The purpose of this assignment is to provide students with additional opportunities to further their interpersonal language skills.
You will meet with a Spanish tutor for a 30 minute one-to-one sessions to complete specific tasks. There are 5 tasks related to this assignment this semester.
You will video record each task and save it to the cloud in an mp4 or MOV. format. Then upload or share the link to the video with your instructor through Blackboard.
