Comment:
Professor Andrews is a good professor but she's honestly extremely rude. Treats her students like children, and talks down to you if you don't understand concepts. Not willing to help you outside of class, and has clear favoritism. Homework is all easy but the tests are difficult. Would not take her again.

Spanish is already tough as is, but this class was the bane of my existence. Minimal english, tough grader, & wouldn't help when I asked her. She didn't care if I had another class or work during her office hours, she wouldn't accommodate. I guess she meant well?

Professor Andrews is good at teaching Spanish but can get a little difficult. She will explain some things in English but most of the class is spoken in Spanish. You definitely have to study and practice writing sentences. She tells you what will be on the quizzes and tests.

She is not approachable and does not teach well. She makes you do a lot of the work on your own so if you're not already a master in the Spanish language, turn away while you still can..

Great teacher! Participation matters but it only helps you... and it's part of your grade. Homework is due before every class online but it's not hard and you get several attempts. Exam was easy. Nice lady!

She's a nice lady. The class is pretty easy so it's nothing crazy. She talks a little fast but besides that you should be able to understand everything. Sometimes she makes class fun by offering extra credit and class passes and homework makeups and stuff. A lot of daily homework online and tests are easy. She's there for help if you ask for it

Not sure why her reviews aren't too great. She's pretty easy. Only VHL online homeworks, a few tests, and a few narrative type writing assignments. She's also really nice but kinda disorganized which is frustrating at times

She was a great professor! While sometimes the class could be a good bit to handle, as long as you study some an A is easy to achieve. I would definitely recommend taking her as a teacher.

BEST Spanish Prof! She speaks only Spanish so it's sort of scary, but it's all about showing up, participating, and doing the online homework. Reading ahead helps a lot, and there's lots of group work and worksheets, and she tells you what's on the tests. She's fun, but you do have to put in the work. I wish I could have had her every semester.

She hands you worksheets and makes you work in groups the whole class. Not helpful at all, because she doesn't even teach to the class! Also expects you to ask all questions in spanish, but that is hard when she is not even teaching you.

Taken her twice. Pretty easy professor---does more cultural stuff than grammar. Her tests are pretty straight forward and attendance is mandatory. Take her for all your spanish & you'll know what to expect.

She's not easy, but not the hardest either. You definitely need to study for her class. She doesn't answer emails that you send to her. Her attendance is mandatory, and she's really strict about it. Gives homework every day, and collects and grades it.

she has an attitude problem. she will not tell you the homework if you are absent, you have to find out from a classmate. and you have to turn it in via a classmate if you do miss class. otherwise, she will not take it when you come back. hw is due the day it is due. no late hw is accepted. lotsa conversations with partners in span.

Comment:
The class is highly based on workbook exercises that she rarely goes over. It helps build grammar strength, but isn't really an enjoyable class for those who want to be fluent speakers. She can be apathetic about student needs and can be insensitive, but is a decent teacher.

ok...so my schedule says I had Andrews for my teacher, but I didn't have her as my teacher. She had a T.A. come teach the class who was horrible. She was no help at all. I managed to get a B in the class, but it was very difficult. I would switch if I got Andrews cause she might now be teaching it!

First off, I do hate spanish so take that in to account. The tests weren't TOO hard but every class is just doing the excersizes in the book. She doesn't "teach" much. Kinda a boring class. Quia is required and annoying. Class isn't fun and kinda difficult.
