Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss iykyn

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.

Took this class and learned so much that I have been able to apply what I learned to other courses for the Spanish major. Very accommodating but you need to communicate with her if not she won't be able to help you. Textbooks and novels are used in class but you can find them for free online. Section for this class is super helpful!

S20. Amongst the circumstances of the quarter, Profesora Gonzales-Smith was very accommodating. She shortened her lectures after a few weeks, made sure to give us longer windows for the midterms, and was very accessible to us. She's funny, witty, lots of personality! She is very direct, though. Go to her to get clarifications! Readings a must.

Professor Myriam was amazing, her class is pretty hard but I learned so much. As long as you show you are making an effort she will notice! If you are having a hard time she is always accessible in office hours etc. Also get to know her! shes funny

Too much work assigned for a GE class with very specific instructions. Expects full time dedication to the class, not considering the circumstances we are living in. Caring professor but it's not worth the amount of work, stress, and requirements for a GE. Would not recommend.

Winter 2020 / Professor Myriam was somewhat disorganized, and the prompts for writing assignments and group projects were confusing, but she was very accessible through email and office hours to clarify. The exams were straightforward and directly covered the topics she outlines. Don't underestimate the work and take it serious, she notices!

Prof. Myriam is amazing. Her class can be challenging at times but I learned so much. She requires participation in class and for students to take the class seriously. She is always available if you need more help with assignments since she's pretty strict with her guidelines. Work hard and she will notice. Get to know her- very funny!

Great professor, would definitely recommend taking her courses.

She gave me a D after I thought I was going to pass. I felt like she gave me that grade on purpose. She's really rude in class and favoritism amongst her students . There needs to be a different teacher for this class because she is definitely not for the culture.

While it was easy to get an A in this class, all of the lectures were unengaging and substanceless. Lecture felt like a waste of time; I basically used nothing that I learned in lecture on any of my exams. The professor is irrationally particular about certain things. I would not recommend this class, but spanish majors have to take it.

nicest lady ever. Class feels super hectic the first few weeks of class because she is so disorganized, but the work is not too challenging. Quizzes, midterms, and the final are all online so it's definitely easy to finesse an A in this class. You also learn a lot of pretty interesting stuff, although her lectures can feel like an eternity.

Myriam is not for everybody. Personally, she gave me that LatinX mom feel. Very caring and wants you to succeed. Just follow her directions, since they can be very specific, and you will do great. If confused go to office hours, willing to clarify everything! Would give a lot of feedback on my test answers but always almost gave me full points.

Super awesome and sweet professor! She makes her expectations very clear and in class she emphasizes what she wants you to know for exams. Almost daily homework that includes both reading and written work, but it's all in small chunks (only up to 2 pgs of reading per class). Encouraging; you can tell she wants you to succeed!

I took her for 16A, 16B, and 102B and she is honestly very caring towards her students. She wants her students to actually understand the material and will take the time to do so. She does get a bit confusing in class, because she contradicts herself. BUT during her office hours, she is a lot clearer and provides ACTUAL study guides for each exam.

She can be very confusing at times with directions on how to complete assignments but then grades very tough. Her class is a little disorganized and there was a lot of extra information thrown onto the GS which made it confusing to keep track.

Absolutely would not recommend. Very unorganized and assigns a lot of work. Lectures are confusing and she expects far too much for an introductory literature class.

Spanish 102L is supposed to be an intro level course, but she makes it one of the tougher upper divisions. Nobody has any idea what is going on and she is quite rude when we ask her to clarify. If you're taking the class for the minor I would recommend another teacher. Would not take again.

I took Span 16A, 102B and 102L with her and I really liked her! If you attend her office hours (she has a lot), she will clarify anything you did not understand in class because she really wants her students to succeed! I would highly recommend taking 102B if it's offered, because she is truly passionate about literature! Would take her again!

Professor Myriam is great! she is tough and has high expectation for native Spanish speakers but if you do the work, you receive a good grade. She gives a lot of homework but you actually learn from all the material presented. I took two classes with her and would take more!

Myriam is strict but she is a good teacher. She does leave a lot of homework but you actually learn in her class! I would retake another course from her if she offered it.

I really loved this professor, I feel like her office hours which are a must to do well. Ask her for help and get to know her. She can be strict about somethings in class but what professor would not be if u dont respect her time and class. Grades pretty fair. Do all your hwk assignments and show her u actually put effort and u will do well.
