Comment:
DO NOT TAKE HER! She is the worse spanish teacher ever. I went from making A's in spanish to barely making a B+. This class is easy but she assigns so much homework and tends to lose most of it. I do all assignments make A's on the test but my homework grade is low thus why I have a B. And she is very passive aggressive as the last comment said.

Comment:
Do not take her! She is completely unorganized she lost several of my assignments. She gives way too much homework and most of the time doesn't even collect it all because she has "too much to grade". The entire class is spent going over the homework. Get ready to teach yourself. Also, her attitude is very poor. She is rude and passive agressive

Comment:
I took Professor Minguez and ended up dropping the class because I was failing. she's sooo unorganized. She gives a lot of homework from several different sources so you have to check them. She doesn't really give corrections, it's more like just marks on your paper. Not the best professor and wouldn't take her again.

She has high expectations and assigns a lot of homework. She is an amazing teacher though. The class was not a walk in the park but she was more than willing to help when asked. She offers extra credit on most quizzes and tests. If you don't show up to class, you will get left behind.

Comment:
I was surprised by everyone's comments. She is a great teacher.The homework is intense, but it helps for extra practice. I've never learned so much Spanish before from any other teacher. She has published a book on conjugating verbs and may ask students to buy it, but it is a really good way of looking verbs from a new perspective. GREAT TEACHER.

Comment:
Overall, I think she's great at what she does & she's nice. I took her class last semester for Spanish 202. The class depends heavily on the book and the supersite that goes with it. If you do the homework (she grades it) and watch the "cortos", you'll be fine. She really wasnts the students to learn and encourages participation. It's an easy A.

Comment:
This was a topics class so she often said she was making it up as she went along. The listening analyses were tedious & the exams were pretty easy if you studied. I enjoyed the performances & overall just learning about different types of music. You will have to do a presentation & most people do fine just don't burst into tears like me. lol

Great teacher! She gives you a lot of homework, but if you set aside 30-60 min, you can get it done. The homework load can seem a lot, but the homework helps you learn. She accepts late work and a very nice lady! I highly reccomend her for anybody taking Spanish 102! :)

This class was very time consuming. However, if you want to learn Spanish grammar then this is your teacher. Very helpful, extremely knowledgeable.

Comment:
Was often very condescending. Quizzes on brand new material, THEN teaches it in class (sometimes). Be prepared to pay tuition for a class you have to teach to yourself. Expects you to understand things she already understands. she has a confusing accent that can confuse newer spanish students. I'd suggest avoiding her classes.

She givs A LOT of homeowrk and most of it is pointless and just seems like she is giving extr work just to give it. She is nice and will help you but her workload is insane and not worth it, so I would not reccommend taking her class!!!

She gives a lot of homework besides what we're just studying in the textbook so it causes a lot of confusion and distress for me. She is disorganized and some classes we spend time on sections of the book I find pointless. This class has a huge workload, I will not take her again.

She is an excellent teacher who is really dedicated to her students and to the language. She requires a lot but if you do the work, you'll do well. Her verb book makes a lot of sense. It was well worth it.

Comment:
She is irritating. The only reason I'm doing so well in the class is because I have prior exposure to Spanish. She give a lot of stupid busy work. She marks down a for not having corrections, even if everything is correct! It IS possible to pass, but if you're lazy,please take someone else.
