Comment:
She is a wonderful lady who is willing to help you with any questions, but the focus of her lectures can be confusing. She goes off on tangents and it's not clear what you should be taking notes on. Very easy grader, but this class has many written assignments and a whole lot of reading. Try your best not to zone out in class and take good notes.

Comment:
Rosa was our study abroad director and really the only thing to say is that she could've done a much better job. Everything felt very unorganized, it was very much a sink or swim program (which wasn't advertised), and she wasn't understanding to students' needs while abroad. I'm not sure how she is while on campus, but I would steer clear abroad.

Prof. Chinchilla can be a little bit of a space cadet, but she's very nice and super knowledgeable. If you're interested, you'll enjoy it. Like almost all the Spanish professors at UConn, she is a very easy grader.

Love her! She is very generous with grading, which actually made me put more effort into the class! It's nice to have a professor that likes to see you succeed!

Comment:
Very kind, super laid back, and really knows her stuff. My only complaint is that she doesn't do more to stimulate class discussion. It's hard to stay focused in lecture and I know I'd be retaining more if the class were a bit more discussion-based. As for the harsh things others have said about her here, I couldn't disagree with them more!

Comment:
Attending her class is like accompanying an old lady to a buffet - she wanders around aimlessly, taking tiny bits of food from here and there in a disjointed fashion, ending with almost nothing on her plate. My favorite is when she says, "Now, as I was saying," and starts talking about something completely different. Frustrating!

Comment:
Completely clueless. She couldn't remember what she assigned to use to read or even keep straight what stories were what (that class was translated Spanish literature). She'd start talking about something for another one of her classes expecting us to know it. Someone in the class or her TA would have to tell her what was going on in class.

As an advisor she's a space cadet. Make sure you follow up on what classes you're supposed to be taking, I've been misinformed by her. Her classes are not challenging. I learned inspite of her.
