Comment:

Very quiet, sweet professor. Her lecturing isn't the greatest, but as long as you put it some effort and participate when she asks you to, she's very lenient. Exams aren't difficult at all, and she does her best to make the class interesting by bringing in cultural items and doing silly dances. She's a little all over the place, but reallyworth it.

Comment:

Not the best professor. She is really hard to understand in Spanish AND in English. Assignments don't have clear instructions. The SuperSite she uses is also complicated, randomly grading CORRECT answers as WRONG. Communication is difficult. She says "don't use the Google translate" but that's what she probably uses to give instructions in English.

At first I couldn't stand her but she grew on me and became one of my favorite teachers. She wants you to pass and is a reasonable grader. She's really funny too.

She really cares about the students doing well. She can be confusing sometimes but to be totally honest you get used to it really quick. If you need a language credit, take spanish 101 & 102 with her. Show up and participate and you're good to go bud.

I loved her. I have never taken spanish in my life and got an A-. Just do the super site work. She truly wants everyone to do well and will let you hand in things late. She's hard to understand but she is a very sweet woman. I had to self teach myself from the textbook a bit but all doable. Nothing hard. She is funny and class goes quickly.

She cares a lot, and is willing to help. If you are good with Spanish its an easy A. If you struggle it can be a bit tough. She is confusing but is a good teacher. She expects you to work hard but is overall good. attendance is mandatory. But I have yet to meet a person who wouldn't recommend her.

She is so nice and give students a lot of opportunities to do well. She's a little hard to understand and I recommend going to class especially on computer lab days instead of having to make it up later. Textbook and super site is used frequently. Few tests and helps you through oral exam

I have never taken a spanish class a day in my life but I have learned so much. She gives a lot of Supersite which is easy and helps you learn. Tests are easy and reviews what to expect. She is very sweet and lenient. She is a little hard to understand but you get used to it.

My favorite teacher at oswego. Treats her students like they are her kids, such a sweet lady. Makes you learn by having you sing and play games, very funny lady. Works a lot in the workbook, book used for every class, dont miss lab days. Helps a lot with stuff that isnt understood. Last test is very hard however.

good teacher. makes the class go by faster than usual. Really wants to help students learn Spanish. Workbook homework every class and tests aren't really that hard. Cultural assignments are a **** but other than that a good class.

Comment:

She can be fairly hard to understand some times and isn't that clear when giving instructions on assignments. The work however, is pretty easy and she helps you a lot. Study a little bit, do the homework, and you'll get a B+ or an A-. She simply refuses to give out anything higher than a 94.
