SPANISH 226
Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
I thought she was pretty good. She wasn't very engaging but was a pretty easy grader and she is from philly so she is easy to understand. Doesn't have much cultural experience to offer but I'd take her again

Monica is very friendly and encouraging, which you need in an earlier Spanish class. Class primarily consists of exercises that help you practice and prepare for testing. I would be happy to take more classes with her.

Umm... Let's just say you will be in for quite the surprise with Monica. She loves watching her students fail and deducting points from students' quizzes for simple distractions. Save yourself some stress (and GPA) by choosing a different professor.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
Spanish 226 with Monica has been easy, but has felt like more of an independent study. You are expected to read the assigned chapter and do the homework before class, then there is usually a random evaluation during class. Nothing is too difficult, but she goes through her powerpoints so quickly that you can't learn anything or copy any notes.
