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...",

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.",
