Professor Carbajal is absolutely amazing! Shes a tough teacher and doesnt let students get away with BS, but thats the best part of the class. She has a great sense of humor and I genuinely feel like Ive learned so much in this class. By far one of the best professors Ive had at WWU.

Carbajal is amazing. 201 was my first class with her and she rocks. I have never had a Spanish teacher more engaged, excited, knowledgeable, and hilarious as Carbajal. Highly recommend.

Professor Carbajal is one of the best professors I have had at Western. She is hilarious and always keeps class interesting. She also provides worksheets when the textbook is confusing that make learning much easier. She makes you work for your grade, but as long as you show up to class and study for exams you should do fine.

She's a great teacher- gives good examples, funny at times. She plays music for us every Friday which is cool. Sometimes we'd have activities where we ask each other questions and write down answers, or repeat words, but that's not enough to really learn how to speak it. She's nit picky and will mark you down for every small/big error.

Amy is wonderful. She knows how to make the entire class laugh, and she is very intelligent. I love her! I don't love her class. It is extremely fast paced, so if you require extra time to absorb information, this is not the class for you. Exams are 50% of your grade, so if you don't study with classmates, say adios to your GPA.

Amy Carbajal has been such an amazing help as a first year Spanish student. She's very clear on everything that is taught, and if you need additional help she is always willing to offer her office hours. She's strict when it comes to attendance and turning things in on time, but that's because she wants to establish mutual respect. 100% recommend

Professor Carbajal is the best professor I can imagine when it comes to picking up a new language. She's amazing at what she does. You'll be learning Spanish in no time. Be warned, she is not the kind of teacher that will allow for any sort of excuses. She follows rules very strictly and will expect you to do the same, no matter the circumstances.

Professor Carvajal is absolutely amazing. She's very passionate about her work and wants students to succeed. Make sure to get to class on time or you will not be able to turn in the homework for credit. Skip class and you won't pass. She's hilarious, caring, and an amazing professor. Take her if you ever have the chance!!

Profesora is EXCELLENT at her job. She has an amazingly effective way of teaching, takes the time to make sure every student is truly understanding the content, and is hilarious and makes class fun. She does take attendance, and docks you 10% for every 5 classes you miss, but it really isn't that hard otherwise. DEFINITELY choose her courses!

Carbajal is a great teacher. At times she can be a bit annoying and tries to look cool in front of the students. As the quarter went on she got really annoying, screaming for comic effect and really heavily exclaiming her dislike of Puerto Rico food etc., But definitely not a bad choice and I learned a lot from her.

A class taught on the Dominican Republic and Haiti was made memorable by Carbajal. Her lectures make the material interesting and relatable, and she is very enthusiastic. She gets to know all of her students by name and remembers things about everyone, so the classroom environment is very engaging and personal. I would definitely take her again.

Profesora Carbajal is hilarious. She can seem scary at first, but as long as you're never late to her class, and turn in homework it is an easy class. There is an expensive online textbook/workbook that you have to do before each test but they are easy assignments. I loved that class was only 50 minutes everyday, it really helps to absorb the info.

I took 101-202 with Amy and she was the reason that I'm majoring in Spanish now! She doesn't take late work, and will only give out a handful of missed days but she is so clear on what you are expected to learn / know. Ask a lot of questions in class, she loves when the students are engaged. Take her class if you can, you will learn so much!

Amy is really great!! She's really strict when it comes to her policies (especially attendance) so be sure to read the syllabus and follow what it says. She's really great about answering questions and making sure you understand. She'll help you, as long as you put in the effort. I highly recommend her!!

She's strict, but an amazing teacher! On the first day of class, she explains the whole layout of her class. HW has to be turned in right before class starts, for me it was 8am on the dot. A minute after that, it's considered late and she doesn't accept late work. She expects all her students to participate. Honestly, the best teacher I ever had.

Amy is one of my favorite professors so far at WWU. She is hilarious and is always helpful and clear. She loves when students ask questions and always explains things well unless she truly doesn't understand the question. I'm taking 102 with her next quarter but I already feel pretty solid in my Spanish skills.

Outstanding professor! You will learn above an beyond what you think you will learn. She is extremely nice and explains things very well. She has great test reviews and tells you exactly what will be on the test and how it will look, no surprises. You need to attend class, but it is always fun! TAKE HER CLASS, you won't regret it!
