Attendance at the Zoom class meetings is required. If you have any questions or concerns in regard to this attendance policy, please contact your instructor.

Students are highly recommended to take SPA 103 and SPA 113C simultaneously.

SPA 113C is a one-credit conversation course that meets twice a week for 25 minutes (50 min/week). For SPA 103 (CRN 20795), your recommended section of SPA 113C is CRN 25220. This conversation class meets 30 minutes before your SPA 103, and it’s taught by the same instructor.

Why take SPA 113C? In the conversation class, you will have an opportunity to practice what you are learning in SPA 103. You will be working on your listening and speaking skills with classmates, with your instructor’s guidance and support. Students who don’t take SPA 113C will have 10 hours less practice with the Spanish language than the classmates who take SPA 113C. SPA 103 + SPA 113C is an excellent combination to develop your communicative skills (aural and oral), and communication is the main goal of our Spanish program.
