Mrs. Lopez is the best Spanish teacher! She is extremely helpful and goes out of her way to make sure you do well! I would recommend her to ANYONE!
Mrs. Lopez is amazing! She's so nice and she really cares about her students. Lots of in class practice where she walks around and helps you. Uses connect and slideshow presentations which you can access from your canvas account. She's funny and really relatable. I was so excited when she said she was teaching 202 next semester.
Very nice and really cares about students. She always is ready to answer questions to the best of her ability. I was in her first Spanish 2 class at Cuesta, so she can only get better :)
Just show up to class every day cuz that's where you learn what you really need. Homework is kinda heavy not because she assigns a lot but because the assignment is on a website called MHE Connect( You DON'T Need to Buy the Textbook) the Textbook is on this website as well, the assignments give new questions till you pass. Which is time consuming.
Edith is an amazing instructor who truly cares about her students and their understanding of the lectures. Do not skip class unless you want your grade to drop. She really cares about her students and is a great professor for someone who is just starting their teaching career.
She was super helpful when it came to learning a new language. She made sure to incorporate fun activities into class so that we understood the info. I didn't like the online homework but it was manageable.
She is prompt, energetic, humble and has clearly used Spanish fluently for many years. She alternates between lecture and various activities which keeps class fun and reinforces the material. My only complaint was the McGraw-Hill online homework, but that is a department problem since every Spanish class at Cuesta assigns it. Amazing class overall!
Even being thrown into at the last second she was very organized, efficient, and taught very well. Would recommend.
Easy going class. Shes really clear and makes sure you understand the material! Always answers questions or finds a way to re-explain to make something clearer! Has in class group activities to help you understand the material. Do the Homework and you'll get a good grade! Everything she covers is on the test! Would definitely recommend this class!
This was my favorite class! Profesora Lopez is very nice and passionate about the subject. This was my first time taking Spanish and I really enjoyed the lectures and in class group activities. She does leave a lot of homework and in class participation is a must. Do the work and you should be fine!
She's a great teacher, however, she has a tendency to have very unrealistic ideas of how quickly you should be able to do the work at home. Also, it can be difficult at times with the homework as it typically contains stuff that she hasn't even taught as she expects you to go teach it to yourself with the textbook.
Great Professor
Profesora Lopez is a wonderful teacher, and I learned so much from her! I would definitely recommend taking her class.
Professor Edith Lopez has made learning Spanish easy and fun. Ms. Lopez has a very great teaching style and I always noticed that she does her best to make sure that her students like myself, understand the lectures of the class. I highly recommend to take this class with Ms. Lopez, she is one of the best teachers that I have ever had.
Edith Lopez was an amazing teacher! Although she is a new teacher, she is super understanding and doesnt have unrealistic expectations. She is very educated and teaches Spanish in an easy way to understand. The online switch this semester made this class especially difficult but she always offered extra help and great resources on canvas.
Lopez was a great professor! If you ever start to struggle, you can always get extra time with her and she's happy to help. She is a new professor, but one of the best I've taken. She really connects with the students and cares about them learning and understanding. 10/10 recommend anyone taking 201 to take her! I'd take her for 202 if I could.
She isn't too tough of a grader, and she wants to help. There is a lot of homework and it is very tedious, but that's expected in a Spanish class and it's good practice.
She is a very enthusiastic and understanding professor, especially if you do not know Spanish very well, she encourages you to try.
Edith is a great Spanish teacher. I wasnt sure if I would be able to learn Spanish, but she teaches in such an easy to learn way that I surprised myself by how well I was able to learn Spanish. She created a safe space to learn and speak a second language. I would recommend taking Spanish with Edith.
Profesora Lopez is great. She is a native speaker and her presentations are not boring. The homework assignments take a long time to complete, but you will learn a lot.
Professor Lopez is highly knowledgeable in the subject, and very organized. Her presentations and lectures are very well structured and very engaging. Overall, an outstanding professor and class.
Do NOT take this class during summer. It's a crazy ass amount of work. I have taken two classes per summer term & it was a breeze. This class requires an insane amount of HW & assignments that take forever & that need to be spaced out longer than 6 weeks. Professor Lopez is cool & very helpful. The workbook is a joke, but that's not her fault.
I took this class during summer. It was a lot of work but I took it while taking another online class and was able to do them both and have free time. Profesora Lopez is a great teacher, good feedback, helps you when you need it, and grades quick. I would take this class again.
I took this class over summer. I think I could have done better if I had a full 18 weeks to learn stem changes. However I think I got a good base knowledge of Spanish. Professors Lopez is very easy to talk to and she has set up her classes for success!
I took this class online summer. A lot of homework, but its worth it. You have to do video chats every week with your partner, which was really fun!! She responds quickly to emails, gives great feedback too.
