Patricia is a fair and competent teacher. She absolutely has a clear understanding of the material, and she is able to convey her thoughts clearly to the class. She is very understanding and truly cares about her students' academic success.

Great teacher, fair grader. It can be a little unclear what will be covered on the exams, so don't be afraid to speak up and ask. She was always willing to help and make things clearer for us! I would definitely recommend her.

Buena profesora. She does say it's pretty much impossible to get a perfect grade on anything, but that doesn't mean you can't get an A in the class. I think there were a total of 8 "ensayitos" and 3 bigger papers and there were in-class writing assignments on pre-determined topics. Advanced grammar lessons, definitely do the reading.

Very nice lady, but HARD grader! Difficult to get a good grade in this class. You must go to every class and participate often, I would not recommend her!

She was extremely helpful and engaging in class. It's an advanced level class, so you've got to put in the work to do well. Grades are based mainly on writing assignments, but the fact that there were no exams was really nice. Try to get her for 311 if you can!

Tough class, but I really enjoyed it. Profa Rengel is a great lady, and really is helpful if you go to office hours. It is a tough class, and there is a lot of writing. She grades papers pretty tough, but I really liked it, and she is a great lady.
