She gets really excited about what she is teaching and you can tell it's what she loves doing. The class is not taught in Portuguese so that's also a benefit for people who want to know about Portugal but don't speak the language. She is also super helpful even if it's things no regarding the class, she really knows UW", "source_url": "https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1514579", "quality_rating": 5, "difficulty_rating": 2 }, { "observed_at": "2026-09-07 16:41:20.419781+00:00", "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "source_review_id": "UmF0aW5nLTIwOTQxNzQ2", "source_instructor_id": "rmp:1514579", "instructor_name": "Ellen Sapega", "course_label": "PORT330", "course_id": null, "course_uid": null, "review_date": "2012-12-03 21:43:02 +0000 UTC", "comment": "Ellen is a very knowledgeable professor who works hard to provide informative and engaging lectures for students.
