Comment:

Professor Nofz is one of the best professors I've ever had. She's extremely helpful and nice, and very passionate about Spanish. If you do the homework, participate in class, and study, you should be fine. I would take her again for SPAN 102 if I could.

Profesora Nofz is the professor you want to take if you're serious about learning her subject. She's passionate about her Spanish and she's a fantastic, caring professor. That being said, she's a tough grader and the time requirement for this course is significant. I'm a 4.0 student who is struggling to maintain a B in this course.

Comment:

I have never had such a passionate and helpful Spanish professor. The whole class is taught in Spanish which helps so much with listening and speaking. Professor Nofz is really good at putting concepts into the simplest terms to understand, and if you have a question she will take the time to explain the answer in detail. 100% recommend.

Comment:

This class has been my favorite so far because of this professor. She loves Spanish and has such a passion for teaching it to her students. She sticks to the syllabus from beginning to end of the semester so you know exactly whats going on. I probably learned more Spanish from her this semester than I did in three years of high school Spanish!

Comment:

A lot of the teachers here are very opinionated and get off topic easily. She sticks to the syllabus and is respectful of anything anyone has to say. The whole class is spoken in Spanish which sometimes makes it difficult to know what you are supposed to be doing. She often takes the time to ensure each of her students understand the lesson.

Comment:

Well, I'll start off by saying that if you are late she will immediately mark you late and thus this affects your participation, you can't use the bathroom during tests or right after you step into the room or she marks you late, she is reallyyy strict but a greaaat professor, she loves what she does and you learn a lot, very passionate and nice.

The class is a very achievable 4.0. Just do what she says. If you want to actually learn spanish she's a great professor. She's been doing this for a long time. She grades pretty easily, you're going to do a ton of group work though.

Wonderful teacher who actually cares about delivering the material! VERY tough grader and picky about perfect attendance as well as on time to class, this can get annoying, but she means well and her method of teaching gets the job done. You will learn a new set of 20-or-so vocab words everyday, so expect to work hard for your grade.

I had never taken a Spanish class before her and I was still able to get a 4.0 in her class. She's been doing this for awhile, she knows what works. You will do group work but it works nicely and you become friends with everyone. homework is easy and online. She will push you but it's worth it. Put in the effort, show up, study, you've got a 4.0

Nofz is an amazing teacher. She is always there to help her students and explains things very good! Her grading is kind of hard and you need to participate in class lectures. This class is an easy A if you pay attention and show up.

if you've taken spanish before in highschool, definitley take her. if not, its not advisable. she will squeeze an important section of the chapter like verb conjugating in within the last 10 minutes of class. all the homework was online so whatever she didnt teach in class, you taught yourself. tests werent too hard. her voice will drive you CRAZY

Clear and organized. She takes participation very seriously so if you don't particapate, late to class, miss class then your grade will drop. Group work is all day and every day in her class. She loves what she teach so you better love it too. Good teacher overall just have to work for your grade.

Comment:

Got a 4.0 but she made me hate showing up to Spanish; a language I've loved & taken for 13 years. You have to work in several different groups per day (constantly moving seats, hard to focus) & speaking in front of the class is mandatory. Both were awful for my anxiety. Her voice is physically painful. Sucks out the fun & takes it too seriously.

She doesn't give you a break to go to the bathroom, if you're one minute late she marks your grade down, if you don't speak up in class your participation goes down. I had a question but I didn't ask it in spanish, so she refused to answer it. She is the worst teacher I've ever had. She will constantly repeat how she wants us to follow her rules.

She was a really good teacher and although she likes to pretend she is tough, she is a nice lady. You will learn a lot in this class and if you need to continue in Spanish you will probably remember most of it.

I took her for both spanish 101 and 102 and though her teaching style can be very elementary with lots of group work, no phones or chewing gum.. It works!! She truly cares about her students, keeps you awake in class and you learn a ton. Exams are also pretty easy just make flash cards for everything. Id take her again for 201, I enjoyed her.

Despite my strong personal hatred for her, she teaches well. Her system works and I learned a lot. That being said each day in her class was hell. She has one of the most annoying voices I have ever heard. Her attitude says "I love that I know something you don't and I'm going to advertise it" a lot her catch phrases aren't said by native speakers.

Whoever said attending class is useless is wrong. A lot of your points were based on participation and she explained things in class very well. She was one of the best teachers I ever had. Very intelligent!! 4.0
