I ended up taking this class just for fun and I loved it so much. It's a smaller class size so you really get to build a connection with the professor. Kip was super fun and had interesting essay assignments. Overall, really helpful to strengthen some of my weaker skills in Spanish, especially because I hadn't written essays in a while. Only con was VHL but I've hated that system for the many years I've taken Spanish. I would say also if you were a native speaker or have studied for many years, Span 27 may be a better option because I felt at times we went over very simple grammar.
