She has her favorites, and, unfortunately, it doesn't have to be the best student. She likes who she likes, just because. Don't be fooled by her nice character or by the beautiful comments on your works. She can say you are marvelous and give you B in a work of A.

All the content responsibility is for students. She doesn't look to be so prepared, she never says what she thinks about anything. When we cannot agree about something, we ask her, but she never responds, she says that the student presenting the topic is the responsible of the class. Is this a strategy? Beside, too much homework.

Comment:
She makes Spanish very uninteresting. Class consists of doing worksheets which she hasn't figured out yet and talking about pointless things IN ENGLISH. She does not teach structured grammar and tests are mostly written response questions. Easy but you won't learn a lot.

I enjoyed having her as my Spanish professor. She gives out a lot of homework, but it's not too complicated. Make sure to always do the assigned readings and sheets, because you will go over everything in class!

Mellissa is awesome! She is a really great professor. She will stop and help you if you need it. The only thing is that you have to make sure you do the homework before class, because you WILL be called on!

Gave me a lot of extra help outside of class. The novel we read was a bit challenging, but the quizzes weren't too bad. I definitely recommend her.

Comment:
Professora Wallace is the reason I changed my major. She is awful when it comes for a student actually trying to learn Spanish. She doesn't use speaking exercises in class--ever, and lectures in English. I lived in Nicaragua prior to coming to UW-L last year and my Spanish level has evaporated. Those who can't do, teach.

I really don't think I learned much in this class. We never talked out loud to practice and our main focus was on reading a novel and writing essays. I honestly can't think of anything new that I learned.

Lot of homework, but easily the greatest Spanish professor I've taken so far in college. Explains concepts very clearly and is very understanding. An A is definitely attainable if you're willing to work.

Super easy class. She speaks a lot of English which is good if you want an easy A. However if you are actually trying to learn Spanish it really sucks.

Wallace is great! Tons of homework. Let me reiterate: Tons of homework! But, it's worth it. An "A" is attainable if you stay on task. She is incredibly kind, upbeat, and helpful.

Very easy to understand, and has very effective test-taking methods--she actually allows group exams in addition to individual exams. She was a joy to listen to, and very willing to offer an extra helping hand.
