Important Announcements
EXPECTED DAILY STUDY AND WORK TIME FOR SPN 1120 & SPN 1121 COURSES:

Learning a foreign language requires time and effort. As students, you are encouraged to learn to manage your time wisely. What does this mean regarding SPN 1120 and SPN 1121 courses? Since these are 4-credit hour classes, you should multiply 4 times 4 which is equal to 16 hours of study time per week. This means that if you divide 16 hours by 7 days of the week, you are expected to study and work in this class for at least 2.5 hours daily.
