Comment:
Nice prof, but expects too much her students. The course outline says that "You should expect to spend roughly 6?8 hours per week in class preparation and language lab activities." The reality is you need to spend double of that just to get a passing grade from her. She explains most of the things in Spanish in an introductory class. Go figure.

Comment:
she is one of my favourite profs! kind of a quick paced course, and for some she might be a bit hard to understand since she speaks mostly spanish in class. she talks about random subjects(dont worry, in english) and it can go from the locusts to the germans in argentina. overall a great prof. :)

Comment:
I like her class and her teaching style. But, I don't like the way she grades her students. She is way too harsh on participation marks. Even you speak Spanish in her class, she might end up hating you just because you are not very enthusiastic enough. Remember, DO NOT TAKE 102 with her because she never uses English to teach Spanish.

Her class was awesome. The first few weeks are rather intimidating because she starts off in Spanish right away, but don't be discouraged. You learn fast. Shes a wonderful lady and has a lot of experience behind her. Her teaching ability is very natural and you learn alot from her... plus shes absolutely hilarious.

Good class, a little challenging because she explains almost everything in Spanish. As long as you study you will do fine on tests. She has a good sense of humor so she keeps the class fun.

Nice lady but be warned: the grading scheme for Spanish at SFU is nuts. A 70-74 is a C+!! 75-78 is B-!! 79-83 is a B!!! An A is 91-95!! Oh yeah and on top of that the exams are extremely tough. Therefore I will not be doing anymore SPanish courses at SFU. Talk about discouragement!

Lilian is hilarious! You have to get used to her humour and style but once you do you're fine. This class is definitely not for slackers but if you need extra help she is always willing. Ah, she's so damn funny...
