Reina seems confusing during the course of the semester and her expectations aren't always clear but she respects students' attendance and participation, so if you show up to almost all the classes and show interest in the material you shouldn't have trouble making the grade you want.

Not the easiest teacher, but you will learn a great deal and she's always willing to help anyone who asks. I've taken her twice and I would recommend to anyone eager to learn.

She was very helpful and realistic. I liked specially the way she assumes students are responsible people. She made me realize I am not in High School anymore but in College.

Comment:

She's a demanding teacher, but if you do what she asks you'll do well. Do the homework and study the study guide and you'll do fine. It was obvious that Spanish Linguistics was not her passion

Comment:

I took the Spanish theatre productions class with her. She really energetic and sweet. However, she definately thought that HER clas was my ONLY class. This really frustrated me a lot because I had 17 hours. She also added on things later on in the course that we didn't originally know we had to do. We didn't have a syllabus per se. Overal

Comment:

Oral tests are very difficult. Be sure you memorize (and I DO mean memorize) the material from each chapter. She asks really specific questions, esp. about places and names. Know than general concepts. Class is mostly boring and always routine. It comes off as more of a cultural readings class than a conversation one. Class never lets out early.

You have to participate in class. She will help you understand Spanish better and grades fairly. A little hint: let her know you actually like Spanish and do not ask her about your grade a lot because she won't tell you.

Make sure you keep track of the assignments because it's really easy to forget them - she only says them once & there's usually at least one per class period.

Comment:

This is a upper level class. It is going to be more difficult. She'll require you to talk. But she is very nice and you just have to speak to he with respect. She doesn't like whinners. You have to be stong and really learn the vocabulary. I like her very much.

Comment:

Her accent is adorable. In class, she just goes over stuff in the book and works assignments with the class. She is rather inflexible with her assignments and due dates but she lets you know all of them way in advance. I learned a lot and found her to be pleasant and fair.

Doesn't care how well her students do. The worst Spanish teacher I have had in 8 years of instruction. She is the reason I dropped Spanish as my major.

Her teaching style is terrible, and she seems very apathetic to the success of her students. She is intelligent but her class is very repetitive and boring. I didn't learn much.
