I took her summer 02, Great instructor. Fun, makes you speak Spanish. Hard. You have to study a lot!!

She was such a great teacher! Very inspiring. She made class really fun & explained things very clearly. Her class is conducted all in Spanish, which makes it a little more challenging, but worth it, because you learn so much!

Very sweet; only problem is I would like more explanations in terms of English rather than picking it up totally by emersion.

The best!! Very passionate instructor. I loved her class. It made me love Spanish. I can actually speak with my girlfriend's family now.If you are lazy and do not prepare fof yuor classes. do not take her.

Best teacher I've ever had! Classes are fun but challenging. Anyone can learn the language with a teacher like her. Her text book is great too.

This class was very hard for me due to the fact that I had never written in spanish. And had no clue about the alphabet or about the grammer. In a way it was good for me that it was hard because I have the confidence to write in spanish now.

An excellent teacher! I was so fortunate to have taken this class under her. I didn't think learning a foreign language was so much fun. Her book's superb, too. I'll definetly use her textbook for Span 130 for independent learning.

Excellent teacher. I took two of her classes. She gave me the tools to take more advanced classes. Be ready for a lot of homeworks. Never come to class unprepared. If you want to have good foundations in Spanish, take her class. Highly recommended.

Mrs. Alonso is a wonderful teacher, I like everything about her, I'm looking forward to have another class with her, that is Span 216. I like the way she teaches, always in a sheerful mood.

really good teacher, i wouldnt say shes hard, any spanish class is a challage- she is extremely helpful. a bit moody sometimes but hey, arent we all! see ya in the fall

Just wonderful! I am an older student who truly appreciates her innovative approach to teaching, her passion for the subject matter and her personality. Always greeted us with a big smile. She has no patience for inmature or rude students, THANK YOU!!

I had her last semester- she is mor organized, intergetic, and fun. Has creative ways of teaching new material. Excellent teacher.

extremely cheerful and energetic. dont miss any hw or be late. very helpful. i learned a lot in the class.

Mrs. Alonso is a very inovative teacher and was just named Southwestern's Professor of the Year. She deserves it! Thank you for a g reat class.

It's hard to find teachers these dayz who truly care about their students. MS. A is the best teacher i have ever had. Study the matieral and you'll definently get an a. Good luck and enjoy, im gonna miss her.

I agree, wonderful teacher. She was just named swc's number one teacher, have fun!

she is the best teacher you can ever have, she is hard, but you will learn for sure and have fun at the same time.

As long as you do the homework and your vocab def. you will do fine. For the test she gives you an outline on whats on it. She also gives a bunch of extra credit and all you have to do is watch movies and write one page on them.

She's funny and can get your attention for the class time. its not boring, she's organized and you don't dedicated a lot of time for the homework 30 minutes max. and you actually learn good grammer. Good luck and don't get there late (she hates that).

La profe rocks! Hard but fun. I learned so much. She is such a good teacher. I took two semesters with her. Do your personal dictionary and do not miss class!!

perfect!!!!

i had her class a couple of semesters ago. it was really fun. we did lots of group activities which helps you practice your spanish. you do have to study but it's not time consuming. it doesn't take long to understand. just go to class everyday and the the hw. i did good in most of my work and she let me the final.

I think she is a great professor but she dose give homwork on a daily basis. If your interested in taking spanish this is the professor you want

it very easy class just do ur homework and classwork u get easy grade... i even did homework during class and finish it on time

Excellent profesor! I wish she tought some more spanish classes because i'd definately come back for more!

Amazing! She loves her job and she is very good at it. You must be prepared to do homework EVERY night and attend every class and participate. She makes class fun with lots of games and fun assignments. She is silly but very serious about teaching. I hope she decides to teach advanced classes in later semesters. She is brilliant.

I took her like 4 years ago, and she is BY FAR the best teacher I've ever had. She is so so so much fun - you'll have a blast in class and learn a lot. You'll end up loving Spanish, even if you thought you never would. She is THAT GOOD!

As someone else said, she is a very good teacher for spanish speaking students, but terrible towards non spanish speaking students (the majority of her class). She is very bias towards students and has "favorites." Especially when it comes to handing out class participation points, which is a good portion of the grade. The wastes class time with ta

I did not take 120 with her and got lots of participation. Great teacher, you will learn so much! Yes, you have to work hard and do homeowrk every day. Class is fun and she makes you speak in Spanish. gracias profe!

The course is difficult and requires hours or study. We had a huge class and most have dropped due to the level of difficulty, attendance issues, and maturity issues. This professor is hard, but she is fair in grading. I give her high marks in integrity, and medium/low marks for describing homework and exam preps in Spanish. Clarity is a must!

Shame on all those who have said anything bad about this teacher.She was one of the best teachers I ever had. All you have to do is show up to class like your suppose to and study like your suppose to and you will get an A!

She is phenomenal. I got an A because I work hard, but also because she explains everything with details that make the class easy to understand. I even didn't take the final exam due to my grades.

She a fun teacher! very dedicated to her students

Great teacher! She assigns a lot of homework but it is very necessary when learning a new language. She is very helpful and understanding. She also gives you a lot of extra credit chances. This teacher is very fun and outgoing. But she definitely does not put up with unfocused students. I highly recommend Mrs. Alonso. :)

I had this professor for 2 diff.classes.. not easy classes,but you can't expect to learn anything good if its all easy. If you're a good student she will do whatever is in her power to help you.If you are lazy and want an easy A then dont bother.Learning the book material is verry important don't just finish it to get credit,STUDY FROM IT!

she is a great instructor. She is fun and interesting. I loved the class. She made me work really hard for my A-. I feel I speak so much better because of her. WOW, she has been through most of Latin America and she makes language and culture become real!!!

She is the best! She smiles a lot :). She always helps you if you have trouble. I was never afraid to ask her questions or speak with her after class because of that. If I was not transferring, I would take her for 102. I never missed class because it was fun and she was always nice to us. I had a 99% in the class. Take her! You will learn a lot!

Wonderful instructor. She prepares her classes carefully designed to be fun, engaging and interesting. You must do your work and not miss class. She does not put up with lazy students! I loved her class.

i liked the class a lot! Hard but she makes class fun with many activities and songs and games.

Really good but hard. She gives extra credit and 2 field trips . Those are fun. Lectures are excellent and entertaining.

Her lectures are really fun and understandable as long as you pay attention and have a solid understanding of basic Spanish. She will call on you for answers to her practice questions, so be ready to speak in front of the class and earn extra credit for it. Her tests are not very difficult as long as you do the HW and pay attention in class.

She was my Spanish teacher in the early 90's at Citrus College, Glendora. She was great! You get as much out as you put in.

Professor Alonso makes the class interesting and facilitates learning with a variety of activities. She is enthusiastic and encouraging and always willing to help you over the hard parts.
