Barbara is a good person and a good teacher. Just wish the class was not almost all participation.

Barbara is awesome. As long as you participate somewhat, you will do well. She is very caring and helpful. She made Spanish fun and interesting while still helping us learn a lot. Would take her again.

Barbara is fantastic. She is super engaging, and class went by quickly because she made it fun. She is so kind and I learned so much in her class. 100% would have her as a professor again. side note: take notes on the mindtap activities when it is teaching you something. It doesn't take long and it was really helpful when studying for tests.

Barbara was absolutely excellent. She truly cares about her students' success. She is very flexible and accommodating as well. In 203 participation and attendance is everything, as long as you actively participate and show up to class, it is super easy. Sometimes the course material gets bland, but she does a great job making it fun and relatable!

I absolutely loved her! She gave me several extra resources to catch up on my conjugation and is so willing to put in the work to help her students. She asks us about the quizzes and tests and uses our feedback to create future quizzes and tests. She's just incredibly kind and a fantastic professor! 10/10 would recommend.

Barbara was amazing. You could tell she cared a lot about her students. The things we did in class was exactly what was on the exam. She gave us practice exams that lined up perfectly with actual exams. Overall she prepared us very well. She made class fun with games or other activities. She is from Spain which also gave class a fun twist! 10/10
