Comment:

Absolutely the WORSE teacher that I have ever had! Take this course if you want to have the lass 3 chapters to be covered in less than a month when the first 2 chapters took a month each. Or to have 0 free time because there is roughly 10 hours worth of homework EACH week. Or to take examens on weekends. Or to be given the wrong examen completely.

Comment:

The work load was rather unsettling at a few points as far as online homework. I found myself constantly stressed out with the volume of Online Assignments which really count on your grade. Her tests and quizzes on the other hand are very reasonable and take minimal review to do well. She is great at teaching and you certainly learn from her.

Prof.k is a sweetheart, can come off as being hard if you don't do these things, go to every class on time, do all your hw modules, finish your handouts at home, participate/volunteer and you'll do great. She gives endless amounts of handouts, do them including the reviews, study cards help, learn the vocab & conjugating the verbs, an easy A.

Good teacher, very passionate, but can be seen as tough. Be sure to learn how to my compositions and conjugate!!! also in SPN 2 oral exam part is not your friend if you don't practice the HW. Also, HW 70% or more per chapter otherwise you get a zero! per chapter is about 20-ish modules in ilrn.EVERYONE will be called on several times.BEWARE:shy ppl

can't say I would take her again. She's alright, most everything is taught through her handouts, so not much note taking. Tests aren't too though and VERY similar to the reviews she gives. BEWARE: HW grading policy makes NO sense, so of you dont get credit, don't say you weren't warned. Overall pretty easy class, you can earn a B with little effort

Do: the review sheets, be nice, show up to every class, participate in class, smile, do your homework. Don't: skip class, focus on the book, use "your little devices" during class (electronics), plan on getting out of a lot of work. Follow that and you can pretty much lock an A.

This lady is hilarious. She's so short and adorble but FIESTY! Extremely funny, she makes little voices and does little dances. At times the class can seem to drag out though. Easy tests, most H.W. online. You can't fail if you study :]]]

This professor is awesome! I recommend her only if you're up for the task because there's a lot of work. If you pay attention and do all the on line homework, you should do well.

Comment:

Very fast paced class. Teacher is funny and her voices make it more so. She gives a lot of handouts and a review for each chapter. She goes over all of them in class. Does the review right before a test. A LOT OF ONLINE HOMEWORK! Not a very hard class if you just do the work. She will help you try and pass if you are struggling. Take her!

Comment:

She's a very laid back teacher compared to the rest. She's very helpful if you are falling behind and gives you chances to make up work. She's pretty funny sometimes to, enjoyable to be around. Her handouts are easy but her reviews don't always have the content of the test. Especially the final exam. I do suggest her, just don't procrastinate alot.

Comment:

Publicly humiliates students while PET students laugh. Gives unclear instructions. Depends on 2-6 page handouts done in class at warp speed. Has PET students. Offers to help but helps like a tyrant. Her way or the highway. Rarely listens to reason. Zeros in on advanced students, ridicules slower students Penalizes grade if angry at you.

I took this class as an easy A and that was exactly what I got. Her study guides and worksheets are all awesome and it's all you need to pass her tests since they are pretty much your test! She's funny and awesome! I wish she could teach me French too

Comment:

She's witty, funny, and makes learning Spanish tolerable. Her faux British accent is hilarious. There's a LOT of work & even more homework; however, if you put in the effort, passing shouldn't be an issue. She grades fairly, is very approachable, & she's always willing help students. Honestly I hated this course; but I really like Prof Katusic!

Comment:

From Venezuela. Likes to imitate the British accent. It's funny to listen to. All assignments are online. She gives a million handouts that prepare you for the test. YOU MUST PASS THE FINAL TO PASS THE CLASS. If you go early to the Spanish Lab, she will help you prepare for the test. Part of your grade is attendance.

Comment:

Highly recommend! Fun & nice! Took her for SPN1000 & now for 1100. She's a very lenient grader. Learning a new language is hard but she goes out of her way to make it as easy as she can. You must study. Her witty personality can be mistaken as negative by some students tha have a bad attitude but she is truly sweet & cares about helping students.
