she throws you into the deep end, only talks in spanish which makes it hard especially if you don't have a strong Spanish background. SO MUCH HOMEWORK, literally over 200 homework assignments. There is an oral exam that has to be a 5 minute long convo which is a bit absurd considering this was an intro level course. I honestly dreaded this class

She was very sweet and amazing till our final grades were released. The average on the final was 60% and will not be curved, so goodbye to everyone's GPA's. Very harsh grading on midterm and final, especially for the first introductory Spanish class.

Excellent teacher, very helpful and knowledgable. Very kind and approachable.

extremely difficult grader. Doesn't go over the homework but excepts you to know everything/write fluently on the writing assignments. She runs class typical to the spanish department except is incredibly nitpicky when it comes to grading and writing. Cried for hours because of this class. Save yourself.

Comes across as nice but when it comes to grading she marks you off for every little thing. Graded essays like we were supposed to be fluent, even though this is a lower-div class. Overall just a poor teacher and bad grader. Avoid if you can!

Nice person and all but as a professor her class style wasn't supportive of learning Spanish. We mostly talked to our peers for every class, hardly learned from her bc of VHL and had little support irl. Biggest gripe is her extremely nitpicky grading. Nothing is good enough for her and would take points for weird reasons. I'd avoid if I were you!
