1. instructions were confusing and spread across any documents. We had to jump through hoops and ask a million questions to get points. 2. lectures were tedious 3. I didn't learn much about Spanish literature If you have to take this class for a requirement, you can muster through. But take another prof if you have the option.

Called me a “burra”. Very rude and although slightly considerate, still very unprofessional calling a student “burra” and the rest of the Faculty calling that her diligence. Toxic.

She may have been a little harsh in the past but I think she did it because she cares for her students and wants the best for us. She is so much more accommodating now and quite honestly really funny. I have never met a more compassionate professor. That is why I have taken over 7 different courses with her. Don't listen to bad reviews.

She would gaslight her students. Did not explain the material being taught and would assign excess materials to go over. If students would ask questions she would get upset they did not already know the answer. It was not a safe environment to learn in. Overall, the courses consisted of 3 group projects.

Unnecessary work made this class fast-paced. Movie, readings and practice to do before Tuesday every week that wouldn't tie to anything, and tests combined into group projects. Important group projects, hard to get a good grade unless the project was pretty and everyone put in a lot of work. Gaucho Space was highly emphasized but hard to navigate.
