Comment:

Not a very good teacher at all unless you already know most Spanish. you will have a hard time in her class because she doesn't teach very well. I personally believe she does not like some of her students for no reason at all. she will mark you late even though she will start class 4 minutes early overall just don't take her

Shes too busy calling on students that you cant relax and try to grasp what she is teaching. You will also have at least an hour of homework every night. Not a good teacher at all.

Comment:

-Only speaks Spanish -Assigns A LOT of homework -Assigns homework on things you haven't learned yet, which is quite difficult when learning a language -If you struggle with Spanish in the slightest, good luck! -I did all assigned homework and studied a lot and defintely will not be getting anything higher than an 'B'

She is often unclear in her explanations. She will change exam dates frequently and you will need to remind her. She decreases my interest in Spanish.

Comment:

Her class is good if you constantly study. It's not easy at all. The tests are long and she speaks Spanish continuously after a few weeks. Most of the time you will end up just using Spanish in her 102 class. Take if you really understand and pick up foreign languages quickly.

Comment:

She was wrong all the time, she really didn't seem like she knew Spanish. It is almost as if she is hard of hearing and usually doesn't answer your question just a question she thought she heard. she is really nice and into Spanish but she isn't interested in what you have to contribute, and her tests are ridiculous

Comment:

She is not a professor for people who just started studying Spanish in college. She knows her grammar perfectly, but has trouble communicating all that she knows. She can be a little difficult to get along with, but if she likes you it's much easier. The exams tend to be rather long, and the homework takes a very long time as well.

Comment:

Just don't do it to yourself. I took her for Spanish 201 in the fall, ended up with a low B. I then took Spanish 202 with another professor, and ended up with an A+. She is extremely difficult, and thinks Spanish is the most important class you will take. Homework took almost 2 hours to complete, and she regularly embarrasses you.

Comment:

THIS IS NOT THE TEACHER FOR YOUR! You will find yourself regretting every moment you waste sitting in this class. It would be best to wait a semester for a different professor to fit your schedule or to take an entirely different language all together. She will call you out in front of class for mistakes, I haven't learned a thing about Spanish!!!

Awful teacher. Supposed to be a class for true beginners only, but she only speaks in spanish. She'll embarass you in front of the entire class. Evil in it's worst form. If you get assigned to her class, DROP IT IMMEDIATELY! DO NOT SIGN UP FOR HER CLASS!

Comment:

She is horrible!!! Only take if you know spanish!! She knows her stuff but goes VERY fast!!! She also gives a TON of homework... plan on spending 3+ hours a day on homework! After a while she can be friendly but is very difficult. I never missed a class, did all the homework, studied hard, got help, and still only got a C.

Comment:

Worst professor ever. Unless you know Spanish going into her class, you probably will not pass unless you study REALLY hard and with a tutor. She usually only talks in Spanish, and give ridiculous amounts of work homework that she didn't even teach and gives us quizzes the day after you learn something. Avoid if possible.

Great teacher. She moves faster than most but it helps you in your next spanish class. She will give you all the time and help you need. Don't be afraid to ask for assistance and get a tutor early if you need it.

Comment:

I came into Spanish not knowing anything, but DEFINITELY wanted to learn. She realized this and has spent time on me and has even convinced me that I could use Spanish in the future and should continue the language. If you at least care, and she sees this, you won't get anything less than a B.
