Great professor! Make sure you attend class so you can get your easy participation points. Make sure you read the texts before class and complete the homework because she will discuss it in class or you will be put in groups for discussions. Overall, she is very patient and enjoyable.

Portfolio development is a really easy class, Professor Chichester is very helpful breaking down the process. Each class is going to focus on one part of the portfolio. However, participation is require but this will help refine your overall portfolio. If you miss the 3rd class (being a 4 week class), you cannot submit your portfolio.

Very nice lady. There is homework due before every class. 3 essays and 3 exams. 1 of the exams is very different from the other 2. I suggest going to class as much as possible because there are in-class assignments. Encourages speaking as much as possible.

Dr. Chichester was AMAZING!! I 10/10 recommend taking a class with her. We had 3 essays and 3 exams this semester. She gave us study guides for each exam and provided great feedback on our essays. A majority of class time is spent discussing readings, reviewing grammar, and reviewing vocab. As long as you do the homework and study, you'll do fine!

Professor Chichester is absolutely wonderful! She makes the class interesting and engaging with projects instead of papers. Her tests are very short and straightforward, along with her grading and feedback. Also very helpful if you see her during her office hours!

An asset to UMW. I have learned more in one course with her than any previous Spanish class I have ever taken. Presents material clearly and makes it understandable especially if a foreign language has no interest to you-- like me.

Professor Chichester is sweet and teaches the language in a very clear way. There are only a few exams, all of which have the same format and then a final. A lot of oral presentations, all in groups except for the final. Gives homework online but the class is very easy if you know Spanish.

She's so lovely! She was so helpful in matters related to class and matters that has nothing to do with anything. Whatever you want to ask her, she will listen.

Tests aren't too bad. Just attend class. Everything she lectures in class is on the test. She assigns a lot of homework assignments--but again, it's beneficial to prepare for the tests.

Professor Chichester is a very nice professor. Her class was always interesting and she really cares about each student doing well. Her grading is fair, she expects a lot, but that's just because she knows how much Spanish we are capable of.

Dr. Chichester is a great professor! She is organized and clear with expectations, and her grading is accurate. She gives work back promptly. She is challenging but completely fair, and she knows literature. I wish all my professors were like her.

I still think the grade I got is a fluke. Make sure you know how to write great prior to coming to this class. Tests were easy if you read the stories carefully.

I took this class first semester of freshman year. There are three essays throughout the semester, each about 10% of your grade. Dra. Chichester is always available during office hours and happy to look each essay over. Take this class if you get the chance!! It was my favorite of the semester

She's a wonderful professor! If you have the chance to take her, DO IT! She's very understanding and always willing to help. Although she speaks in spanish during the class, she never requires you to speak spanish to her in person. The tests are straight forward, and she tailors them to help her students get good grades.

If you don't have a grasp of the language, you will struggle. The class is entirely in Spanish and she moves very quickly through the material. Tests are in essay format and can be difficult if you don't understand/study the material assigned.

Comment:
might be on the difficult side if this is a weak subject for you. tries to tailor entire semester to students. tests are on the harder side but she will prepare you. the amount of feedback is proportional to your work (usually that's any given prof.) effort. a great class, she is a wonderful person and instructor.
