I had to miss class several times and this was an intense course but the professor worked with me so I could make up the assignments even if not all of them were for full credit. She really helped me out and I was able to pass. I also like that she reviews a lot and gives PowerPoint presentations. I wish she could teach full time.
Im taking a summer class. Its a lot of work (5wks). The profesora does help a lot. Must do Vistas work to practice. Its worth 20% of your grade. La profesora cares that you learn and pass. Lots of practice in class. I highly recommend her. She shares powerpoints.
Taking a summer class. I like that we have power points to study and that we practice in class. The grading criteria is clear and the professor is very helpful. She gives good feedback and advice on how to study better. Sometime we get extra points for exams and quizzes. I will take this professor again for summer 2 for Spanish 2.
I really want to learn Spanish and I should have taken the long semester because it's a lot but this professor is helpful and practices with us a lot. We get all sorts of helpful handouts that we can use to study and Power Point presentations, etc. I am learning and I want to take this professor again but will probably wait for the regular semester
Lots of work in this class but then again this is a summer class. All the presentations and info. the professor gives helps a lot. There were extra pts for the 1st 2 exams and that was great because it gave us a boost. We do practice in class and do speaking exercises sometimes. I like this professor and hope to take all the other levels with her.
This professor is a great. She gives us a lot of help. I agree with the others that its a lot of work in the summer but its to be expected for a 5 week course. I recommend this professor and would take her again. She is passionate and knowledgeable about her subject.
I like this professor. She really does care and is very helpful. There are two presentations and 3 writing assignments but she gives examples and her instructions are very detailed. We practice in class a lot, which helps. I feel that I can write a little better in Spanish now. I took Spanish in high school so need to brush up.
There were times in which I felt like giving up because it is hard to have a full time job and go to school but the professor has inspired me to go on. She is always available if you need help. I highly recommend her. If you need help, all you have to do is ask.
I like this professor. She is very helpful. Make sure you do all of your vista's online assignments, they help and are worth a big chuck of your grade. I also like the powerpoints and other helpful handouts given by the professor. I highly recommend her.
I enjoyed this class. The professor is very helpful as others have mentioned and I would take her again. If you do all of your work and attend to class regularly, you should be fine. She explains in different ways if you don't understand so I found this class easy.
If you go to class and do your work, you will get an A. It is an easy class and the professor is caring and helpful which is hard to find in a professor. I recommend her.
I found this class easy. Sure, you have to do your part, but I enjoyed it and brushed up on the Spanish I had learned in high school. Head up, this professor is strict when it comes to deadlines. You can turn in stuff beforehand but not late. She won't take your work late, unless you have some documentation. She gives extra point opportunities.
There are extra points, not so much extra credit but I liked the class and it was easy. I do recommend the professor and will probably take her again in a 16 week course. I took her this summer and it was a lot of work because its only 5 weeks. Overall, I really like this professor and she is a good teacher.
I like that this professor is willing to work with you if you have issues come up as long as you talk to her. Whether it is of personal matters or you just don't understand something, she is there to help out. I found the class easy and she walks you through by giving plenty of examples and practice. I recommend her.
It was easy. If you do all your big projects and do the online work, you should be able to get an A. I like that the professor gives a lot of help and take the time to explain things again if you don't get it at first. She reviews a lot and that helped me. I will take her again for Spanish 2 and hopefully for the other levels as well.
I appreciate all the help this professor has given me and everyone. She explains in a way that you are able to understand and she provides lots of practice opportunities by yourself or in a group. I wish I could take all 4 courses with he but she is an adjunct so that may not be possible. :(
I like the way this professor teaches. Its not just lecture, she gives plenty of examples and doing the online assignments also helps. She is always willing to help if you dont understand something. I want to take her class for the next levels but during the reg. semester.
I found the class easy. The professor is strict on deadlines but very helpful. I would take her again.
I like this professor. She is helpful and cares that you actually learn. I appreciated the powerpoints and helpful handouts with acronyms, etc. I will take her again for the next levels.
