Dr. McKenna is great. If you dont participate it will impact your grade so make sure you do the readings and work before class so you can join into discussion in class. The class is not a lecture its all discussion. She lets you redo essays after she corrects them. 3 essays, 2 exams. Hw not checked

I really enjoyed this class despite the workload. There was a new paper to right each section (3 sections- narratives, poems, dramas). The professor was pretty hard on the grammar corrections although the feedback was helpful. She is very animated in class and really enjoyable to listen to (not a lot of lectures and more questions).

Comment:
I took Dr. McKenna because her reviews were good but she turned out to be way below what I was expecting. She does not care to help you work past your struggles, she expects perfection and gets easily angered if you are less than perfect. Class is pretty boring but participation matters a TON so make sure you do the readings.

I loved this class!! It's not a super easy class, but you learn a lot. She is so willing to help outside of class and makes sure her students are engaged. Class participation is important, so make sure you're comfortable speaking Spanish and answering questions (even on zoom). There's a good amount of tests, so not too much pressure on exams.

Dr. McKenna was an awesome professor to have. She's very caring about the material and her students. I did poorly on the first exam but she helped me turn around my grade and I ended up getting an A in the class after working with her. Pay attention and participate and the class will be fine.

Dr. McKenna was a great professor! She allowed for so much personal freedom when choosing topics for papers, and you could tell that she loves the subject she teaches. She always showed excitement for the material and excitement for what the students thought about the literature, films, and art we analyzed throughout the semester. One of the Best!

Worst experience. Made me hate the Spanish language. Did not have a canvas page and wasn't responsive to emails. Hands out one sheet of paper for the whole semester that you have to follow. Wastes the whole class going over the homework.

She is one of the best professors I've had at UD. She's so sweet and caring and wants you to do well. You have to show up to class and show you care about your grade and she will love you and help you succeed. She is really an amazing professor and very clear. Take her!! You'll love her.

She's a good professor who cares about her students. Felt her test were unfair in the sense that we had so much writing and very little time to do it. She also made a lot basic grammar errors while speaking. However, she is passionate and was always available to help. If you put in the work it should reflect in your grade.

Dr. McKenna is a FABULOUS professor. She is so kind and really wants her students to succeed. The poetry section is definitely the most difficult,but so long as you pay attention in lecture, study for exams, and do the readings for class, you'll be in great shape! Also,go to office hours! If given the opportunity, I would 100% take her class again.

Mckenna is amazing and loves her students. The material is hard but she wants everyone to succeed so and is really helpful. Class was enjoyable but the poetry section is hard. You can find almost all of the readings online in English which is helpful for the more difficult assignments. I learned so much and became a more confident writer.

Professor McKenna is an amazing professor. She genuinely and wholeheartedly cares about every individual student. She expects that her students participate and make an effort, so if you do all of that you should do fine in her class. She is incredibly fair and gives plenty of opportunities for grades. If you can take a class with her, DO IT!

Such an amazing class. The first text was really hard to read and tbh I was scared but as the course went on, the reading was getting less condense. This class will challenge you but is so worth it.

Susan McKenna is my daily confirmation for my decision to add a Spanish Education major to my existing one. She understands literature, characters, and the art of human being. Very comprehensible, accessible & natural teacher. Her passion and analysis of literature is unmatched. Her love of Spain & its people make the course.

Took my Spanish Civil War colloquium with Dr. McKenna. one of my all time favorites. So sweet, and I hated how our class wouldn't participate. She's just the nicest lady, and I wanted to give her a hug every day after class! Plus, just write the papers and read the material and you're literally guaranteed an A.
