SPAN 303: Advanced Spanish Grammar
Dr. Ovidio Casado-Fuente
Reviews all phases of communication skills with practice in understanding, speaking, and writing grammatically correct Spanish. Teaches specific components of Spanish grammar: the Spanish verbal system, the subjunctive, ser versus estar, and other problematic aspects of grammar. For students planning to teach Spanish.
My second class with Dr. Casado-Fuente focus solely on Spanish grammar. This was the first time in a college level grammar course. During this semester I was able to strengthen the information I had learned in High School. This class extremely helpful in applying it to the rest of my classes. We practiced writing essays. Dr. Ovidio gave us the opportunity to write about ourselves. He gave us topics where we could express our opinions. This made it easy to practice our writing skills along with our grammar. Which prepared us for future research papers. Dr. Casado-Fuente also made us correct paper with mistakes so that we would not only prevent our mistakes but also find our classmates and improve each other's progress. As a class we were able to understand the structure of the language better. We also learned to identify mistakes and to improve our vocabulary.
