Even if you're not good at Spanish, Gladys is such a good teacher and her classes are so relaxed. She won't make you feel stupid; she'll just correct you and help you out. She's very interested in her students lives and tries to make her class as relevant as possible to current events.

Gladys is my all time favorite professor. If you are not fluent in Spanish, her classes may be a bit challenging, as the way she speaks is at a much higher level than other Spanish professors. She is happy, positive, and really cares about her students and their grades in the class. Make sure you always come to class and pay attention!

Absolutely my favorite teacher at Ithaca College. She is so intelligent and charismatic and always learn so much from her. Her classes are always so fun, I honestly wouldn't mind waking up at 7 in the morning to go to her class, she is just that amazing. Definitely take any class she is offering, it's worth it.

Really difficult course. If you are not fluent or are not a spanish major don't bother. High school does not prepare you for this.

Gladys is an amazing professor. Her courses seem overwhelming and difficult at first, but she coaches you through them extremely well. Gladys grades on your work but also on the effort you put in, she is organized, cheerful, and very very smart. I have had her for 3 courses, and I would not hesitate to take another class with her .

I hated Spanish in HS because of my teacher. Now Spanish is my favorite class and Professor Verona-Lacey is absolutely incredible. She cares so much about you learning the material. I can't say enough good things about her.

My favorite professor in the department. She's intelligent, insightful, and encouraging. Despite my Spanish hang ups, I feel comfortable speaking and participating in her courses because she is so energetic, enthusiastic, and turned on by her work . . .
