Reflection: In this course I had previously taken other courses higher level than this one so it was much easier for me to get through the work of it. This course was taught in Spanish by one of my favorite professors Ovidio Casado Fuente. One of my best outcomes of this class was the practice I got throughout this course by doing a lot of grammar work and making mistakes was okay because our professor wouldn't make us give up if we didn't get it right the first time. For one of our finals we had to write an essay that would make us practice our writing skills. Everything we had to turn in was in the target language of Spanish.
