Comment:

Dr. Pouwels is easy. You will have homework every day, but she doesn't grade it hard because she's understanding of the fact that learning a new language is difficult and everything isn't going to be perfect. Ask questions in class. She explains concepts well and doesn't mind doing it. Go to class/do your work, and you will be fine.All about effort

Comment:

Dr. Pouwels is a horrible teacher. You really do have to learn everything yourself, even though it's not that difficult. The homework and tests are easy, but you must take the time to study yourself. If at all possible, take KOETH for 1320. She's amazing. Dr. Pouwels sucks and looks like one of the Quizno's rat things.

Comment:

She isn't perhaps the best teacher in the world, but she does grade very easily. For the most part, you have to teach yourself. So if you won't read and study the book yourself, don't take the class! She gives lots of bonus at the end of the semester, and practically gives you the final exam word for word. You just have to study to do well.

Shes a great teacher. If you show up to class you'll do just fine. The tests are just simple vocab and conjugations. I think that this class was a breeze compared to 1310. alot less vocab.

Comment:

So, Mrs. Pouwels was a sweet lady, her teaching was interesting. She was a little wierd, but it is an easy class, if you do your quia. When you sit in there, you're like..."oh my gosh...ZZZZZZ", but if you can stay awake, she'll pretty much work with you and lenient with you. Tests are basically different conjugations we learned and vocab and oral

Comment:

Dra Pouwels is a real sweet teacher. She is very helpful and understanding about outside problems. A little scatterbrained but a sweetheart nonetheless. Had her for drama and she was so easy. As long as you did what she asked she didnt have a problem with you. Did 3 plays, one short, one long, one we wrote ourselves. Would take her again.

Comment:

There were time she didn't seem to remember what she'd just asked us to do. I've also had two native speakers (from different countries) contradict the pronunciations she taught. Nice enough lady, but talks in circles. Do your QUIA. Come to class. Probably won't take her again, but not a terrible class.

Comment:

Dr. Pouwels is a very well educated civilization teacher. She is pretty easy and will do whatever she can to help her students. I've heard she is boring as a grammar teacher. She gives 2 tests and requires quite a few essays as well as in class presentations by students.

Very good teacher. She teaches like an elementary teacher with cheesy visuals, but they get the point across. She tells you exactly what will be on the test and grades pretty easy.

Comment:

Very good teacher. I learned more in this Upper level civilization class than any other class I've taken. She takes attendence and relies a lot on student's presentations in class. She speaks slowly (I think bc she is old) but speaks spanish very well--always correctly. I would definitely take her again.

Comment:

She was a great teacher! I don't know what all these other people are talking about. Maybe, if they were wanting to learn hard core Spanish, but this is just Span. II. She used visuals, although corney, they actually helped. I would definately take her. If there is a part on the test everyone does bad on, she'll drop it!!

Comment:

Absolutely the most terrible professor I've had as far as knowledge goes. I can speak better Spanish than her. The last class I had with her, she made the students do research and give presentations. Everything in the course was over our presentations. She didn't do ANYTHING!!... and it was supposedly her "area of expertise". Ridiculous.

Sure, she doesn't give much homework, but she puts stuff on her final exam that she never goes over. I'm not the only one who's had that problem. One's grade should NOT depend on how much extra credit you do (and I did get a good grade in her class but I remember nothing of what she taught).

i dont know what everyone's problem is with her. she is really easy because there are no quizzes, she tells you exactly what is on the tests, and the workbook answers are in the back and each workbook assignment is worth a lot. she's a little strange but it's entertaining.