Give many assignments throughout the class that actually help you learn the language. Isnt tough on grading and is always really good and giving feedback. I highly recommend this Professor as she provided easy to understand lectures and gave assignments that were also teaching us the language.
Professor Lopez was a great teacher for a first college Spanish class. She responded almost immediately to any emailed questions and made the recorded lectures interesting. All the grammar explanations were clear and concise. The online textbook homework consumed a lot of time but wasn't too difficult.
She made us work hard and did a great job!
Profesora Lopez is very organized and precise, which made the course approachable and straightforward. She does her best to explain everything thoroughly. She is also super kind.
Professor Lopez is very kind, responds quickly, and is extremely patient. I asked a million questions and every time she was quick to respond and help me out. Spanish is hard to learn over an online course, she helped make up for the lack of physical interaction with group assignments, both short response and video chats. I'd recommend her class.
Professor Lopez is a nice teacher. I took her class for my A-G high school requiurment. She gives a lot of homework and can be rude sometimes when there are technical issues.
Profesora Lopez is really chill. I only met on zoom with her once, but through her lectures, videos, & emails she seems very kind. She gives lots of information through her lectures that is useful to succeed in the class. However, her class could be very time consuming if you don't have any background in Spanish, (I've taken some classes before).
Professora Lopez is a terrific teacher. This class was completely online, that being said, there were a few group meetings to practice speaking with two other class mates. There is a lot of vocabulary in this class and it does move quickly. That being said, Professora Lopez was available and willing to assist as needed.
I took her class during online school for COVID. I learned a ton! She is young and you can tell she wants you to succeed! There is a lot of homework, but it is very helpful when learning a new language. There was no zoom, but she posted lecture videos. Overall, I enjoyed this class and would take a class of hers again!
Professor Edith Lopez is great! Shes very clear about what to expect in her class. Its a Spanish class so it might be difficult for some but she gives good tips and she also enunciates slowly so that her students can practice. She wants you to succeed so definitely practice and youll be fine.
This class was easy to pass, yet had a lot of work to do. Lopez was a good teacher and very nice. If you are not already familiar with Spanish this class will be pretty difficult. You need a lot of time set aside to do the assignments for this class.
Great teacher if you want to work hard and learn. If you're looking for an easy grade don't take her.
Went into this fall course terrified, but overall found that Profesora Lopez was a solid, helpful teacher. While the workload may initially seem intimidating, as long as you study and do your best, youll be fine.
Profesora Lopez is fabulous and always helpful. She understands that it can be difficult to learn a new language. I took it online and she is very reasonable.
I took this class online. Some teachers aren't very helpful online but Profesora Lopez was extremely helpful. If you study daily you will do amazing in this class. I got an A. She is very sweet and nice and wants you to learn! Online language classes are difficult, they take a lot of time and dedication. It was worth it!
Great teacher. Requires lots of work, but all languages do. She is extremely helpful and understanding. You can tell she loves her job and her students. If you want to learn Spanish, but are maybe a little scared. She is the teacher for you.
I took this class in the summer. Yes, it was intense but well worth it. I was pleased by the way the modules were displayed which were easy to navigate. There is a lot of work but if you read and study you will succeed. Professor Lopez clearly loves teaching and cares about her students and is very encouraging.
Profesor Lopez is awesome! There are a few group projects, and quite a few videos you have to submit- but everything is manageable if you stay on top of it. Some of the assignments can take 1-2 hours if you haven't done the reading or listened to the lectures, so make sure you're prepared. I will be taking her class again for 202!
Professor Lopez is a fantastic teacher for those that are new to the Spanish language! She's very understanding and helpful towards her students. However, you will have a massive amount of assignments to do during the semester, most being straightforward. Video group projects, quizzes, interviews, etc. She certainly awards hard work and effort.
Professor Lopez is amazing & very kind/helpful! Her class is very organized & has all assignments laid out in advance. Assignments are due every Monday (11:59 p.m.), you have a week to complete the weekly modules. Her directions are clear & her lectures are great, they cover the vocab & explain the chapter well. You won't regret taking this class!
Professor Lopez is amazing & helpful. Her class is very organized & all assignments laid out in advance. Her assignments are due every Monday (11:59 p.m.), you have a week to complete the weekly modules. I recommend printing the class schedule to stay on top of of the assignments. She does video project groups for her class. You won't regret it!
Mrs. Lopez was an awesome professor. She guided me through the class nicely and never hesitated to help me improve and give me encouragement as well to keep going.
For 5 credits this teacher depends on the book she doesn't teach and what she does is crap. This is not an entry course at all you must come with prior knowledge and at least a few years of Spanish.
I took her class last semester and it's definitely difficult for first time Spanish learners, but she gives great feedback, allows you to correct your mistakes and always gets right back to you when you email her. 10/10 would take her class again.
