Before you start this class, you need to know that Span 2 has Span 1 or 1B as a prerequisite. If you did not take Span 1 or 1B at CCSF you will have to clear the prerequisite. All you need to know about this is here. 

Also, if you are not sure if this is your level, you should take the Spanish placement test in order to assess your level.  If you need any extra information on this or other classes, please, contact the Chair of World Languages and Cultures, professor Diana Garcia-Denson. 

Also, if you are a heritage speaker, that is, someone who has been exposed to the language at home or country of origin, or you are a first or second generation Spanish speaker born in the US, this class might not be for you. If you think you qualify as a heritage speaker, but are not sure, you must go here. DO NOT TAKE THE PLACEMENT TEST. Placement tests are not designed for heritage speakers. The classes for heritage speakers are Span 31 or 31A. The numbers may appear high to you, but these classes are actually targeted to beginning/intermediate heritage speakers who need instruction in reading, writing and practice with speaking. If you need any extra information on this or other classes, please, contact the Chair of World Languages and Cultures, professor Diana Garcia-Denson, or a CCSF academic counselor. You are responsible for taking the appropriate class for your level. Language classes are skill-based and are taken in a sequential order. 

As a 5 unit course, Span 2 covers 6 chapters of the book (7 thru 12). It goes at a rather fast pace and demands a serious commitment from the students. You should expect to spend at least 9 hours per week working on this class. If you feel your current circumstances might not allow you to dedicate the necessary time to study this language, you might want to consider taking a 3 unit class instead, that is Span 2A or Span 2B.
