Super fun classes and Denise is amazing! Love her! The first week can be a little scary because she talks kind of fast in spanish but after a few weeks it gets easy and most people end up with an A! We always did fun activities (she brought her dog!) and my writing got a lot better.Rate My Professors ↗

Denise is an amazing professor. She cares about her students and their learning. She is funny and you will never be bored in her classesRate My Professors ↗
One of my favorite professors! Denise is so sweet and a very lenient grader, but she also gives good feedback on assignments. Class was fun to go to, but sometimes got off track.Rate My Professors ↗
Denise is very sweet and entertaining, she makes sure everyone is involved and does what she can to make it an enjoyable experience. Essays aren't long and there's guidance throughout on writing them. Thinks of interesting assignments like going to Human Ecology and describing things in Spanish. She has a pug named Tommy :)Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Castillo is by far the best professor I have had during college thus far. She really seems to respect and love her students. After not taking Spanish for a year I was nervous about taking an advanced Spanish course but Professor Castillo made all my fears go away. Shes a blessing to have on this campus, if you can take her class, do it.Rate My Professors ↗
