Comment:

Prof Cantu really cares about her students. She gives great feedback on every written assignment. Participation is definitely expected. There's a lot of busywork which you'll get for SPN21 regardless of the professor. My Spanish really improved with her, and she's very accessible outside of class.

Prof Cantu is a lovely professor. I took her class on theater and I thoroughly loved it. As a non-theater kid I felt that I learned so much. The work is just a lot. Constant tests, long readings before class, massive projects, etc. So if you're considering, don't slack off. This class takes your full commitment. She is a super nice person though!

Prof Cantu is my favorite Spanish professor I have had! She may seem harsh in the first few classes but if you take the time to meet with her outside of class and make the revisions she advises, your Spanish will improve tremendously! Highly recommend Cantu!!

Profesora Cantu is the best! She wants all of her students to do well, but she also gives helpful constructive criticism when it's needed. My Spanish improved so much in her class. She can be a tough grader, but she'll also meet with you outside of class to help you with your papers before you turn them in.

Profesora Cantu was honestly the best professor I had during the semester. She is invested in every student's growth and is extremely caring and respectful. Her class does require a large amount of outside reading and assignments.

Very accommodating outside of class, responds to emails and will meet with you and help you. Is extremely patient with her students, even if they do not speak Spanish well. The class challenged me, but I never felt like I couldn't handle it. Extremely nice and respectful. Count yourself lucky if you have her.

Cantu is amazing, she really genuinely cares about her students. My Spanish improved so much this semester! Very accessible outside class; I went to her office hours probably three or four times and each time was super helpful. Lots of small assignments, but enjoyable and not horribly difficult. Overall, a great class!!

This class was not particularly difficult, although it definitely wasn't one you could slack off in either. I found the workload manageable, and the lectures engaging. She did a good job of varying the classes between lectures, small group discussions, presentations, and debates. She's also very sweet and incredibly helpful during office hours!

At first, I didn't know what to think about Professor CantÃº, but after a while I learned that she is a nice, caring lady who just wants her students to improve their level of precision in the Spanish language. Assignments and their expectations are made clear ahead of time, so that students can plan in advance and put their best effort in.

She speaks very clearly and though she can seem cold at first she is actually very approachable. She is very willing to help go over papers during office hours and gives good feedback on essays. Her grading is, however, pretty hard if you are prone to little grammar mistakes. Not much preparation is needed for her class. Some essays are hard work.

I'm not super into spanish but Cantu made spanish 21 relatively painless. There's lots of busywork, but that's departmental and not really her fault. She's clear and understanding and you read some interesting stories. No major complaints.

Cantu was a great teacher! She did take off points for grammatical mistakes, especially on the compositions, but if you went to her office hours she was very helpful and told you exactly what you needed to correct to improve your grade. In general, her grading is fair and not as harsh as I thought it would be.

She's so nice and helpful. I was struggling with the grammar quizzes she gave us, and she and I met during her office hours and she gave me really helpful tips. She's also very clear about what she wants you to do, and she will answer any questions on it.

My first impression was that she was stern and unfriendly but she is actually very kind and helpful. She appreciates when you take advantage of her office hours. The class was interesting and made me more eager to pursue the language. She does deduct points for minimal mistakes but she is fair overall.
