Comment:
Required to take this class. She did not really teach, we just did activities in the textbook a lot. She graded too strictly, especially on participation. She expects you to raise your had for EVERYTHING even at 8am. Wasted more time studying for this class than the one's in my actual majors.

Comment:
If you get a single accent wrong you can get the entire sentence wrong. She requires you to be involved more than twice per class (Even though there's so many people). If you also fail one or two tests than good luck. Very hard to pass and the oral exam is way too difficult (She asks hard questions if she suspects you aren't prepared.

She is very nice, homework is easy, tests are pretty easy but she takes off points for the littlest things.. and it adds up. Participation is necessary, it will hurt your grade a lot. Would recommend to take someone else.

Comment:
Professor Bell and I feuded all semester because I already knew the material. Class was boring and easy for me, although she takes points off randomly. Others in my class found the class VERY hard. At the end of the class we made up. She wants to be needed. Not a bad lady, but honors kids or kids with above-average Spanish skills should avoid her.

This is an overall good class. Tests are simple and not tricky. Homework helps tremendously. It is vitally important that you participate in class so ask questions. She can be very annoying and a very tough grader but she is very helpful and explains things well. I did not like her personality but it is easy to do well in the class if you try.

Class wasn't very hard, but she is very meticulous about grading and definitely PARTICIPATE or it will hurt you! I got C's on participation grades but B/B+'s on my tests/classwork. Dumbest grade ever, Go to class as well.You're allowed 4 absences. Just study a few days before the test and definitely do the online HW assignments.They do help.

Go to class...ask for help when needed. Do the online homework as it will help give you clarity. Study the exam review she posts on Sakai. you must review the material every night to do well. Enjoyed her class, just hated the oral exam. STUDY for that in advance do not wait until the night before!

Comment:
Head of the Spanish Department, so she expects everyone to be perfect. Extremely hard grader, and doesn't have very much patience. She explains things once, and if you don't get it too bad. There are a LOT nicer, easier, more understanding profs out there. Take one of them.

Extremely hard grader. She's very picky about everything. It's possible to get an A, but it'll be harder than if you took another teacher. If you have trouble, go to office hours, she's very helpful. And PARTICIPATE. Don't be shy in this class, since it will hurt your grade if you are

What can I say about profesora bell.she's decent as a person but not as a teacher and that is the honest truth. i've always loved spanish but after taking this class i am fearful of taking another spanish class. SO METICULOUS ABOUT EVERYTHING. taking this final and getting out of there. best of luck to her.

Good teacher. Not the best I've had in Spanish, but she does try to help students understand as much as possible. I found her class to be easy and her grading really fair. If you study for the tests, you'll do fine. They're laid out just like the worksheets she makes us do in class.

I really despised Professor Bell's class. She is so fake. She smiles in your face and tells you that your grade is okay and everything will work out then you get your grade back and it is the complete opposite. I have watched her give other students feedback without really explaining why they are wrong. She is terrible avoid her class at all costs.

I found this professor to be a decent one. She does help you if you ask and doesnt go to fast. Plus she is the one who makes all the tests for 106 so she knows what will be on there and what you should know. Her grading isnt harsh. Just pay attention. Its college spanish

This woman is the ultimate in frustration, and THE consumate nitpicker. Instead of teaching she spends her time harraunging people about tiny mistakes like missing accent marks. Easy, but useless...take with someone else

Not a bad professor but by no means a great one. sometimes hard to comprehend what she's talking about. if you take notes normally, you better be a fast writer. i wouldn't recommend her.

Comment:
She came of as kinda mean at first and it seemed like she didnt really like anyone in the class, but if you talk to her and participate then she likes you...tests arent bad-she grades pretty fair but kinda tough. Id not reccomend her if youre looking for the easy A. Its more likely to get a B...
