Prof. Mercado is nice and caring. Though Canvas is very unorganized, homework varies significantly each night, and you get homework after every class. Participation grade in class, lots of group work. Some nights we had 3 hours of homework and you could not really plan your week well and it was very unclear. Avoid if those things bother you.

Sarli is a very empathetic professor who clearly cares a lot about each of her individual students and is very understanding in terms of deadlines and attendance as long as communication is established. After having taken Spanish311 with Sarli I genuinely feel that my abilities to write in Spanish have noticeably improved.

Sarli is very kind and a great person but a disorganized professor. Deadlines were always shifted or changed, Canvas was a mess, and communication outside of class was a bit rough. I learned a lot listening to her Spanish but was a bit stressed during the semester with the lack of clarity on assignments. Sarli is lovely but grading took weeks.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
She is a super nice person, but VERY disorganized. Every week expectations and deadlines were changed. I was always confused on what was due, and it was never clear on the grading expectations/what we had to do for our homework. She is very nice, definitely cares, but is completely unorganized and very unclear on everything regarding the class.

I loved having Sarli for Spanish 311! She truly cares about her students and makes class engaging for a topic that would typically be kind of boring. I would really recommend taking one of her classes!
