lots of activities. You'll come out speaking spanish. we love youuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i took this class and thought it was a breeze... getting A's and B's on everything... to find out I got a D!!! i'm still mad about this.. it was almost 3 yrs ago! she is a cool lady and very helpful.. but i dont think 3 absences should've had that affect
really nice, funny, makes class really fun, normaly offers beacon w/e.c. GREAT
Very nice and helpful. Attendence is VERY important. Every absence in my class (which met twice a week) was worth about 1.5% of my total grade. No unexcused absences. 4 lates = 1 absence. Do the math: 5 absences + 5 lates = lose 1 letter grade.
Started out as great prof., but seemed to do a complete 180 mid-way through the semester. Despite that, she is a good prof., and i would still recommend her class.
nevermind all this unrelated nonsense, shes hot. that whole accent thing..... rawr. other than that, shes still a good professor, nice, hot, fun, hot, makes class interesting, and shes hot on top of it.

she's the best but watch your absences. she won't hesitate to give you a bad grade. she has a great accent and loves to mime things out. Don't take conversational spanish, it blows! the book sucks.
She is a horrible teacher. She was good until her student performance review, after that her true colors showed.
Pretty good class. Some hard topics to study with conjugations and new tenses, but she did a generally good job of explaining them. I would recommend ehr class if your heart is in to learning.
I thought that Professora Ludovina was a very good teacher and took time with the "slower" students(this can be a good and a bad thing). I understood her a lot better than all three of my high school spanish teachers. She wants you to succeed. She does take off like 20 points for every unexcused absence...so watch it!
Fun class.
She is the coolest prof ever! She's hard and you have to work for your grade but you leave her class feeling like you've learned a ton. She makes it fun and helps everyone get to know each other. I had a great time in her class.
Very easy grader, but you have to try. Speak up in class, and be willing to make mistakes. Do homework and show up. Very nice, open to many topics. This class focused on speaking skills.
She is the best teacher I have ever seen. If you really want to speak Spanish, take her classes.Thank you profesora!!!!
Professor Ludovina is wonderful. HAVE FUN!
Very nice teacher. Do the work, you will get a good grade!
Strict, mostly pleasant although occasionally inflexible.
She is a Saint. Her class is FUN. Very nice, if you put out the work. She won’t mess with you if you don’t mess with her. Tests are from homework no guessing. Work hard get a good grade. Important - keep good attendance. Speak up in class. Remember Spanish 401 is 4 units. Foreign language but she makes it FUN! Like a MOM to me.
So not cool, not fun, outright lame.
Not a good teacher, she thinks she is something special.
Awesome teacher!! She is very patient and will go over things again if you need her to. HW every class so dont miss class otherwise you cant turn it in. I missed a big online assigment otherwise would have been an easy A. Drops lowest test score too. HIGHLY Recommended
This class is suppose to be a beggining class for students who have NEVERR learned ANY Spanish. She teaches the class as if we already have had previous expiernce in Spanish. Her teaching stlye is lame and she is very unorganized and all of the place. If you have NEVER taken Spanish before. DONT PICK HER.! You will be LOST.!
damn, she's the hottest teacher i've ever had!!!!!!!!
Her class is not easy. I did almost all the homework, took every quiz, did well on every test, and put out effort on the projects and still got a B. I'm not use to that! However, she is a great teacher with a lot of patience. And she is the best Spanish teacher I've had so far. Take her class, but do all the homework and take her quizes seriously.
She is an awsome teacher. I took her for both one and two. She is always there to help and used a lot of body language to help her students understand the vocabulary. Very sexy teacher...
Good looking , energetic
Worst teacher I've ever had. She's unfair, makes up rules about absences (excuses absences for students she likes, cant wait to drop you if she doesn;t like you). Plays favorites, and if she doesn't like you, she'll make you never want to come back to class. She refused to ever call on me, then gave me 85 on participation. Worst teacher I've had.
Professor Ludovina is very nice and easy going. I will definetely take her class again. Homework is easy. Have fun!
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER FOR STUDENTS WHO REALLY WANT TO LEARN SPANISH.I LOVED HER A LOT.VERY FUN CLASS.KNOWS HOW TO MAKE YOU SPEAK SPANISH.IF YOU PUT SOME EFFORS, YOU WILL GET AN A.(a lot of HW,but her final is easy multiple choice)
BEST Spanish teacher I have ever taken. Very clear helps when you need it clarifies everything she wants you to lern spanish and learn it well. TAKE HER!
