SPAN 1001 and SPAN 1002 Intensive Spanish (5 credit hours).                                                          These hybrid, flipped courses meet 3x/week and are intensive course. Students are required to watch short tutorials, read and take notes on grammar topics and familiarize themselves with the vocabulary prior to coming to class. During class time, we speak Spanish from day one and focus on using the language. There are moments in which English is used for administrative purposes only. This learning environment requires a lot of autonomy on the student’s part; however, we also provide support throughout the semester to help students learn how to learn in this model.
