Comment:
If yall like to do hw and essays and exams m-f.. well this class is for you. HORRIBLE professor, just horrible. She is a very tough grader and expects perfection. Ive taken her before, knew she was difficult, but she is full of surprises. I emailed her about an assignment months ago, never emailed back. All men and women.. FALL BACK!! SAVE YOURSELF

Very tough on grading. She can't even create proper assignments or a syllabus. Full of grammatical/spelling errors. WORST class/professor I've EVER taken at CSUSB. Exams are only open for a 3 hour period. I'd avoid her classes at all costs. Talk to an advisor or other professor to see if you can take something else. Work load gets worse towards end

I can't count how many mental breakdowns I had in having this lady as a professor. She expects perfection but she can not even space correctly when it comes to handouts on a doc. Tough grader. DO NOT RECOMMEND DONT DO IT. I can not stress enough how much stress she has caused & I already have extreme anxiety attacks NOOOO

She expects perfection and nothing less. Very hard grader and her work is confusing. I thought I knew what stress was until I took this class. Mentally draining. If you love yourself dont take it but if you enjoy torture then this is just for you.

Comment:
She is a very tough grader on exams. Only opens exams at night for 3 hours. Very picky, so if something isn't to her standards, she docks points. She's not specific. Takes long to respond to emails. Lots of homework that is worth very little. Grading system is based off percents not points. If you don't read you'll have a hard time with the class.

Comment:
Frankly, she's downright mean at times. If you give a wrong answer, she'll say something that makes you feel dumb. You need to be in your seat with a pen and paper ready for a "dictado" on the dot. I thought it was so rude how she wouldn't wait 10 seconds for everyone to pull out a sheet of paper before launching into the oral quiz.

I have to say that it was the worst experience in my life. I do not think she is fit to be a teacher, she does the complete opposite of encourage or nurture her students. Like mentioned previously, AVOID FOR SANITY.

I took this professor because i was told she nice. She is not, she will make you feel dumb and put you on the spot, she does not listen to her kids concerns. She speaks too fast and only writes in cursive. She has no patience and gets frustrated easily. If you struggled in spanish 101 do not take her! she is no help and just brings you down.

Comment:
This was an online course that requires reading every chapter and also watching the online lectures the professor posts on BB. If you do not read YOU WILL NOT PASS. There was lots of homework activities, presentations, essays and discussions every week. Syllabus due dates and BB dates sometimes did not match. Time consuming definitely.

Comment:
Very rude. unorganized. On the day of the online final, she posted it AN HOUR AND A HALF after the time stated on the syllabus, because she was on vacation. No heads up at all, people worked their schedules around the stated final time. Very disrespectful to her students & their time. Needs to realize she is teaching adults not 3rd graders. avoid.

This professor should be banned from teaching online courses, does not know how to use technology, unclear on due dates & doesn't even know how to open most of what you turn in-(resulting in zeros). Horrible communication w/students, never replies to e-mails, hides in her office & will not open door. Unorganized, unprofessional, RUDE. I would avoid

She's an excellent professor, i actually had the opportunity to learn a lot of stuff in this classroom. She made lessons super interesting and gave you the grade you really deserved. She's the one who made me change my major to Spanish :)

She's an excellent professor and nice even though sometimes shes in bad mood. (she brings snacks for the class, well sometimes) Just be on time on class & study for the "dictados". Midterms are a very easy format. Just do your work, be respectful and you will be great.!

Señora goes by the syllabus, textbook essential & due all the assignments. There will be daily “dictados” of the new terminology of at the beginning of the class so, make sure you are ALWAYS on time! There will be 2 "traducciónes" English to Spanish. There are 3 exams which are simple if you do all the work & it's also important to participate!!

She is difficult if she does not like you, she will find any way to critize students especially in her classes. She is very demanding at times and can become very rude when she is upset or under too much stress. However, if she needs you she will help you a lot. Nonetheless, she is a good teacher in the sense that she does know her material, she li

This teacher is by far the worst professor I have taken. She makes countless spelling mistakes/ grammar mistakes, and the test questions are written horribly. Avoid at all class. I was supposed to have another teacher, but she got pink slipped. They did not pink slip this teacher since she has been working here for 20 years. Avoid for your sanity

It's hard to talk about this teacher without profanity, so let's just say I loath her. Her tests/ grading is really unfair. She gives quizzes everyday, and most of her questions are tricky. I score a's in all my classes despite the rate my professor rating, but this rating on the so called "professor" i agree with.

Took classes from her 97-98. Looks like she hasn't changed much. Extremely rude for no reason. Not very knowledgeable. Spare yourself the trouble. Take Prof.Gonzalez or Correa instead (if they're still at CSUSB).