All these people saying this class was an "easy" A are wrong.There is work to be done so u do need to apply yourself, but, if you do,it can be easy.I found La Profesora Ludovina to be very charming and often funny at times.And yes, she is definitely one HOT teacher. If u are reading this Profesora, this is the "bill collector". Front row.Thx again.
She's honestly the best teacher I've ever had. She's extremely helpful, she makes you love Spanish and to top it off, she's hot!! So dudes, if you wanna have fun, learn, and stare at eye candy, take her class!!!!
You need to be careful when taking this class. Her grading is biased. I was personally ok as far as that went, but she was weird with a bunch of other people in the class that worked really hard. There is no excuse for being tardy or absent in this class. 3 tardies is an absent, 3 absents and you're kicked out of the class. She wont cut you slack
It was extremely difficult to get an A in this course. Unless you speak the language fluently or don't care much about your grade, then this class might be okay.
I am an A student and I did recieve an A in her class as well, but I would not recommend taking hybrid for 401 because you won't learn anything since you'll only be meeting once a week.
She's alright, but I think you can find a better professor to take Espanol with.
Dont recommend taking her Friday hybrid class ? she missed classes, was not helpful, and offered no study guides.Uses no body language to aid in learning--just expects you to know everything. Played favorites, and made no attempt with other students. Take Monica Garcia, she is excellent and cares about students success.
Good teacher. Not a lot of work. She encourages everyone to participate. Sometimes she wouldn't reply to emails.
Really nice teacher. It was easy, but I had taken Spanish through high school so that might be why. A lot of class participation required, which gets annoying if you already have the stuff down.
What do you call a prof whom takes upwards of a week to grade anything, doesn't always respond to emails, shows up late, but has zero leniency on late assignments/attendance? A hypocrite. Seems like she has more than she can handle. Take someone else if you want a professor whom sees you as a student, not an ID number. Espec. those 401 students!
Her class is fun. She is one of the best professors I've had. Gracias profesora!!
the entire class is almost all online or in the book. There are tests you take in class, but most class time is just review of last nights online lessons. definitely not a bad class, its a good choice.
The class is very helpful. The class is entirely in Spanish, so you get lots of practice. I really liked her.
Profesora Ludovina is a very good profesora! If you really want to learn to speak and understand Spanish, her class is perfect! She is also very enthusiastic. I highly recommend her!
Awesome! She is a great teacher. Love this class. Made the 2 hour class go by very fast..unlike other classes. She is fun and nice, and loves what she does. Most def recommend her!
One of the worst teachers to try to understand. And I hate teachers that are always late, its rude to the students.
Profesora Ludovina es exilente! Really she commands participation and attendance. You can not work her, however she is very clear and direct. If one wants to learn Spanish you will enjoy learning with Profesora Ludovina.
profesora Ludovina is awesome! she uses different techniques to keep you engaged and participating. I always looked forward going to her class
Profesora Ludovina was pretty rude and her class was very hard for me. She expects you to know things before she teaches them. Homework was easy because it was all online and wasn't due right away. If you're shy like me, the class won't be much fun for you. If you're outgoing, you might have more fun... I did somehow get a B in her class, though.
If you want to learn Spanish, take professor Ludovina. She expects you to work and participate. She is a great teacher. Take her. She is the best. Besides she's HOT
Her class is very active and as long as you do the assignments you will do fine. Don't miss class cuz you'll miss a lot of material
Take Ludovina. Her class is fun and you'll learn lots of espanol
This class is very different than other Spanish classes. It is very active and engaging. You actually speak Spanish since day one!You'll like this class!
Mrs. Ludovina is great. She is an excellent teacher, very well organized . There is a lot of participation with classmates during the class, but it is a fun class.She is straightforward . I would recommend this class to everyone
When I started mrs ludovinas class I could not say much in Spanish but by the end of the semester I was more confident and able to actualy communicate! I love her she's so hot! Want to marry her!!
Mrs Ludoviná's class is fun and I learned a lot!! She's very nice and helpful besides she's super hot!! I'm taking her next semester.
I am in the hybrid class. I look forward to attending every Friday. She has a different approach and it is very engaging. I love this class and would recommend it to anyone.
