Comment:

Let me start by saying this professor is a true joy to be around in that she actually cares about her students. She teaches to make you learn not to pass the class so if this is not your style beware. The homework is CRAZY so be ready to dedicate around 3 hours every other night to the course. Be ready to put in a lot of time and effort!

Comment:

Ali was basically a mentor for me as I was starting college. She's just a nice person who cares about her students. Her classes are fun, a lot of informal discussions where you actually practice speaking. Also likes games. I learned a lot of Spanish. She gives a few quizzes and assignments and grades leniently. Sometimes brings in her cute dog :)

Comment:

I was struggling with some mental health stuff and she was more than understanding and accommodating. That being said, try your hardest to make it to every class because participation and attendance are a huge part of your grade. One thing that's frustrating is that she doesn't post actual grades so you have no idea what your gpa is until the end.

absolutely hate this class. im taking it online and the book you have to buy isnt really helpful. you just need it to access all of the assignments, and there are A LOT. currently spending 5+ hours almost everyday working on them. anyways its almost like she throws you into the online spanish labs but there isnt really anything to learn from.

Super friendly teacher, really cares about her students. Has an informal teaching style and cares whether her students try/participate. You need to study for this class. Harder than most Spanish classes because she wants you to actually be able to hold a conversation. Do not skip class, it affects your grade. I wish she posted grades online.

Comment:

Shes nice, humorous and provides good comment feedback. However, because she gives a LOT of homework and I mean A LOT and nevertheless a tough grader as well, I do NOT suggest you take her, its a lot to manage. You literally have to be willing to dedicate all your time to this class. If you are only taking 2 classes sure if not, DONT TAKE HER.

Professor Korosy is super nice and is very attentive. She responds quickly and thoroughly. However, this class was extremely difficult. The homework was insane and she is a tough grader.

Comment:

Mrs. Korosy is the friendliest teacher I've met at this school. She is very accommodating to students, helping in any way she can. However, she is fair and will only make exceptions under special circumstances. She wants your success and gives really good feedback on assignments. Summer Spanish is NOT easy, and she made it as painless as possible.

Comment:

Korosy is super personable and has a really informal teaching style. She gives a lot of work but also her grading system heavily rewards "trying" over concrete grades, which can be good or bad depending on what type of student you are.

Comment:

Professor Korosy is pretty awesome. Down to earth and tells it like it is. Final grade is pretty much entirely based on how actively you participated in class, which can be frustrating for those trying to figure out what they need to make on the exam. She'll challenge you at times, but just be prepared to speak a lot of Spanish and have fun.

Comment:

I didn't do very well. She uses the immersion technique and engulfs you with homework and projects that you get in front of the class for. She waited till the end of the semester to post ALOT of the grades. I was not introduced to any prior Spanish. She gives a lot of resources to help you. Get into it!

I took this Class online. As most online classes there is work to do but for this class I took it over the summer and you have to be on top of the assignments everyday. You have webcam , partner or group , chat assignments, quizzes, test and online activity assignments. So you have to be engaged to get that A . She is a very nice professor.

Profesora Korosy is such a sweet woman. She genuinely cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She's disorganized, but grades everyone's work and gives good feedback. Quizzes weren't hard if you study a little or show up to class. Quite a bit of online (busy) work. I'd recommend her to anyone no matter how much Spanish you know.

Comment:

Best Spanish teacher at UCF. Really cares about her students and wants them to not only pass, but learn. Yes, there is lots of online work, but what do you expect when you're trying to learn another language? Repetition is necessary. Lots of interesting in-class participation. You really do learn a lot and I'm sad I cannot take her for SPN1121.

She is extremely nice. Normally she does not accept late assignments, but will occasionally make exceptions. I dreaded learning spanish, but she has made it pretty easy to transition to.

Comment:

Profesora Korosy is nice, knowledgeable & fair--if you do the homework & online modules, at least try to participate in class & aren't disrespectful you'll do just fine. Class was educational & often fun. She's not a native speaker, but to be honest learning from non-native speakers seems to help the transition when starting a new language. (:

Nice person, but extremely unorganized. She sometimes takes attendance but no one goes to class because it's a free for all and there's no real lesson plan. She assigns a lot of homework and most of your grade is determined by your ability to write essays! Avoid this class.

Took her Spanish 1 Honors course. She was an amazing teacher. Grading is mostly based off of participation so you need to attend class. Makes class fun and interesting. Really cares about her students. Received an A in the class while missing a quiz and several assignments and some hw.
