From the calendar
Official source · Faculty of Arts & ScienceFor native (heritage) speakers who have had exposure to spoken Spanish in an informal context (i.e., living in a Spanish-speaking country; or growing in a Spanish-speaking family), but little to no exposure to written Spanish. The students' ability to speak and understand Spanish may range from basic to relatively high fluency, but they experience difficulties writing and reading in Spanish. The course reviews English/Spanish spelling differences; written and spoken registers of Spanish, cognates and false cognates, and basic aspects of the grammatical system. (Introductory)

What people actually got
Last observed Fall 20241 term observed
This is a student-contributed aggregate, not an official University of Toronto record. It is also not a measure of how hard the course is — a course average moves with who enrols in it, not only with the material.
The newest observation is from Fall 2024. Instructors, weighting and exam format may all have changed since — treat this as history, not a forecast.
This rests on 1 reported term. It is shown because hiding it would not make it less true, but one or two results are a datapoint, not a distribution — a single unusual cohort moves this number a long way.