She is very pretty. At first you think good teacher, approachable. She is not!! If you are having a problem understanding, don't go to her, she could careless. Homework is confusing because it's on things that you haven't learned yet. Make sure to remember the accent marks on your spelling or she will take you from an A to a D in a hot second.
I've learned so much in this class. I've taken other professors and she's very clear and easy going. She makes Soanish fun and easy. I love her class
This class is fun. You get to practice a lot in class. You do have to study before coming to class and then she explains in class what we had to study . We work in pairs a lot which makes it fun. if you want to learn Spanish, take her class!! Besides she's eye candy!!
Amazing teacher!! Not hard at all if you pay attention and show up. Willing to help. She is very understanding. Beautiful as well.
This is one of the best classes I've taken. The professora is great and soo hot! I'll miss her next semester.
class is very good. The profesora is easy going. Her test are easy just do the homework. lots of practice in class.
Very good teacher. She is native Spanish speaker so she knows how to use the language better. This is fun and group working class. You just have to participate in class and do the online activites.
I liked that the class was half in a classroom and half online. Do the homework and make flash cards for each chapter, it will make your life so much easier! Great teacher for students that don't know any Spanish before taking the class.
Very good professor. Fun class. She teaches very well and you will definitely learn Spanish. The only thing I didn't like was that she made you learn some of the material on your own before coming to class. Other than that it was a great class. Take her and you will do well.
Very easy class, nice teacher, and hot!
Loved this class! Lots of practice in class. I actually learned a lot. She is super nice and beautiful. Take her guys!
I have always liked Spanish and I have taken some classes before. Mrs. Ludovina is the best professor by far!! We practice a lot and is fun
does a good job of test preperation. very funny
Do the tutorials in each chapter and come to class because the exercises in class are the key to learning and remembering the language. Professor Ludovina is an extremely good teacher. Fair, and she's got jokes.
Very nice and helpful. As long as you attend class regularly, there's no reason you should not get an A. There's a lot of practice in class to prepare you for the tests, which are easy. I'm taking her for 402 as well... Oh yeah. And she's smoking hot!
Didn't like her class at all. It was hard. First time taking spanish didn't think it would be this bad. Thought it was "elementary spanish" if you're gonna take her class you better know some Spanish already.
I enjoyed taking Professor Ludovina’s class. She is a very good professor who keeps her class interesting. She expects adult behavior. I would recommend her.
If you have previous experience in speaking Spanish then Ludovina will be a good teacher for you, but if you have no prior knowledge of the language then steer clear of her. She is clearly apathetic to the needs of those students, which is unfortunate since Span 401 is supposed to be an introductory class to learning Spanish.
She is a sweet heart. I liked her a lot. The only problem is that you have to do your homework before we discuss it which makes it tough if you dont know it. Its hard not to get an A on the homework because you have 5 attempts. You just have to study outside of class if you want to understand whats going on. A beacon tutor is offered. Overall easy!
Class is pretty easy...IF YOU STUDY. She explains things clearly and tests aren't too bad. I WOULD SAY DEFINITELY TAKE UP HER BEACON OFFER! Rebecca is a great tutor and helped make the class an easy A. Book and material is a major requirement. You will need to study and memorize vocab but the class should be easy if you do.
Professor Ludovina teaches very well I believe for a beginner Spanish class. However if you have prior Spanish experience and are just rusty, you may find it boring. She sticks pretty much to the book. I prefer instructors that bring in current events and vocabulary not in the book. After all, language is a living, evolving thing.
Ludovina is FANTASTIC! She is by the book, on topic and very fun. The only problem I had with her class was the choice of textbook in conjunction with it being a hybrid class and that class was only once a week. It's very fast paced, but doable to get a good grade. No slackers! I highly recommend Ludovina, she makes learning fun!
Great teacher! Second languages are challenging, but she explains everything well, keeps things fun, and provides help to anyone who needs it. As in any language course, attendance and class participation are very important.
