Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to comprehend, speak, read, and write simple Spanish utilizing the
skills and functions specified in the General Course Outcomes. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
Obtain a County Library Card and/or University/College Library Card. You will need either a County Library Card which you may obtain
at either North Campus or South Campus Library or a University/College Library Card from the Central Campus Library. These cards will
allow you to use select library databases.
To complete the online segments of this course, you must have access to computer hardware and software that meets or exceeds
BC's minimum hardware and software standards for e-learning courses. It is strongly recommended that you check your computer to
verify that its hardware and software configuration meets or exceeds the BC standard.
This is a 4 credit hour course. Normally, a four credit hour course would meet four hours each week (during a 16 week term) or
64 hours per term. However, this class is a six week course, which means you will complete 64 hours of in-class work in six weeks,
rather than 16. In this class, about 5 class hours will be spent in regular classroom attendance. You will spend the remaining time
(about 5 class hours) engaged in structured online class activities, such as completing vocabulary and grammar exercises. In addition
to the hours per week of in-class and online activities, you should expect to complete several hours (5 to 10 hours) of
homework activities. In our weekly classroom meetings, you will participate in group activities and interactive exercises as well
as individual work. Outside of the class you will have special online assignments and exercises to complete on the computer.
Regular, active, and meaningful participation in both on campus class meetings and online learning activities is a critically important
component of this course and is essential to your success. It is recommended that you log into the course site several times during the
online week and complete the assigned activities. Frequency and quality of participation may affect your grade.
