Class Description: This upper-level grammar course builds on the foundations of what students have learned in Spanish 1, 2, and 3. The instructor will conduct the class entirely in Spanish and will resort to English for grammatical explanations only when absolutely necessary.

The instructor will assign homework from the book.
