Good: I was impressed with her level of Spanish - she knows her stuff. Was very helpful and learned everyone's name the 1st week of class. Explained concepts very clearly, although she didn't tell us when homework was due. Bad: You read a LOT and she grades your papers pretty harshly. However, it's not hard to get an A or B. I'd take her again!Rate My Professors ↗
Marin is easy to understand and helps you through the readings, but she is a relentless grader. I thought I was pretty good at Spanish until I took this class. The exams are terrible and the lectures are pointless. I wouldn't take this class unless you absolutely have to.Rate My Professors ↗
Marin is by far the best TA to get for Spanish 224. She has wonderfully clear speaking and is very helpful. She encourages everyone to come to her office hours and will go the extra mile to help you understand. I owe my success to Marin!Rate My Professors ↗
Marin is amazing!! Very clear and VERY nice!Rate My Professors ↗
She definitely knows her stuff! Very knowledgeable and speaks clearly! Participate a lot, raise your hand for everything. The class is very particular because it's all grammar, so study the assigned readings! Some of the quizzes are harder than you'd expect.Rate My Professors ↗
