Course Selection Guidebook – Fall 2011A word of advice: If you need to complete your language requirement at William and Mary or ifyou plan to continue with the study of a foreign language or literature, you should seriouslyconsider starting right away. Not only will you not forget much of what you have learned in highschool, but starting early will allow you to take more advanced courses in language, literature orculture. Remember: the foreign language requirement at William and Mary is a minimumproficiency requirement. If you want to develop your language skills to the point where you canrealistically use them, you will need to continue beyond the 202 level. Also, note that seniors arenot permitted to register for Beginning-Level language courses unless space remains in theseclasses once underclass students have registered.Two types of Freshman Seminars are offered in MDLL.
