Comment:

This profesor has not adapted well to the online class environment. Her organizational problems show in this online format. However, she makes things more fun and is willing to talk about ur problems. Mylab assignments every class period, exam per 2 chapters, poems and stories and questions about them and assigned module activities.

Profe Primoza is AMAZING. She is a great time. Get ready to struggle with Spanish, but at least you'll be in a class with an entertaining wonderful person. My course with her was abroad in Spain, so it was faster than usual. She really cares and comes up with fun ways to learn the material. Just study. Do your part and you'll do fine.

Comment:

To give you an idea my class started with around 30 students and within a week 16 students dropped. By the end there was around 10. She gets offended easily and shes the worst teacher Ive ever had. I absolutely hate her and so did the rest of my class. Shes confusing and cant explain her grading. She doesnt even use canvas. Stay away.

Comment:

Primoza is a gem. She is extremely helpful if you are having trouble, hilarious, and conducts her class in a way that pushes you to really learn the material. If you are taking Spanish to learn Spanish, I could not recommend a professor more than her. If you are looking to skate an easy A without putting any effort in, look somewhere else.

Comment:

Profe is a great teacher. She is very generous with partial credit and late work. The tests are fair and tells you whats on them in advance. She really cares about you learning the material. I took her in Spanish 101 and 201. My only complaint is that she makes one too many jokes about Trump for a Spanish class. A very nice lady. Hasta la vista.

Comment:

Class is conducted mostly in English. She is not clear and changes requirements after the work is completed. Learned more and felt more confident after Spanish 101 than after Spanish 102. Even the native speakers found her course confusing. She is the Spanish Chair, so she won't offer student evaluations. Take the class from another Professor!

Comment:

Overall profe Primoza was a great teacher. She has a ton of pop quizzes, but she drops like 5 or 6 lowest ones AND if you return them corrected you get extra credit homework points. As long as you do the homework and actually do the activities in class you SHOULD pass. Just keep in mind it's a 5 credit class, there's a ton of work.

Profe Primoza is a really good teacher - she cares about your learning process. Not a harsh grader at all and gives many extra credit opportunities if needed. All you need to do is come to class, participate, and with some genuine effort you'll get to learn some Spanish and get a good grade.

Comment:

Professor Primoza is a solid teacher. You can tell she really cares about you learning the material. I personally suck at pronunciation, so when ever I made a mistake she would stop the whole class until I got it right. If you are looking for someone who cares about you actually learning she is a good pick.

Profe Primoza is a caring and great professor! She gives lots of opportunities for students to make up points and her grading is fair. She does assign a lot of homework, but that combined with class activities will only help you do well on the tests. I found that I didn't have to spend too much time studying outside of class.

Comment:

She did not explain what she was teaching well, so just self study or get a tutor. It's easy to pass her class but you won't learn anything. She spent most of the semester scolding these two boys in my class. If anyone questioned her teaching or got frustrated with her then she would cry in the hall, in the middle of class. I do not recommend her.

Comment:

If you have questions, your better off to google them. Gives Mesa a bad reputation, thinks it's acceptable to talk about other JC schools in the district in a derogatory way. Our class fell behind and was cramming chapters towards the end of the semester and boy, I was confused on her teaching skills.

Worst teacher at Mesa. Don't take her class. You'll regret it. Horrible at explaining, doesn't know what she's doing, she doesn't care about her job. And how the heck is she part of the head department? Blows my mind...

Comment:

Loud, rude and flaky. How she became a Spanish Teacher remains a mistery. She could not even explain a simple term. She was always frustrated and half of the semester thinking about herself, her husband, her paycheck.