I am taking this class because I really want to learn the language and I am glad I chose this professor. You really do learn with her. She goes over the material fast because it is summer but she repeats it and reviews with you. I do feel I learned a lot. I do recommend her.
I definitely like the professor and how she teaches. She presents the information in a very organized way and is very detailed in the way she explains how to do the writing assignments, etc. She is also very helpful in and outside of class, which I truly appreciate. I highly recommend her.
I enjoyed this class and will definitely look forward to taking more classes with this professor. The way in which she presents the information is clear and easy to understand. I just don't want to take another summer class right now because it was a lot of work but she was really helpful.
The professor is really good at explaining and makes sure you understand the information. There are some opportunities for extra points, not so much extra credit but it is still good. Also, if you have any questions, the professor helps you outside of class hours. She is always in the lab. I which she was a full time professor.
I like this professor. She is very nice and helpful. I am glad I took her class. I will be taking her Spanish 2 class again for Summer session II. I like the way she explains things and the many examples she provides. I do recommend her class.
Profesora Herrera is great! I really enjoyed her class. She was always willing to help out and reviewed often. I appreciate all of her help. I wish she were teaching 2311 so I could take her class again.
Really nice and helpful. Always giving extra credit opportunities to help boost your grade. Always there to help when you need it and does a really good job of explaining what you dont understand. I wish all my teachers were like her for sure.
One quiz per week but the lowest two are dropped. Tests are fairly easy because she reviews beforehand and lets you know what exactly will be on it. There are many opportunities for extra credit. Easygoing and very friendly professor overall, I'm glad i chose her this semester.
I love the way she teachs. She focuses on what is gonna be in the test, she has Spanish songs and movies, so you will feel you love the culture.
Great class! Would take again
In my perspective i really enjoyed her class. She is really nice and comprehensive, she gives a lot of extra credit so take advantage of it. As long as you do your homework and study you should be fine. Easy A if you put your part in this class.
Professor Herrera is very nice and caring and makes class interesting. You will have a quiz every week but are very easy. Reviews before text. Textbook is required and will be used a lot. Must do Vistas or will have a hard time passing the class. Other than that class is fun and would take professor again.
She's a great teacher. If you slack off and don't study or do your homework you won't pass.
Mrs. Herrera is a great teacher who is always more than likely available throughout the day to answer the questions or review over anything! She provides great lectures and actually uses the textbook efficiently!
Professor Herrera is very helpful as long as you ask for it. Very nice, would take her again!
Great lecture, flexible on homework, test reviews for each chapter
Really sweet professor, helps you do good in her class! Would take again.
Definitely a good choice for anyone who needs to take a Spanish class. Not too hard, not too easy.
Great professor.
expects you to try and rewards you for doing so
She is a very thorough professor and does her best to explain a difficult course.
Loved the class because she really cared about you passing and stopped to help whenever need be. Also the reviews and tests were basically the same unless told otherwise.
Best professor I've had in a long time!
Really nice, sweet, and respectful women. She teaches you what you need to know, just show up and you'll do great.
She's a pretty cool professor she gives 4 quizzes (and she drops your lowest quiz) which are in class. And you use a program called Vistas do all your homework. And they weigh alot on your grade and you have 5 exams and two presentations to give, and she gives alot of extra credit.
She is an amazing professor! Class isnt mandatory but if you dont show up you miss possible extra credit points. Very caring and tries her best to make sure you understand the material. Definitely recommend her!
I learned a lot
Amazing teacher!!!
Loved Ms. Hererra, she gives plenty of extra credit for tests. She also gives participation grades, so go to the lab and get an easy grade. Definitely, need to attend class so you know how to do things but overall an awesome teacher!!
Profesora Herrera is hands down the best professor Ive had in my entire college career. She makes class fun and you can tell she truly has passion rooted in what she does. Lots of extra credit and the test/quizzes are straightforward, so if you put forth your side of the effort theres no excuse to fail. Highly, highly recommend this professor.
Ms Herrera made SPAN1411 a pleasant and easygoing experience. The textbook is no bargain, but it was more than adequately used. There are online homework assignments due every few weeks. Reviews are given for all exams and quizzes, and extra credit is given more than frequently. Above all, she is incredibly kind. I would highly recommend!
