Comment:

Great teacher, she loves the material, sadly though the material is boring and difficult to read. Mid evil spanish literature isn' the most enjoyable thing to sit through for an hour and fifteen minutes, but she tries hard to make it enjoyable, she is very funny. Good professor, even nicer person bought the class coffee.

I emailed this professor inquiring about credit transfer and she responded extremely rudely. Maybe I caught her on a bad day but regardless she was not helpful at all and accused me of being disrespectful when I was as polite as possible. Beware: start all emails with Dear Professor Guardiola;......

Comment:

She ONLY speaks in Spanish and is obsessed with literature, especially medieval times. i never understood a word she was saying, but her tests are definitely do-able and she gives extra credit. but your grade is a mystery until your final grade sooo idk. if you like spanish and can understand it perfectly then you'll be fine.

My favorite, so sad when i saw the wedding ring, but a great teacher. it's really tough to make medieval spanish lit fun but she does it so well, with sidenotes to entertain. if i can sit through a three hour class its pretty good, or maybe solamente estaba enamorado

Comment:

She's very nice & passionate about the topic but the compliments stop there. So disorganized the entire semester, often came to class 5-10 min late, wasted class time talking about her kids/sports which made us behind schedule & rush through lectures. Doesn't respond to e-mails promptly, if at all. She talks too fast to follow and take notes.

I loved having her as a teacher. She is very clear when explaining a topic and wants you to get the best grade possible. Lots of extra credit, and test are easy anyways. Do the reading, go to class, and participate and you'll get a good grade. Highly reccomend this class.

Comment:

Not extremely clear during lectures, goes from one thing to another while you're still writing notes for the first thing. However, she helps everyone get a good grade in the class. Not hard to get an A with a little effort and going to her office for extra help. Also, a great person and gets to know her students.

Comment:

Fabulous person, knows her stuff makes class very enjoyable. Her class is only for those who are genuinely interested in Spanish. She is always ready to help and a fantastic resource. Students need to realize however that her background is medieval spanish and so the language/material will be extremely tough.

Very good teacher. Difficult to get used to her style of teaching (3 hours of lecturing), but once you do, you'll learn a ton. She's a very chill teacher and is really very nice and very easy to talk with. She knows a ton about medieval Spanish lit-use her as a resource.

Good person. Fun to talk to outside of class. Bad teacher. She uses difficult material and expects undergrads to do as well as grad students. Do not learn much. i spent lots of money on so many books to read and i couldnt read a page myself. no one read.

Great lady, very interesting. Picks a topic and makes class discuss it for entire time. Just make a few comments each day and you'll be fine.

She is a great teacher! She's very friendly and fun. She has a good sense of humor and she keeps class interesting. She has a goofy Spanish accent, but it is fun to hear.
