Some of her lessons seem somewhat pointless, but overall she's a good professor. There's a lot of homework, and quizzes almost every week, which helps balance out your grade. I would take her again if I had to.

She really knew what she was talking about, however most times i would leave class feeling like her lesson was a complete waste of time. If you like to read sad love stories and poems in spanish then this is the class for you.

This is a hard teacher to get....I had had spanish in high school and got it pretty well. She likes to chose her favs and calls people out. TA's are awesome but she is hard to like. Using the study guide dont really help...just have to know what you are doing...

I LOVE Profesora Gillingham. She's a wonderful teacher, and she makes our class laugh every day. Her jokes are very funny and she's very knowledgeable. She understands that we're in the class because we want to be, and so therefore she likes to have fun. I don't know what those other kids who are like 'oh she's horrible' are talking about.

She is AWESOME, you can tell she loves to teach spanish. Exams are easy, she will teach you what you need to know, there aren't any suprises on them. She's really funny too. Get her to talk about her younger days she has great stories (she was a party girl).

If you know what you are doing, then this class should be a piece of cake. I had it four days a week, for an hour each day and it wasn't bad at all. She prepares you well for the test and makes sure you know what the test will be like. I found no problem with her.

Sra. Gillingham rocks! Her class was one of the most fun classes I have ever taken. She uses skits and situational comedy as a couple of her techniques for teaching. Her exams are pretty easy as long as you do the recommended work.

A great professor. She's very nice and has a good sense of humor. The class is easy if you open the book and study a bit. She uses a variety of teaching techniques and provided decent study guides, which was helpful.

This woman should not be a teacher. She is horrible - she teaches by humiliation! Beware of her and her wrath - she is not helpful and has no clue about what she's doing.

Her class is so easy its ridiculous. I never even had to study for tests because I actually learned in class, which is a rarity. Yeah, it's 4 days a week, its easier, sicne you're learning small chunks at a time. Plus, its harder to get bored. Also, keep in mind, that it is 4 credits.

Horrid. Hardest class, and prof I've ever had. Teaches students by humiliating them in front of class. Very inconsistent when grading tests. 4 days a week!!! DO NOT TAKE unless you have had spanish before. She will not teach you, she fly's through lectures and barely hits each topic. Labs R fun.

She is always willing to help those students who choose to seek help. She is also very enthusiastic about spanish and wishes to see her students do well. She gives you a handout before each test that explains the format and exactly what should be expected on the test. She is a great professor!