Professor Herrera is so amazing!!! She is very helpful and very flexible with her time. She wants you to understand the material and is willing to help. She gives extra credit. Class is not that hard. She has the reviews for the big exam online and does a small review before the quizzes in class.
Prof. Herrera is awesome! She ensures all students grasp the lecture content before moving to the next section and quiz/exam content. There is no intimidation during class participation if a wrong response is given. I would definitely recommend her and/or take her again if I decide to continue my studies.
Awesome profesora. Really enjoyed her class.
Profe Hererra is one of the best professors I have ever had! She genuinely wants you to succeed, and will work with you as long as you work with her. She gives an almost stupid amount of extra credit, so if you don't pass with an A you weren't trying. She does give participation grades, so make sure you show up.
Wonderful professor
Professor will answer questions in class with examples and walk you through the example. She definitely made learning Spanish easier for me.

Lenient on grading. Works with you. Coursework is not too difficult but fast paced(during the summer). She does a great job teaching the content and making sure everything expected of you is clearly stated
lots of help
good teacher, class is not hard at all especially if you know some Spanish
In this class, you have to do a lot of homework and online assignments. They do take up a bit of time but they help you learn and retain the information. With effort, you can easily make an A in the class. If you do not show up for class or do not do the online assignments then you will not get a good grade. BTW she does give a good amount of EC!!!
Profesora Herrera is a great teacher! She makes sure you know the material and prepared for all assignments. She gives you all the tools you need to pass. But it's on you to do the work. Put forth the effort and you will make an A. Adios
would definitely take this class again. fast paced but expected in a summer course but also not a bad thing because this helps you learn the language quickly so you can get a decent grade. very repetitive lessons which also helps you learn the material. the professor always sure everyone understands the lesson and welcomes questions.
If you want an A, you must participate and attend the class every time! The syllabus provides an organized course calendar, which helped me plan out the assignments tremendously. The online assignments provided with the textbook may be excessive, but they are 25% of your overall grade so don't wait until last minute to do them!
Great teacher! I have tried to take spanish 2 times before and each time it wouldn't stick. She presents everything in an easy to understand way.
She goes off and reads her powerpoints she posts online. It is easy. Just pay attention and study the vocab.
Awesome classes
Super easy!
Took as a summer class so attendance is pretty much mandatory or you won't pass! Lots of homework for a summer class but as long as you get it done you correctly you should pass.
A very well organized, and helpful teacher.
Great Teacher
Mrs. Hererra was great! She was very understanding and always knew the answer to your question. I would definitely take her again. She is the best.
Awesome professor. Always willing to help. Come to class, do your homework, study and you won't fail.
She is a really good teacher! You will learn for sure!!!
good class
Boring but makes you learn
Great teacher, her method just wasn't the best approach for me to learn. I struggled when words were being introduced for the first time without prior being introduced to and practiced on, but sometimes still showed up on assignments that are graded.
Communicates material very well and make the class easy to do well in if you put in the effort.
Great teacher just expect tons of homework.
Great Teacher before taking her class I failed span1 twice
Class was alot of fun!
Great teacher.
Great professor, I highly recommend! Very thankful to have her my senior semester.
she's really nice , understandable and helpful . Her class is really easy , if you fail her class that mean you weren't coming to class but other than that i recommend , you wont regret it.
She makes her slides for the lectures available on blackboard. As long as you read the material and stay active in class you will be fine. There are chances to even get extra points.
If you come to class and pay attention then it would be easy to pass.
She is the best teacher i have had at this school! I have learned so much in this class because her teaching style is so great. The homework is alot but she gives you enough time to do it. Show up to class and you will learn. She will answer any questions also.
Great teacher. Takes her time making sure all students understand and doesn't over load you with homework or assignments. Exams are easy aslong as you follow the reviews.
Great teacher. Takes her time making sure all students understand and doesn't over load you with homework or assignments. Would take again
Awesome professor. I really enjoyed this class. She is very respectable and has a lot of experience for the lecture. Come to class, do your homework and you will get an A.
