She is a really great teacher. She expects a lot from her students but in the end she just wants everyone to do well. She is clear while teaching but she does assign a lot of homework. Her tests are easy and she is always open to questions. I would recommend her class to anyone who wants to learn and do well at the same time.

Loved her! She was very funny and helpful. Relies heavily on the textbook, you'll be using it everyday! Her tests were easy and she is lenient. Her expectations are clear and doable. I would definitely take it again!

Comment:

Very funny professor, I have her this semester. She even gets dressed up for Halloween (though she claims not every year ^.^) She includes some Spanish culture in her lessons, and gives an outline of the tests a class before they are taken. Does get annoyed at flagrant and obvious cell phone use, so try not to get too carried away. Overall, easy A.

Great professor and very nice! Just make sure you stay on top of your work - she expects you to read the syllabus and do assignments ahead of time. She's helpful if you ask for help, otherwise she assumes you understand the material.

I had her for Spain Today. Class was more difficult than Spanish IV but still reasonable. Make sure to do the homework and you'll be fine. Weekly articles and presentations required. Mid-term was a killer, don't leave studying to the night before.

This class was pretty easy. Weekly articles and class presentations were required, but all in all the class was not difficult. She is very insightful and loves what she does. She's also always around if you need help.

Dr. Amador is a very competent professor and is willing to help students to the best of her ability. As long as you show interest in or commitment to the class then she reciprocates. Also, she emphasizes the importance of culture as well as encourages students to take part in diverse language-related activities.

Great teacher. The final was just over another chapter in the book, rather than being cummulative. She is always available for help. If you are confused just ask her outside of class and she will help you understand it. She's super nice too. :)

She is a great teacher. I have her now (Fall '04) and I'd definitely take her again. She loves what she does and she tries her best to help you if she feels you need it. She bases your grade on effort and not necessarily on how well you know spanish. But if you don't do your work, she WILL fail you.
