All of the work including homework, quizzes, and tests are on the Supersite (A textbook you buy with an access code). Professor Calico is sweet and answers all your questions fast! Grading Criteria is clear even though there's a lot of homework. Don't wait till the last day! Though, all of it is straight forward. Do your work, and you'll get an A!

Professor Calico was great. I took her for summer semester online. You have to by the access code but other than that the work and the tests were easy there is only five, the fifth is the final. She is easy to contact and communicate with. Definitely recommend taking her.

Comment:

I am currently in Professor Calico's Spanish 1001 online class. If you are thinking about taking Spanish online, take it with her. I was nervous at first, but she makes everything very clear in the first few weeks of the semester. All hw, quizzes, and tests are on the VHL Supersite. Very pleased with how this class has been run!

Shes super sweet she gives reminders of assignments and tests which is so thoughtful, all you have to do is complete the online assignment every week and you have the book so it isnt hard. I would take her again anytime

She is very nit-picky about class participation, attendance (especially tardies) and homework. She is thorough and detailed, helps explain the irregular grammar rules where you can remember them.

Took Profesora Calico online Summer 09. She is a great teacher and I would recommend her to anyone. Her course does consist of a lot of workbook activites that you have plenty of chances to get a score of 100, but hey this is college. Plus she responds to emails quickly and is always willing to help.

Comment:

She is a nice lady but does not teach well at all! She spends a lot of time just talking and not teaching. Do not take Prof. Calico unless you are good at teaching yourself and are ready to do ALL work online. I didn't take a lecture class to not be taught. I definitely would not take this teacher again.

Profesora Calico is the best teacher at GPC! She is so passionate about teaching and keeps you interested with her upbeat personality. She cares about her students and wants you to do well. I wouldn't want anybody else teaching me a new language but her! Take her!

Comment:

Nicest person in the world, but doesn't teach. She expects you to learn by doing tons of homework before she goes over the concept. She checks it in class and tells you what you did wrong, but that's the only teaching she does. If you're a good self-teacher you'll be fine, but if you need someone to explain it to you before you practice, STAY AWAY!

She is adorable and very fun. She is always in a good mood and eager to teach her students. She is really helpful and explains the material VERY well! You have to study or you will fail, but it's foreign language right? She is very perky and upbeat and if u pay attn, you will do very well in this class. :) I reccomend taking her!!

Comment:

Very nice teacher, but she makes you read & do exercises in the book before she even teaches the material. Basically you're teaching yourself Spanish. She spends at least 10-15 minutes of class socializing before beginning to teach. One time she was socializing for 40 minutes. I was sitting there and thinking when is class actually starting?

She is the only good Spanish teacher at the Dunwoody campus. Just stick with it and if you need help ask her, just dont give up and you will pass. She is also a very nice lady as well, will take her for next Spanish class

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. If you want to get a good grade and expect the proffesor to help stay away. Im struggling and so are several other smart/studious students. One girl said that she had all A's and now She could break the D mark in this class. Calico doesnt teach the class she expects you to know it or learn it from the book. AVOID, I SHOULD HA

She's too nice! She spends too much time socializing and expects you to learn form doing tons of reading/homework from the book and Websam rather than teaching it during class! Great if you're already good at Spanish...
