13. Students speak: I absolutely loved taking this class online because I did not feel pressured to cram as much information as possible into my brain! The 2 weeks per chapter allowed me to study vocabulary at a "few minutes every day" kind of pace. And I think that is the best advice or recommendation I can give to students taking this course. Figure out what study method works best for you and take ten-twenty minutes each day to do a quick test on yourself. Repetition is key!

14. More students speak: …. This is a very comprehensive course already, and I think if it offered more options I wouldn't know where to begin…. This is a great class. I wish I would have been prepared for how much time I need to spend on it, and I regret not being able to devote more time to it. I learned that people in Hispanic cultures have the same basic concerns that everyone else does. Keep doing everything because every little thing helps to teach me and other students.