Awesome professor. You'll learn a lot, get your eye candy and have fun. By far one of the best instructors I've ever had. She is super attractive and smart. She expects you to do your part to learn but she makes it easy. Luv her
Had a 4.0 b4 this class. I was in the hospital at the end of the semester and missed a couple weeks. When I got back and tried to make up the work I had concerns because she said I could make up the work but the website wasn't recording my scores. I emailed multiple times and she usually didn't respond, and if she did it took a while. I ended up with a C even though I had an A on all tests. Unfortunately all of the missed homework and a couple quizzes. Ruined my Gpa with an elective. :(
Great instructor. Native speaker and fun. Her classes are fast paced and she expects a lot of participation. You get a lot of practice!
Ludovina is a nice fun teacher. Although if you have no experience with Spanish, you may have trouble because she goes quite fast. I was bored cause I took 4 years in high school. But at the same time, I learned some things I never knew before. So it's not big deal if you have prior experience.
I took her hybrid class and it was difficult. I was sick the first class and fell behind quickly even though I studied. As long as you attend all the class and make sure to do all the homework you should be fine. If you start falling behind though beware you'll have a very hard time catching back up.
I loved her! Great, engaging professor. Her class is face-paced, but that's what I enjoyed about it most. You definitely need the book. I took the hybrid class. You need to keep up on your homework and participate in class. An A is definitely obtainable.
Loved her! Very knowledgable I would take her again! Definitely have to study for the exams although she drops the lowest score.. Do all the homework and show up for class.. Participate... And you will do fine! It's an easy class if you study and are interested in learning Spanish!
I was ecstatic to take this professor because all of the good I have heard of her from students. I have never dropped or withdrawn from a college class in my three years at ARC, but this professor had a very unapproachable attitude when it came to making up tests which made my success in the class non-existent. She isn't all that great of a prof.
This is not an easy course, but it's good. She really makes you work and think. I HAD to take Spanish and I'm super anxious about foreign language and she was really supportive.
Although I have not taken Spanish since high school, having taken one Spanish class in high school a couple of years ago helped me succeed in the class. It's a really easy class if you took at least one Spanish class in high school. If not, then you'll need to study. I never studied and got an A+
She 's very likable and creates a pretty relaxed environment. For some reason she will drop you if you don't bring the book the first week, even though the "V-text" comes with the passcode that you have to get for the homework (and the class I took was in a computer lab!) I would take her class again though, she's a sweetheart.
she is hard to work with, very irritable. Her teaching is up to par but she is very moody and edgy. Would recommend a different professor if possible.
Class was fun, she made it very easy to understand the correct usage and conjugation of Spanish words. Homework is all online, participation counts towards grade, 1 quiz and 1 test per chapter. 1 written final, 1 oral final, and one skit. Not hard if you study, no prior Spanish knowledge required.
One of the best teachers I've taken at ARC. If you do your work and participate in class you will pass. She's friendly and cares about her students :)
Ludovina is an awesome professor! I would definitely recommend her. She is always willing to help and repeat things if necessary, which is important when you're learning a new language. I took the hybrid class, so a lot of online homework, but that is to be expected. DO NOT take hybrid if you have 0 background in Spanish!
She is very helpful, wants you to learn, works with you and her lectures are interesting. Class participation and partner work is the core of this class since it does involve practicing speaking another language. The tests are hard so you must read your text and practice! Take this class with SPAN131 lang lab, it helps a LOT & it's extra credit!
Great professor. Classes are organized and enjoyable. Come to learn and she will help you do that. She respects her students and expects the same in return.
I was in the Spanish hybrid course. I wasn't a fan of her personally. No really good reason. Just made you work with a new person each class. I'm not a social butterfly, so I didn't like it.
She is a great instructor and gives clear lessons. She did have us partner with new people each class; as an introvert it was a little uncomfortable.
Profesora Ceydy is a superb instructor. She's very kind, willing to help, and really makes learning Spanish fun and interesting. Her great attitude is really helpful in helping me learn. She's definitely recommended.
I Love Professor Ceydy she's such a sweet and caring person 10/10 would recommend... also she's easy on the eyes (muy caliente)
She is a good, but her teaching does not match the big spanish book, it is very confusing and cannot give good clear feedback. I did not like it at all, very tough greater, I would not recommend to her because everything is confusing.
She's very passionate for what she does, she will help you improve your spanish vocabulary. She will make you participate if you don't volunteer to participate, a lot of fun games in groups, homework is online if you do it after the due date there is still some 50 percent. She makes some jokes and make ppl laugh. It matters exams a lot of points.
Dont use this teacher. She is not human. Yelling to students
