J term is hard. Be prepared to work a lot. There's a lot of vocab to study and you won't be able to fully learn all of it so you'll have to prioritize what you'll think you'll use the most. And you need a 96 for an A so you might as well give up on that. IF you want to finish your language requirement and don't mind a B+ or so, then take this class. If you want an indepth study of Spanish, take this class during the normal semesters. Don't cram it into J term.
