HISP 103 - Combined Beginning Spanish

Credits: (4)
HISP 103 is a beginners’ Spanish course that prepares students for the intermediate course HISP 203. It is for students who have never studied Spanish; or else completed Spanish 1 in high school; or who have placed into this level via online placement. Students who have taken HISP 102 at W&M or who received credit for an approved equivalent are not eligible to enroll in this course. Heritage students with an intermediate level of Spanish should take HISP 205. The structure of HISP 103 is based on the premise that the best way to learn a foreign language is through meaningful exposure to the language in interaction with others. The student will study and practice language structures outside of class, which will be used in interactive activities in class. Classes are conducted in Spanish.
