She does not follow the syllabus at all. Came up with a surprise final at the end that wasn’t listed under the syllabus. Doesn’t provide feedback on grading. Also graded everything til the very last minute. Would assign homework randomly with one day windows to do them. Unforgiving for make up work. Overall very disorganized and inflexible.

She wasn't a bad profesor because she was strict or a stickler. She was a bad profesor because she didn't care about helping the students who were perhaps having more trouble than others. And she showed a mean attitude about questions that she didn't particularly like.

Reading and hw for every class, mandatory participation like all Span classes, 2 very fair exams, and the paper isn't too bad. Laura is overall a good teacher and v knowledgeable, keeps class interesting. Material is interesting if you're Latinx and want to learn history/why we speak Span the way we do. HW can be a bit much but it's good exam prep

Laura is an amazing professor and she definitely has a lot to teach. Some students can see her coming off as condescending, but she is overall a great professor and person. There is a lot of reading for her classes but it goes hand in hand with what she goes over in class. Not an easy A, but if you put in the work you wont think its too hard.

Laura is so smart and I've learned more in her lectures than I ever have in any Spanish class at UCSB. She comes off as strict at first, but she's super funny and makes sure that everything is clear before moving on to the next topic. She's in Spain for the next few years, but take her if you get the chance!

Laura is a tough teacher. I could never tell her anything without her finding a mistake in my grammar but I actually find this quite helpful. I have never learned so much in a class before like I did in hers. She is definitely tough and will sometimes call you out but if you really wanna learn, she is a must!
