Dr. Butera is a great professor. She will make you work for your grade but will help support you along the way. She also encourages you to try your best. As long as you keep up with the homework and attend class, you will be fine.

Brianna is a very caring teacher. Super accessible outside of class, always answers emails and clarifies anything that you don't understand. She is a tough grader but offers help and explanation. Genuinely cares for and wants her students to succeed.

One of the best professors at UW. She truly cares for her students success. She is willing to help clarify and make sure concepts are understood. Puts a lot of thought into her daily lesson plans, making them fun. Would take another class with Brianna again!

I had Profe. Brianna for Spanish 204 as a freshman. I read amazing reviews on this website before I signed up for her class, which were all proven true when I took it. She is a fair grader and is always willing to go over exams individually. Not only does she reply to emails promptly, but she is great for students with accommodations.
