Good professor. I sometimes felt that her grading was unfair when it came to writing assignments but overall I learned a lot. Sometimes the course content is unclear so I recommend asking a lot of questions!

Comment:

Good teacher. She primarily speaks in Spanish. I wasn't comfortable with that initially, but after a week or so, I could understand her very easily. Used the textbook (Imagina) a lot. Class work/handouts were very helpful to study from. Doesn't use blackboard, but will tell you your grade if you ask.

Comment:

I definitely learned a lot in her class and there was a lot of focus on grammar, but I needed it to get myself caught up. I wish that there had been more emphasis on communication in the target language but she was a very fair grader and appreciated any and all attempts at speaking and participating.

Comment:

Profe Stoykavich is very linear, a typical european teacher, however she is kind and willing to help with any trouble you may have. In the beginning I was not so sure about her, but by the end of the class I was smitten.

I liked Stoyk a lot. She's really not as bad as people say. It's a bit challenging, but it should be! Reasonable amount of work. Very helpful if you talk to her.

She is difficult and does not let things slide. She focuses mostly on grammar and very little conversation.

Very good teacher. A native Spaniard, but speaks perfect English too which makes her a good person to go to for help. Not too hard, not too easy. If you are struggling, show her that you are trying because she appreciates effort.
