My Spanish 301 class was easy, but I feel that I did not learn anything. When I saw the title of this class, I got very excited because I thought that with this class I was going to improve my Spanish skills; I did not improve at all. I said that it was easy because all we had to do was homework, essays, and a final project. The entire semester we were given homework from the book. We had to do like ten pages for each class. During class, the teacher reviewed what we had for homework and that was it. We were not taught anything, we were just given the correct answers. I do not want to criticize anyone, but it is important that I say what I think about this class. I want that future students who take this class learn what they are supposed to learn. I did not want to tell anything to the teacher because I did not want him to get offended. I hope that after this review of his class, someone tells him to change the structure of the class. I want to mention that I am not the only student who says this about his class. Most of my classmates say that they did not learn anything, but they are afraid of saying something. I mentioned that I had to do essays, and those essays were the only good aspect of that class. Writing those essays was fun because we chose our own topics, so I chose to write about my favorite singer, myself, and about my favorite singer again. Once again, I hope this class changes in the future.
