Summer 2021 Session 1 Updates

[ss20ts]

I'm needing feedback from those that have taken spanish with UMPI. I emailed the instructor and told here there was no way that the content that was covered in the class (spanish 101) using ONLY the words and verbs taught was enough for a 500 word essay. So, in turn she took it as a challenge and is writing an autobiography using only the words covered in the course. she said if she can't use only the words covered then she'll change the examp prompts.

go me. and this was an unintended "challenge" on my end. If we're getting personal which I'm ok with, the question of "what's your mothers name and fathers name"? well, do you want my adoptive parents or my birth parents? both of them had an equal part in raising me. And trust me, those words weren't covered in the content of spanish 101.

what I'd like to know from you is did you feel there was enough content to cover a 500 word essay?

I completed Spanish at UMPI with an A. I had plenty of words to use. You can use the Milestones in the Final Assessment. Those questions are in the Final Assessment. Short simple sentences is the key. My Final Assessment was over 550 words. I did use words that were not included in the course material and was not marked down because of them. I used SIMPLE BASIC words like lake, walk, wine, different foods, etc. It can be done. I did it!
