Comment:

So bad. She is really confusing, gives so much busy work, and doesn't seem to really care about her students. She also moves very quickly and then there is a huge section about it on the test.

Not very willing to give help outside of class and not understanding of any problems that students have. It seems like she hates teaching and all of the students are just annoyances.

I did not like her as a prof. She never knew my name and wasn't helpful when I did come in for extra help. PLEASE take Spanish with another professor.

Comment:

She knows her topic very well, just teaching it is a different story. She was very condescending towards me and fellow class mates. She will pick you out if you do not know something and make you feel stupid. Also, in groups, if you are trying to help someone or talk about something, she will "hush" you

Comment:

Terrible class, not applicable to real life, or at least were im from, she is mean and harsh, and also doesnt give a crap about freshman, and yells at you if you try to help other kids in the class. She thinks her stuff dont stink.

Doesn't take kindly to students who ask questions because, "it says in the book". If you are fine learning from a book, great if not, find a prof that will answer your questions.

Comment:

I am taking her again for Spanish II. Not the best professor. At times she slips into a "since you are learning a new language you must be stupid" persona. But otherwise, good professor and not that hard. (I said hard because Spanish is rough on me)

Not a good teacher. Acts like Spanish is God's gift to the world and English is something the dog just left behind. Very condescending at times,didn't know my name until the very last day of class in an interactive class where I have participated. Suck
