Students thought the best aspects of this course included the fast, but methodical pace. They covered a lot of material but the professor was very good in making sure that everyone knew the information before continuing. Although the amount of content covered was a bit daunting, the biggest problem students had was with the textbook, which had very little English translation. To improve the course, students recommended that there should be a different textbook and more emphasis on conversational activities. Prospective students should be prepared for a rigorous paced but manageable course for beginners.
