Comment:
I'm a Spanish minor and I found this class very fun. Her stories are hilarious, and if you take good notes and attend most lectures, you will do well. You will not know your grade, but you can guess based on participation and the exams she gives back graded. She is willing to help after class as well.

She doesn't post your grades, but if you participate (definitely speak up!) and take good notes you will do well. Her stories are hilarious, and you will not be bored. She was always willing to talk after class about anything confusing. If it fits into your schedule, definitely choose this professor for this class.

She's tough. She's abrasive. She's a little crazy. If you're a major and ready to get down to business, she will open up and be ready to work with you at any time of day on any topic. If you're not into Spanish, she'll be able to tell, and she will eat you up. If you want to learn, you will learn a LOT. For those faint of heart, find someone else.

THE BEST!! She is such a knowledgeable woman that goes beyond what needs to be taught and teaches everyone life lessons while doing her everyday teaching. All you really need to do is pay attention and read the material that is in the syllabus, she gives out pretty straightforward exam practices and all you gotta do is study from them.

Comment:
She is insane. There is no other way to put it. You cannot talk to her and she does all your grades by memory, not writing anything down. So at the end she just thinks up a grade for you. She won't know anyone's name throughout the semester so go figure on how she comes up with a participation grade for you. She majorly wastes class time.

Take this one with a grain of salt because she wasn't very fond of our class. Make sure you participate!!!! You won't have a good idea of your grade throughout the semester. She is helpful if you have issues with a paper. Her study guides were helpful as well.

She's fantastic! We didn't really follow the syllabus, but she was a wealth of knowledge. Not to mention that she's hilarious and made us homemade paella for the last day of class. I enjoyed her throughly.

Just like most Spanish classes, you never follow the syllabus, just make sure you listen in class to know what's going on. Very interesting prof. Good stories. Very approachable. Supposed to speak only Spanish but would talk in English if class didn't understand the concept. Keep up on reading, come to class and participate and you'll get an A.

This class was really easy. She tells you to read a lot of stuff, but then goes over it in class. Make sure you proofread your papers and you'll get A's on them. She tries to make class as interesting as she can. Make sure you participate in class and you'll be fine. Class isn't too hard to get a good grade in, just put forth a little effort.

Comment:
She says whatever is on her mind, good or bad. I felt intimidated to participate b/c she humiliated many other students. If you have bad grammar, she announces it to the whole class. Funny, helpful, caring, intelligent, but she doesn't think before she speaks and she ends up hurting a lot of people

I love her! She is one of my favorite professors here. She can be intimidating at first. Her classes are not for the weak. Do you work and participate and she's great about helping you whenever you need it. I'll miss her while she's gone. I'd definitely recommend her.

I am SO sad that she's going on sabbatical! Fernandez is a great professor; I have had her now for three classes and she gets better every time - she loves to teach, she loves literature, and she will CRACK you up! Take her! Of course, you'll have to wait until winter of 2006...boo for you!

Laughed my butt off; she's one of those profs who's been teaching for a while and says whatever she wants. She is knowledgeable, however, and even though she can seem a bit abrasive, the class is pretty easy and she tells great stories.

Her bark is worse than her bite. She scared the crap out of me at the beginning out of the class, but she's not bad at all - she's actually quite funny. Just be respectful and participate in class. I hope to have her again.

She is a kind person and knows what she teaches, though her method of grading is questionable. Make sure you keep tabs on your grades, she isn't very organized.
