took 2201 online. Very sweet lady. Tough grader though. Makes you work for it. Slackers beware. Felt like I was doing homework basically every day. She's available when you need her or have any questions, and will work with you on improving your grade on projects. 5/5 would take again.

She was a good professor to have, however even though this wasn't an online class, all the homework and tests were online. So, you didn't really need to show up to class, but she gave participation points if you did show up. The tests and quizzes were easy and you could use anything for them, so that was nice.

One of the sweetest professors I've ever had! She's not very clear about deadlines and you have to be on top of all the assignments. She's really funny and makes the class fun. Attendance not mandatory but recommended because it counts for participation points. If you participate in class and ask questions, it's an easy A!

She's not clear about deadlines. She made an announcement that a project was due on Tuesday 9/8? The 8th of September was Thursday. Then I look on the syllabus and it said it was due on Wednesday?? WTH. She got a lot of emails for the project itself for being unclear. A lot of good material &practice to help you. The teacher is just unhelpful.

AVOID IF YOU CAN. Took an online class with her. If you work a full time job and go to school full time, it's going to be brutal for you. Does not respond to emails, does not show up for webchats, will not reschedule webchats. For a book that encourages imagination, she really puts you in a box. 2 for clarity because the syllabus is thorough.

If you'd like to learn a little bit more about Latino America, she is he teacher to learn it from. You need to go to every class to get a passing grade. She is also very flexible with deadlines. She doesn't only teach you Spanish but about the College culture and the resources available to us students. She likes learning too. Great teacher overall.

Very unhelpful and does not care for the students learning. I took her summer course last year while working a full time job and she would not arrange different times to meet for a 10 minute web cam chat thats worth 25% of your grade. Currently going through the dean to fix this. Unfair grader as well because my friend and I put in the same work.

I just finished with her online Spanish 1101 course. No matter how hard you try, you won't ever get full credit for assignments. Got really low grades on a few assignments, not really sure why, I do the same thing for every assignment. She is very nice though and gives good feedback. Said didn't give EC because its a intro class, like that matters?

Shes awesome! She not only teaches Spanish but Latin Culture during her lectures. VERY INSIGHTFUL. Always allows for makeups. Easy class but a fun one! Knows her stuff and wants to see everyone pass with an A. Attendance is important or she'll call you out on it. Class transfers everywhere. basically. Def take any class with her its worth it:)

She's amazing. Super flexible on deadlines for the online hw. Always there for u and u can ask her anything. Participation is part of the grade but u get the marks for just showing up. She real cares about her students and u can email her about anything u don't understand. I think the classroom is better than online because u get the atmosphere too

She honestly cares about her students and wants everyone to learn. She tries to grade based on your personal ability, and that's great because it pushes you to do the best you can. Make sure you stay on top of the assignments. It's an easy A so long as you actually do the work. Don't be lazy just because it's your native language.

She seriously cares about her students. I had to miss a lot of school this semester and she was very understanding. However she always goes over her scheduled class time. Other than that highly recommend!

She cares a lot about her students. Make sure you write down the assignments she gives you; a lot of times they won't be listed on the calendar in the syllabus. She is very understanding about late work. I've had her for three semesters and it's been a great experience!

She was very nice and pretty helpful. The class moves quickly, but if you study for her tests they are easy. She is lenient for the final oral exam, and you can get a ton of easy points from doing the online work. I got an A. Take her :)
