Nice lady. If you odn't go to office hours, dont expect a good grade. She won't teach in class so make sure you learn from the book and ask her outside of class in office hours. She gives out an average one A all semster.

Comment:

Ehy, the class was alright (I'd be lying if I said it was easy). Whenever I'd ask a question, she'd assume I'm asking something completely different, and throw out an answer before I could finish my sentence. Not the best, but not the worst. But I would recommend another teacher if you aren't good at spanish. You'll do a lot of work in this class.

Comment:

Hard class with a lot of work, but that's to be expected in the UofM spanish department. Prof. Cross really loves her students and wants all of them to succeed. The class is not easy, but she is by far one of the most helpful professors i've had. Go to office hours, participate, and show that you work hard; you should do fine.

Profe Cross is great. Although a hard grader in terms of participation, she is very helpful and a very sweet woman. She tries to get to know her students on a personal level.

The KEY to her class is attending office hours to get to know her. She's really personable and loves getting to know students. Also, don't sit by the same person every day. That brings down the participation grade. I recommend her for 231! Just expect to work for your grade.

Great teacher. Very willing to help students, and wants you to do well. Yes she grades tough at times, but nothing you cannot overcome by a little work. She is there to help at all times and is a very nice lady.

Very nice lady. Grades ridiculously hard and often times doesn't follow the syllabus. Good luck fighting for a regrade because once its done... its done. You will never get more than a b+ in participation or the journals.

She seems really nice at first but she grades everything really hard. You will never get a ten on journals or higher than a 90% on participation.

Sra. Cross made the transition from high school Spanish to college level Spanish extremely easy. She uses the text book alot but really cares a lot and tries with all her heart to make class interesting and fun. She does play favorites, but as long as your one of them it doesn't matter. Also, for a good grade go to office hours.

She plays HUGE favorites. Basically if you are a teachers pet, you'll do great. She is a fantastic spanish speaker, not so much english. I'd prefer a native english speaker in the future, as she is difficult to understand.
