Comment:

Professor Fox is very energetic which is very necessary for this course because of the boring material. She struggles quite a bit with teaching online though. She has not mastered how to put questions in for quizzes/tests and she puts students in breakout rooms for WAY too long. If you try in her class you should get at least an A-.

She is very caring and very helpful. I found her class a bit boring but maybe it's more because the subject itself is a bit boring. Her class is pretty easy though. We turn in worksheets after almost every class. My only complaints might be that her quizzes are very long and she hasn't totally gotten the hang of how to teach via online meetings.

I really liked professor Fox. I feel like "advanced grammar" isn't going to be fun no matter who is teaching it but she made it very easy with all the handouts and helpful methods to actually understand the grammar. Very dedicated to her students and is always willing to help when you don't understand something

Profesora Fox is a nice lady with a caring heart. she likes to start each day by asking about the lives of her students and she shows that she's truly interested. there is homework online every night but it is very easy and you can use the book/vocab/etc. there are tests in every unit but if u do the homework and classwork youll be fine. Lots of EC

Professor Fox is an awesome professor. The homework assigned via SuperSite was a little much sometimes, but it did not make up for a lot of the overall course grade. I would recommend, especially to those who are not over confident in their Spanish, as she is always willing to help outside of class and after class.

Professor Fox is so kind and helpful. She actually made Advanced Spanish Grammar fun (who knew it could be?)! There is homework due every class period, but it's not difficult. I would take this class again in a heartbeat! If you're taking this class, choose her!!

Professor Fox is an amazing Spanish Professor! At first, I was nervous that her Advanced Spanish Grammar class would be difficult, but she has a way of explaining things that make grammar easy to understand. I completely understood everything we studied because of her lectures. She improved my Spanish, and I hope to have her as a professor again!

Teaches much of the class in English. Very simple class. She knows what she's talking about but gets sidetracked easy. Overall very fun-loving and cheerful, and willing to help. Would recommend.

Profesora Fox is a wonderful and passionate spanish professor. However, she taught the entire class in english and made us do busy work that didn't improve my spanish. I am taking SPA 322 right now and I feel that I am at a disadvantage because she did not prepare me well at all. She's very unorganized and kind of crazy even though she means well.

I absolutely love how my class is set up with Laura Fox. I would not say class is easy, but it is absolutely set up for you to get by with a relatively easy A maybe B. Just do the work and ask questions when you're lost or confused and she will happily help you and work with you. One of the nicest teachers! She genuinely cares about you & teaching.

Fox is amazing. She is willing to help you whenever you need it. The class helped me learn the WHY of spanish grammer- not once did we have to memorize verb charts! She is very animated and a fun professor. I learned so much in this class. Take her- you won't regret it!

Sra. Fox really wants you to succeed, but the class is almost too easy, not that I'm complaining about that. There is a lot of busy work. There are exams every couple of weeks and the final is cumulative. I definitely recommend her.

very nice teacher, also the easiest to understand. she speaks the language very clearly, and makes sure that you know what's going on in the class. she even speaks english occasionally. be prepared for two oral exams though.

She has really good intentions and she is really nice but she treats her students like they are still in high school. Really easy class. There are a lot of 10 or 15 point quizzes and an oral midterm and oral final. I would recommended her.

Really nice prof who really wants her students to do well. She's is a fun teacher and tries to get everyone involved. It does kind of feel like a High School Spanish class and she does speak in English a lot. If you put in a little effort, you'll get an A. Not the greatest prof to learn a Spanish from, but her classes are painless and pretty fun.

Waste of time. She is a great person and I know she means well, but I learned...nothing. It was probably the most frustrating class I have taken so far. This is supposed to be advanced grammar, yet the majority of the class was taught in English. Her English accent is stronger than most of my classmates. To get an A, take her. To learn, don't.

Nice lady, but I didn't feel like I learned a whole lot from her class. She uses too much English in class and is very helpful and human. She should probably be teaching the 100s. Easy A.

She is a great teacher but there were only a few lectures where I felt like I was learning something. She speaks in English quite a bit which isn't good for higher level spanish classes. Easy A, small homework every class, never make you feel stupid, flexible, good class overall.
