Comment:

I loved this class and professor! Her spanish is very clear, which is helpful for spanish learners. Tests can be tough, so you definitely have to study. Attendance is mandatory. I didn't mind though because I enjoyed going to her class. She's very helpful and wants her students to do well. She never makes you feel bad for making a mistake.

Comment:

Her attendance policy is absolutely insane. It's worse than high school. I have to submit a written letter detailing which exact dates I was absent and why as well as submit an obituary as proof of the death in my family JUST TO GET AN EXCUSAL FROM A 50 MINUTE CLASS WHERE WE DID NOTHING. NOTHING.

Comment:

She takes attendance everyday. I thought the class was easy but I had Spanish speaking experience before. She talks in Spanish A LOT which I think is hard for a 101 class. I know someone who didn't have Spanish before and she struggled but the professor is always willing to help. Very nice.

She is adorable! Norma obviously likes to have fun in class. Her Spanish is very clear. Norma's tests are hard though. Focus on grammar when writing.

Horrific and formidable woman. Though I did well in the class,she clearly takes pleasure in making students feel stupid. Water/Gum etc is forbidden in her class yet she drinks coffee during lectures. Too many times I saw students leave her class in tears.

Dr. Rivera-Hernández is my favorite professor at MU. Her Spanish is clear and easy to understand. She is very consistent in her expectations, grading, and overall behavior. Basically, you always know what to expect with her, which I like. If you do the readings and homework you'll be prepared in class. Participate and study and you'll be fine.

Comment:

Easy tests, terrible professor. She was consistently late to class while also having a mandatory attendance policy. She takes sick pleasure in embarrassing students and lowering participation grades when students fail to correctly complete the homework she always rushes to assign at the end of each class. She is there for her paycheck.

Comment:

Possibly one of the worst professor ive ever had. When I raised my hand she would intentionally ignore me, my friend in the class even noticed it. The only way you can possibly ask question is during her office hours and even the she doen't spend much time. I've taken two classes with her.

This is my second course with her, and she is great. She teaches everything that you see on the tests and it is really easy to learn with her teaching methods. I highly recommend taking a course with her.

Dr. Rivera seems like a nice lady and is quite funny sometimes. She taught the material very well and her Spanish was easy to understand. I was a bit disappointed of how easy the class was, but I 'm sure that I'll be prepared for Span 351.

Comment:

She is a great professor, and she explains new material very well. Her spanish is very clear and easy to understand. No papers, or major projects. just tests, quizzes, and easy homework assignments. One downfall she doesnt seem very personable It seemed to me that teaching was only her job and she wasn't interested in her students easily frustrated

Comment:

I found her to be hard, but I loved her teaching style and her voice, lol. it was calming to me, as awkward as that sounds. She seemed very nice, although she got frustrated if people didn't do the homework, which is understandable. Very organized, and spoke almost entirely in Spanish

Span-Amer. Civ. This is my 3rd class with Dra. Rivera and she remains my favorite Spanish prof. Her lectures are so organized that if you take good notes you'll be fine. One warning, she is very picky on the research projects. Don't skimp there! Asking questions during her office hours also will boost your grade. The class was SO interesting!

Comment:

I have had her now for two courses and I have a great deal of respect for her. The class was actually quite easy. Class notes were spoon-fed to us with a Power Point. She had lots of review. You need the text for some things, but the only information that appeared on the tests were what she went over in class. I learned a lot, but it was no sweat!

Very professional and strict, but also a lot of fun. She is very knowledgeable in the field of literature. Her expectations are always clear and there are never any surprises. She speaks very distinctly. The homework load is constant but manageable. I always look forward to her class. I definitely recommend her!

she is my favorite professor from the FL department. if you want to find the perfect one, she is it! she is so sweet and so willing to help, but when it comes to the rules, she's very strict. no exceptions. her tests are pretty hard, but it's worth it.
