your oral, listening, writing, and reading comprehension skills through the Classwork and Homework. (5) Throughout the year, you will get seat changes. If you are struggling in the class, she will notice and automatically move you towards the front of the class. This is for your benefit, as in my experience, I got the extra attention I needed to help me catch up.
Work mostly consisted of worksheets or notetaking, though none of the knowledge was really absorbed. Homework was incredibly tedious, done on a website and usually a waste of time. Incredibly stressful class considering how simple the subject actually is. You would probably have to study on your own time to understand everything.
