Knowledgable professor and extrememly helpful if you go to her office hours or participate in class. Be prepared for a lot of homework though. Attendance is mandatory and she'll mark you down if you miss class. Participate, do your homework, and ask for help, and you'll enjoy her.Rate My Professors ↗
Great Professor, attend class, go to her office hours, ask questions in class and you will do fine. There is a lot of work involved, but manageable. She grades essay's hard because she want her students to become better writers in SpanishRate My Professors ↗
She is a bit rough to take a class with but you do learn a lot. She sometimes will ramble on. I do feel that there could be less hw seeing as most of it is just busy work which is annoying and a waste of time. Be prepared for the tests as they can be a bit brutal. The papers are pretty easy though. Good spanish prof but not the best...Rate My Professors ↗
She's a good Spanish teacher, and has a lot of energy, even for the 8:50 classes so be ready to give examples from the hw and participate. There's a ton of hw and writing but it's definitely manageable and she's an easy grader. If also worth it to go to her office hours, she answers any questions and it helps when she grades your papers.Rate My Professors ↗
Just do the work, come to class, put in some effort, and have some enthusiasm. Study for the quizzes if you can.Rate My Professors ↗
She was a great professor, although maybe a little intimidating at first. She really helped me become a better writer in Spanish!Rate My Professors ↗
