Prerequisite: SPAN 110 with a grade of ?C? or better or equivalent. The student must be able to speak and read English. The student can be successful in SPAN 200 only after having achieved all of the minimal performance objectives specified for both SPAN 100 and SPAN 110. Either a recent course in SPAN 110 or a recent 3 year high school Spanish course with good retention should enable the student to succeed in SPAN 200. A continuation of SPAN 110 covering the uses of all Spanish tenses with special emphasis on the subjunctive and imperative modes.
