This was definitely one of my favorite classes. She really cares about her students and wants them to do well. I met with her weekly to improve my pronunciation. If you read the book/listen in class, you'll get an A. I would HIGHLY recommend taking this course with her!Rate My Professors ↗
She is great! Easy class as long as you read the text and do your homework. You have to go to class. Exams are exactly what you expect, no surprises. You don't have to study much for exams as long as you attend class, keep up on readings, and do homeworkRate My Professors ↗
Frantzen is awesome. I had her for 320 before this, and hope to take her again. She is really clear about everything (material, class expectations ...) and pretty funny too. If you have the chance, take a class with FrantzenRate My Professors ↗
One of the best spanish profs in the department. She's a huge stickler about details and you can only miss two classes, which sucks. But, if you REALLY want to learn something, she definitely knows what she's talking about. Do all the textbook readings and homework and this class will be a cakewalk.Rate My Professors ↗
She is very kind and compassionate about her students.Rate My Professors ↗
Im sorry I totally disagree with these other comments. Diana is horrible, she is too strict for her own good and is very picky about details that she herself dosen't even remember. Take with someone else if possible she is not a good professorRate My Professors ↗
