Sincerely interested in helping stdnts learn the language as well as culture. Brings in articles, short films, etc related to Spanish culture & events. Flexible as teacher. Has a personality. I do not like to rate easiness b/c this is a foreign lang clss.

Fantástico! Amazing professor! She makes you want to be a better student. She truly cares, very motivational and always willing to help. If there were more instructors like Dr. Falzon, NVCC would be a better learning institution.

Excellent teacher. Very difficult, but if you get an A in her class, you deserve it for sure. Only downside is she makes you get your lab hours in per WEEK as opposed to per semester. Has great sense of humor and will make every effort to help you.

Doctora Falzon is relaxed, methodical, straight-forward and low-pressure in her teaching style-also has a great sense of humor. I hated Spanish until I started taking it from her! I highly recommend her to everyone!

for take home quizes and tests take her in 6 weeks, Only As were given unless you missed a classes or came late a lot

Falzon is probably the best professor at NOVA. You will come out of class truly loving Spa. She is clear, understandable, fairly easy exams and quizzes, and genuinely cares about her students. If you really want to learn Spa take this class.

Profesora Falzon is an amazing amazing professor. She is truly competent. If you don't like Spanish, you will. She is just excellent.

Professor Falzon is arguably the most competent and excellent Spanish instructor in Northern Virginia if not the region. She is engaged in her lessons and teaches with passion and subtle humour that keeps even a 2 1/2 hour lecture interesting. It is because of her that I have decided to minor in it!

Dr. Falzon is incredibly dedicated to her students and to their grasp of Spanish. Even students who struggle with the class are not left out--she is wonderful--if you put in a genuine effort, she will give you help.

Mrs.Falzon is the greatest teacher I've ever had, especially for a Spanish class!She is so dedicated to teaching the correct material to her students, that she will spend hours outside the classroom to help.She's a wonderful and extremely bright woman with tons of knowledge to offer her students.

I LOVE MRS. FALZON.HONESTLY, tries her best to help you understand.Doesn't move on until everyone understands.ASK questions if you don't get something, she WILL answer it.Hardly any quizes, or tests. Put forth effort,even if your failing she'll pass you because you tried!!! Best teacher at NOVA.

A professor who teaches purely to dedication to students and the subject. She will stick by your side as you learn. A bit scattered brain...checks hw that she never assigned, but aren't most Spanish professors? Overall, a good professor, recomended highly.

shes one of the best teachers ive ever had. she knows what shes doing and you can tell she actually likes teaching. if you ever need any help, shes very approachable and will answer all your questions. you just go over hw in class. she tells you exactly what's going to be on the tests. dont be late or miss too many classes (no more than three).

Falzon is incredible! She truly cares about her students. Quizzes and tests come exactly from the book. Attendence counts for 20% of your grade, whereas quizzes are only 15%!! Basically as long as you show up, and do your homework, it should be a breeze. Falzon is by far one of thebest professors I have ever had. STRONGLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!

A difficult situation because Dr. Falzon is the best Spa prof. at the Annandale Campus. The problem? She doesn't teach well. Assigns homework before explaining the material. Very difficult class if you haven't had Spa before.

Dr Falzon is very clear on class requirements, and if you attend class, lab and do the homework, you can't help but pass. If you actually study, you can do well. I really like her,and she will do anything to help a student who tries.

One warning: she is NOT an easy teacher. However, I get frustrated with how many other students here at NVCC choose professors on "easiness" and not ones that will challenge them or actually motivate them to learn something. Falzon is very challenging, but if you try she will help you and you are more likely to pass.

I had three years of spanish in high school, (I got mostly C's) but I got an A in this class. She's not a hard teacher and she doesn't check the work she assigns, atleast not for a grade. She clearly states that attendance is mandatory in the syllabus and gives people warnigns all through out the year. Her teaching style is to go over assigned work

First I have to say I am a fluent speaker, but this professor helped me to improve my spanish quite a bit and was very helpful to the class as a whole. Take her if you want to learn. attendence is mandatory.

She's very fun and a delight to listen to. She grades a bit stringently on her tests, but her grading is consistent. Great teaching style; she spend a lot of time on you if you don't know the answer to a question. Make sure you do all your labs.

Doctora Falzon is RAD! You have to actually go to class and do your work (gasp) but you learn the material. She goes around the class for answers so EVERYONE has to participate. So if you want to succeed just be on time do your work and give a little effort. And don't blame her for sticking to her late policy. Show some freaking accountability.

prof. Flazon was the best spanish teacher i have ever had. i took spanish twice in HS and never even understood it. prof.falzon really helps you out. yes, you have a lot of hw, and the test/quizes are hard, but if you just study, youll pass. and attendance is extremely important. i didnt do so well but i could have if i took the class more serious

DO YOUR HOMEWORK. If you have a problem with that, don't take her. If you have no prob with that, she is the best, funniest, most interesting, most helpful, most organized, most relaxed, most fair (in your favor) teacher I've had. It's terrifying if you don't do your homework, haha but whenever I did it I couldn't believe how great class was! Rec'd

Dra. Falzon is the best teacher. She wants you learn not only the language, but our culture as well. If you do the HW and go to the lab and tutor you will do fine. She is funny, understanding and very fair to all students.

