SPAN 4040 is a great class to take, especially if you are looking to fulfill the requirements for the Spanish major or minor. I found it to be a low stress class that I actually learned something in. There is writing (translating) and/or reading due before each class, but it is typically not difficult (the readings are in English). Profe Addington is very understanding of how stressful college can be and tries to make the class as enjoyable and less stressful as possible. She will often change the schedule to make the workload easier on her students (and herself). She wants her students to succeed which I find very admirable about her. Definitely recommend this class.
