CollegeProfessor Kiley was the best when it came to communicating with students about assignments. She's very understanding and I would definitely take her again for future courses.
Kiley is one of the most wonderful professors at UCSB. I have had such an amazing time in her course and really feel that my Spanish has improved a ton. She is fair with her grading, helps you if you need it, and fosters a class environment that makes you feel at ease. She is the sweetest person ever, literally want to be her when I grow up!
You will not regret it at all. Professor Kiley is super caring and thoughtful. She is very understanding and class is super welcoming no matter your knowledge on Spanish.
One of my favorite professors at ucsb. She is very passionate b
Very engaging class and topic, but workload is intensive. There are various assignments due every week for simple readings, that she overcomplicates. Very sweet professor, but the workload and busy work made the class much more unenjoyable.
she is my favorite prof ever!! she made the class super enjoyable and i learned sooo much. it is a looottt of work at first, but i feel like you get used to it throughout the weeks. she will def help you if you're struggling and she's very accessible! she truly recognizes the effort her students put in so you definitely have to work for your grade!