SHE IS THE BEST. DO ALL YOUR HW AND ASK QUESTIONS, SHE WILL ALWAYS TAKE THE TIME TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND IT. SHE IS FUNNY AND FAIR GRADING.

I went in her class with no prior knowledge of spanish and i now know so much. as long as you do the homework and study for the quizzes (and go to lab), it'll be a breeze.

Come to class and come on time. She has a strict attendance policy. She doesn't really teach during the class. She spends the whole time going over the 20 pages of hw from the night before. You need to really know your spanish before taking her. She assumes you know it solid. There aren't many grades, so study for the tests!

Keep up with the HW. She teaches a college level SPA, not high school.Yes,there is a lot hw assigned but doing it is what will help you get through the tests. Her attendance is mandatory so if you miss a day and you havn't taken SPA before go to the lab that is required to catch up. She is a good teacher and wants everyone to learn proper SPA.

Okay, it's true that she is a an extremely strict professor. What do you expect it's college and not high school. She is there to teach and she hates to waste her time. So do the homework (there is a lot) ,study for the test (difficult tests), and show up for class ready to learn. She doesn't BS. So you are looking for an easy a not your class.

Dr. Falzon is probably the best teacher I have ever had. I am in my 3rd year at NOVA Dr. Falzon is not only a good teacher but a great person and student advisor. Extremely smart, direct and honest. We need more professors like her. She makes sure every student understands what is going on. Homework? Sure, this is college so there is homework.

Great teacher. Explains Spanish in a way that most people can understand. Incredibly helpful and friendly professor. Classes are easy, just do the minimal homework that is assigned. Tests are easy, but only if you study. Presentation project is also easy, and very flexible topic-wise. Only complaint is that the textbooks used are not great.

Ms. Falzon is a pretty good teacher, but can be pretty strict. You are definitely expected to participate in class at all times. I got an A from her, and I didn't really have to work all that hard. Do your labs, memorize stuffs, get an A. Gets sidetracked quite a few times, but it's usually interesting to hear her stories (rather than studying).

Exceptional. Clearly explains grammar and conjugation. She will make you work very hard. She prepares you for transfer to a 4 yr college. Very strict but very caring and will give you 110%. If you want the best this is where you want to be.

Awesome professor

She will make you work for your grade. You earn what you get with her, but she goes over and beyond to help you succeed. She definitely equips you for the workload and level of understanding you'll need at Uni. Mandatory attendance and lab. But, she's a great person who wants you to succeed. The lazy students will not like her, ALL OTHERS TAKE!

She cares about her students a lot & how well they do. If she sees that they are struggling she will offer help/advice. Attendance is mandatory, if you miss more than 3 classes she will start taking points. She gives extra points by going to the language center in the library. One of my favorite teachers. Don't let her seem intimidating she's nice.

fantastic and wonderful!!!!

Professor Falzon was a great teacher. She's a little tough only because she wants to make sure you know the material. Class participation is required she calls on everyone in the class at least once to practice something from the books, or for an answer from the assigned HW so make sure you have done the work. Over all I would recommend her.

Prof. Falzon is an old school type of teacher. She's hard on her students, but only because she knows that we're capable of doing well. She adapts her teaching style based on what her students need individually. If you can stick with her class, you'll end up prepared for 102.

I really enjoyed the presentation, where you can talk about anything you want in Spanish in front of the class. She assigns an hour in the language lab every week, but you can get free tutoring and have a conversation in Spanish which is great! Homework was reasonable, and overall class was good!

I had a great experience in both her 101 and 102 classes, granted I already knew a good deal of Spanish. She's very traditional and honest, but if you get on her good side you'll learn a lot. If you show enthusiasm and effort, she will recognize it in a positive way. You must do the HW to keep up, but she's intelligent and keeps class interesting.

Show up to class, do all the homework, and you'll be fine. She's tough but fair and she will go above and beyond to help you if you show you're willing to put in the work. Took her for 101 and 102 will hopefully will take 201 with her too. NVCC is lucky to have such competent instructors.

Clear expectations (read syllabus), have to show up and have your homework done, there's a test after each chapter. Although it seems a lot (homework, lab, tests, etc.) with a little bit of commitment you can learn a lot - no surprises at tests. Calling everybody one by one while checking homework a good opportunity to have your questions answered.

She cares about all her students and wants everyone to learn. If you actually care and try then you will do well. I will be taking her class next semester.

Ms. Falzon is definitely not for everyone. She can be a bit harsh and her homework is just the next day's class work. Best advice to you is to do the pre-work. There are several test sprinkled around. Attendance and the weekly lab make up 20% of your grade. You'll likely pass, just be ready to show a lot of effort.

Very tough. Take her if you actually want to learn spanish! Not an easy A. Very fast paced.

Prof. Falzon is difficult. She is a tough grader and assigns a ton of homework, but she really cares about her students. I had her for SPA 101-202 and I had my ups and downs, but she always encouraged me and helped me succeed to transfer out of NOVA. I really respect her and if she sees that you're trying, she will definitely respect you too.