Very manageable class
Profesora Lopez is an excellent teacher: approachable and delivers simple information. It might seem overwhelming initially, but the course material is very manageable for someone like me who never learned Spanish, and it is my third language. The teacher is very accommodating and flexible. The outcome is worth it!
This class is good for anyone who is willing and motivated to spend the time. Professora Lopez is very kind, has tons of positive energy, is easy to contact, and smiles a lot :) I would definitely take this class again. There is a solid amount of homework, but that is to be expected since repetition is how we learn new languages. Gracias por todos!
The Professor is one of the best teachers I have ever had the pleasure of meeting; and she really is there for the students, absolutely lets you know your not alone. I have learned so much from taking her class and want anyone thinking of taking it; Do It!!, Her style is fun, challenging, and you will learn so much.
I personally loved when the professor made it easy to read her text and understand her lectures that she would put in her PowerPoints and she was always respectful about learning some thing new especially with language. I also really appreciated how she told us how to study and would tell us if we ever needed help she would help us.
Professor Lopez is amazing!! She designs her class for her students to succeed. In order to achieve a good grade you have to do the homework. It can be difficult but she makes it so easy to reach her if you need extra help. Overall, I can't say enough good things about her!
This professor is very nice; the relationship feels very personal, and if you need help with a certian topic, it is easy to set up an appointment. This doesn't mean that this professor gives everyone an "A+"; they give very good feedback and lays out a good rubric that clearly states the expectations of learning.
Profe Lopez was awesome! There are many interactive online activities as well as group discussions but my favorite part was the oral interview that is one-on-one with her. I invited Profe Lopez to one of my gigs and she came with friends and family! Truly wonderful. And great immersive Spanish. You WILL learn with Profe Lopez as your teacher. 11/10
Sra. Lopez is an exemplary professor and teacher. She has her act together: she's erudite, organized, and passionate...the best traits a teacher can have.
Profesora Lopez was professional, kind, available, responsive and supportive all semester long. Her self-made videos for class were always helpful and full of content; she was open about her experience learning languages and she gave students ample chances to learn and practice content. Would take a class with her as instructor againz
Prof. Lopez was a wonderful instructor to take online. Everything is clearly explained in the modules, with a few lectures and mostly online program assignments to complete. Occasional mandatory video discussion assignment with classmates & flipgrid videos. Quizzes and exams draw from online program work & lectures, so study those for success.
This was a great class. I recommend to anyone who is focused and can be self motivated to get work done. The class moves fast but the professor is wonderful!!
This teacher has a good heart and wants to be the best she can be. She is a really tough grader and the class consists primarily of busy work (5-10 hours a week of 'busy work' on top of the non-busy work). If you are looking for an easy class I suggest you look elsewhere. I have years of experience with Spanish and still struggled for an A.
The class is fairly standard for a level one. Not too difficult but none the less learning a new language is always a lot of work. The presenations and material are straightforward and the hw and exams are fair. The class is fun in that there is lots of interaction and she has youthful energy and is friendly. Would recommend.
Very blunt exam study guides and uses Mcgraw Hill-- which was frustrating, and did most of the "teaching". I understood that it's an online course but wish I got more from this teacher. it required around 6 or more hours of assignments/studying a week which is normal. Not very engaging didn't feel like I learned much. maybe in person was better...
Professor Lopez is a great teacher, her lectures are precise and the homework will definitely get you to learn something, if you want to get better at spanish, this is the class. If you put in the time the homework is easy. Anytime you're learning a new language it's hard, and I did not find Professor Lopez any harder than my past spanish teacher.
I actually learned Spanish. She is a fair teacher who will work with you if you reach out. Her tests are easy if you pay attention in class. There is a lot of homework but it is the same as reading a textbook but getting credit for it. I think the homework really helps with the lectures and the learning of Spanish. The cultural aspect is also cool!
For the first time in a foreign language class I actually was able to absorb the material. Prof. Lopez is warm, patient & very in depth with her courses. There was a lot of homework, but the repetition of tutorials helped a ton. Prof. Lopez is always willing to give feedback & a very fair grader if she sees you putting in the effort
Mrs. Lopez's professionalism and easy going personality has made Spanish one of the most enjoyable subjects that I have taken in college. The course was challenging, but by no means difficult or impossible. I enjoyed the different methods she employed to teach the course: computer, group discussions, writing and oral interviews. Loved her class.
Great semester with Professor Lopez, she's available for any questions and concerns. The class is doable but also heavy homework assignments so make sure you read.
I really enjoyed taking this Spanish class. The professor Edith Lopez gives good feedback and always responded to any of my questions. She is very understanding and I felt like I could come to her if I needed any help.
I think this professor was pretty good at explaining the instructions when need be. She seems to grade a little hard, but that can be good if you want to learn to speak Spanish correctly.
