The work really isnt that hard, there is just A LOT of it. You need to do the 10 hours of labs otherwise it will bring your grade down a lot

Comment:

She is a really good teacher. Honestly she is the best, I received an A in her class and I was missing a lot of work. She really cares about her students and the time class goes by so quick. Like you come in and sit and then the next thing you know the class is over. She is the best!!!!!!!!

Comment:

she gives WAY to much work! i dont think she remembers the assignments she gives and just gives more on top of that. she makes us do 10 lab hours, take our own notes, do the workbook for each chapter, she assigns us to do paragraphs in spanish before each test also. she doesnt explain things well at all and gives too much work during finals!

Comment:

I couldn't even tell you how much work you have to do for this class! its completely unnecessary! She makes it seem like she is trying to help but she really doesn't i mean if you suck up to her you will get a B but your in for a lot of work! ALOT!!! She speeds through each section. Your class will be on 7 while the others are on 2 its ridiculous

Comment:

Giordano gives too much work its hard to catch up which is why i always did everything in class, shes always off topic for like 20 mins at a time and will contact the dean for excess absences i would take her cuz shes easy but i wouldnt because of the work load so its up to your liking

Comment:

DON'T take her. She gives WAAAYYY too much work. I honestly had more work for her class than any other class in my college career. She'll defanitely penalize you for missing class or not attending labs. She makes u write detailed notes for EVERY SINGLE chapter too. SOO unnecessary. We're not all gonna be Spanish majors...WTF

Comment:

She is nice. She digress alot and get off topic and tell stories about her family and things that have nothing to do with spanish. She gives alot of work and expect you know spanish immediately. She teaches at a fast pace. But I like her and she is nice overall. she gives extra help if needed.

Comment:

way to much work!!! dont know what she is thinking. Nice lady overall but she teaches kind of fast for elementary spanish. If you dont want to do much work do not take her, because you get more work from her than any other class

Comment:

WaYyYyY to much work for a class that is not my core. I find myself spending the majority of my time teaching myself Spanish because she refuses to do it in class. Take her if you have no other classes.

This lady is ludacris. She thinks her class is the only class people are taking in college. I suggest that if you have to take spanish, you should not do it with this lady.

Comment:

This is a really good class to take. Giordano is a really nice lady, but there can be a lot of work if you don't keep up with all of her assignments. If you do what she asks of you, there is no way you can do bad. She's very helpful and cares whether or not you do well.
