Doesn't use blue line, gets offended when you ask her what your grade is in the class. Easy class but you need to show up for every class

Comment:

I took this professor for Survey of Peninsular Literature at Creighton. If you actually want to learn about/analyze Spanish Literature, do NOT take her. She spent a large portion of class time lecturing about religion instead of the material, and she spoke A TON about her personal views. Zero class conversation, all jumbled lecture, but EASY A.

Comment:

She is a sweet, kind, and adorable woman. However, she was so confusing and hard to understand. Her explanations of the material usually made it more unclear than it was before. And boy did we get a lot of homework. Honestly, her husband came in a few times to sub, and he was SO much easier to learn from. Just work thro the book and you'll be fine.

Roxanna is the best professor out there. Better yet she is hilarious! If you go to class and do the homework, you will get an A. I would highly recommend taking her!

Comment:

You could only skip 4 classes before it affected your grade. You had 6 tests and 2 essays you had to write. The tests were pretty easy and she graded sorta tough on the papers. The lectures were basically going over the homework and her rambling on over something random.

Comment:

Roxana does not give clear directions for anything she assigns in class. She changed the syllabus a lot, and many times we were left guessing when the next test or composition was due. She has trouble remembering things, names in particular. She puts vocabulary on our tests that she did not ask us to learn. This is the worst class I have taken.

Comment:

You grade your own tests. If you don't start at the beginning, eventually you will change your answers when you're grading and magically get an A on every test. You'll do poorly on the papers and speech but it doesn't effect your grade because everything besides the exam is extra credit. Even if she claims it's not.

Fun lady, keeps class exciting. RSP is going to boring and mostly pointless for every prof. No work necessary really. Take her for Spanish.

I actually really enjoyed going to Roxana's class. It was for the most part stress-free, which was exactly what I needed. Roxana really cares about her students. As long as you show that you care about the class, she is more than willing to help you out. This is one of the classes where your grade reflects your effort, and I appreciated that.

Roxana's great! She's fun and always keeps class lively. 101's a pretty simple class - do the exercises if you're truly a beginner and you'll be fine.

Roxana is a wonderful person, and instructor. She genuinely cares about her students, more so than any other professor I have had at Creighton. All you have to do is show some effort in her class, and show that you care and you will receive a good grade.

Roxana is awesome! She really care about her students and does a lot to help them in any way she can. Sometimes the book or lecture is confusing but if you talk to her things will get cleared up. Make sure you go to class and don't be afraid to participate. As long as you keep an open mind Roxana is not as scary as anyone else says.

Roxanna is one of the most wonderful professors I have ever had. She truly cares about her students and wants them to be successful. She is willing to do whatever it takes in order to make sure her students learn Spanish and the culture surrounding the class.