She is willing to give extra credits. Though, you should ask her, otherwise she might not give the extra points. She does not take late work, unless there is a good reason. If you try your hardest, for sure you can pass her class.
She is an awesome teacher! super helpful and goes at a slow pace.
Super easy class if you pay attention and show up! Do not skip class or you will fail. She answers any questions you have and responds to emails quickly.
Test are hard if you do not study! Do the homework and you will pass the quizzes and test. Fun class to take and learned alot.
Overall easy class to take if you show up and do the homework.
She won't take late work. She gives extra credits from time to time. There will be alot of homework for the online section. There will be one speech that you have to memorize or you can read from a note but you can only get a B on that speech.
Awesome professor and she helps out when you ask! Do not take if you are expecting a easy A. Do the homework and show up to class you will learn alot.
There will be 2 speeches. The first one, you have to memorize it. The second one is a group speech. She may deduct points if you were to read from the note the whole time. She gives extra credits. There is a quiz every week, every two quizzes then there will be a leccion test. There are 5 leccions in Spanish 1.
Best Spanish teacher Ive ever had!
She is really nice and willing to help you. If you try your best you will pass her class. Make sure you do the work. She gives extra credits but she won't accept late work unless there is a good excuse.
Really nice professor and she always gives you a chance to get extra credit.
There are alot of work for the online section. You must turn it in on time. She doesn't accept late work. 2 speeches you have to do. The first one you have to memorize it. She is a nice teacher and willing to listen to your situation. You can pass her class if you try your best.
Amazing teacher, one of my favorite classes I've taken.
I really enjoyed this class. I did not know what to expect at first. My face lit up when I saw her walk into the room. She is a great teach and very helpful.
She cares about her students and is very patient.
Great professor, she knows her stuff. Would recommend anyone especially if you are not fluent. She's a great help.
I took Professor Herrera for SPAN 2312 as a Winter class. I felt like I learned the material so much better then in previous Spanish courses with other professors even though it only lasted a couple weeks. She is engaging and helpful.
I would take her again, shes a great instructor!! I definitely recommend taking her!
Took her for the Wintermester and she is great! The wintermester class grades are composed of mainly movie reviews, presentations and tests. She goes over on what will be on each test. Presentations are simple and fast and not at all hard. I enjoyed taking her. Really recommend!!
Though attendance was not "mandatory", you do get graded on participation during class. So, it pays to be in class and participating. She also gives good feedback on presentations and written assignments. I thoroughly enjoyed this class and learned a lot in the process. If you put in the effort, you'll do fine.
The wintermester class had long and few class meets, but the professor helped time pass with movies and film reviews at the end of class.
The class is mostly presentations and tests. There are several one page essays, and the essays are based off of movies. Neither the essays nor the presentations are unusually hard. The tests are difficult but you can make up for them on the projects.
Great class. Good refresher if it's been a long time since you've had Spanish classes. You'll have to study, but class is fun and relaxed.

Mrs Herrera's class was not hard at all. As long as you do your work you should be fine. I took an 8 week online class and I did not feel over whelmed at all. I made a high B only because i didn't do the Supersites in there entirety, but that was because i over loaded my schedule with enrolling myself full-time in another school. I recommend her!!
The majority of this class is through a huge amount of assignments in Vistas. The professor doesn't touch much outside of that. Also, tests require Proctorio which I think is an invasive software. Not a fan of this course.
I enjoyed taking her class. Majority of the course is on Visitas which I did not mind. You are given unlimited attempts on majority of the activities. Some assignments are on Canvas, but she will let you know and she also sends reminders weekly. She gives you plenty of time to finish each chapter that is due.
I highly recommend this class as there are plenty of extra credit opportunities. All of the assignments were extremely easy, the only things to watch out for are the proctored midterm and final exam. But there is enough extra credit that anyone could easily get an A.
This has been the most easily course I've ever taken! The assignments were hosted on VHL Central for me, and they turned out to be straightforward and uncomplicated. None of the assignments were posted on Canvas; there were only a few discussions and the final exam. All in all, this course practically guarantees an effortless A grade!
