It is a good self-paced course. Study hard and prepare well. The book will help you a lot with your tests. However, this course can be difficult if you do not spend the proper time studying and/or getting toured/helped. Nothing compares to having someone teach you than you teach yourself--as far as foreign language goes.

A good overview of Spanish for the beginner. I learned a great amount that will be very helpful in getting me on my way to fluency. The tutoring, textbook, and assignments were great to help me along and I really recommend the Puntos de partida that is utilized in this course.