Professor Lopez is hands-down the best Spanish teacher I've ever had. This class was not easy, but the way she teaches makes learning a new language enjoyable. Never before have I learned all of my classmates names and got know each one of them. She brings something special into her classroom, and I was bummed when the semester ended.
I really benefitted from this course. Skilled, kind, responsive, and enthusiastic professor.
Profesora Lopez is a great professor. I took her Spanish 202 class online during the Fall semester as a dual enrollment student in high school. While it is a difficult class, Profesora Lopez provides many useful resources and helpful tools. She also has prerecorded lectures to go along with the textbook material which are useful for taking notes.
She is nice and fair and I felt like the class wasn't too challenging. Out of the spanish teachers and professors i have had, she is my favorite.
Easy to succeed with completion of homework. This cl is a good resource for new learners and she is very fair.
She is nice and fair and I felt that the course wasn't too difficult. Out of the Spanish teachers and professors I've had she was my favorite.
She's nice and fair and I felt that the course wasn't too difficult. Of the Spanish teachers and professors I've had, she was my favorite.
Professor Lopez is a good teacher who cares about her students. Expectations are clear from the start, homework is appropriate, and the work definitely prepares you for the exams. Her grading is fair and the material presented is comprehensive. I appreciate the focus on culture. I would definitely take another class w/Prof. Lopez in the future.
Awesome! Thank you so much for a good class. Attentive, knowledgable, considerate, credible. Gracias por todo.
Great teacher, always available for extra help. Gives helpful feedback.
Professor Lopez is a fantastic online Spanish teacher. Her lectures were so informative and helped me understand concepts that were a little blurry after Spanish 1. I really appreciated her content and learned so much through this class.
Professor Lopez does oral interviews ever 2 weeks or so which is a one on one talking time. She replies to emails in a timely manner and is there to help her students with whatever they need. The assignments although long, are super beginner friendly. The online textbook is typically 30-40 pages long, there are songs to listen to with quizzes too.
This teacher was awesome and was very easy to figure things out with when there was a problem, great teacher, would definitley take this course again.
Taking Spanish class was definitely a challenge, but it was absolutely doable with effort and dedication. There is an oral final exam, but the teacher created such a comfortable and supportive environment that it wasn't as intimidating as I thought it would be. This class is an excellent way to improve your speaking skills. Highly recommended!
She is a good professor who is easygoing and nice. She is pretty easy on tests, and she makes things pretty clear and accessible in the online portion. Over all I think she's pretty great. And I will be taking another class from her next semester.
Professor Lopez was a very rational and very encouraging professor. When I fell behind due to personal issues she gave me a second shot at the test because I was occupied. You just have to put in the work and it can be an easy class it all up to how much effort you put in.
Lopez was great! There are modules every week, you get a week to complete them. It's managable if you space it out. You get assigned a group to meet with once every two weeks for a short zoom. The tests and quizzes are easy as long as you do the hw! And she gives you all the material you need to have prepped for the two oral exams. Highly recommend
Great Professor. She is awesome. Highly recommend.
I took Spanish years ago before this class, so I was a bit rusty coming in, but I learned so much in her course. She has a really young energy that makes the class engaging and fun, you can tell she genuinely loves teaching and wants everyone to succeed.
Professor Lopez is amazing! Her teaching was organized and straightforward, and my Spanish has improved a ton. She wants all of her students to succeed and is very nice/approachable. There is a good amount of homework in this course, but since it was completely online and roughly 90% Asynchronous, I think the courseload was very reasonable.
Great Professor! She made the class enjoyable and easy to follow along with. Would take again!
Overall Professor Lopez was great! She was very patient and nice. She also explained things very well if you had a question. Lecture was in person and the homework online was pretty easy and straight forward. I would take her Spanish class again, and her Spanish 2 class in the future as well.
As a native speaker even I learned a lot. Very patient, passionate, explains well and gives good feedback/corrections. Accessible outside of class, answers lots of questions. Lots of note taking and practicing. Made a good connection with her as well as the others in my class. Will and am taking her again.
This instructor wants you to be successful in her class. She is supportive and fun to learn from. She uses lecture, slides, music, videos, and pop icons from the Spanish speaking world to teach language and culture. Online version of the textbook was very helpful. I enjoyed class a lot. I look forward to taking Spanish 202 from her next term.
I won't lie, this class had a heavy workload, but the instruction was always clear, and I was always given sufficient time to complete the week's work. I would take her class again. As long as you are responsible and stay on top of your homework it shouldn't be too difficult. Notes were a life-saver. Attending the online meetings were important.
Great teacher and very fair with her grading. Able to retake test to improve your score. Written test are taken at home and you have as long as you want to take them, makes taking a test less stressful. I plan to take Spanish 202 with her in spring.
She creates a positive, encouraging environment where learning feels both fun and rewarding. She explains everything clearly, is extremely patient, and always makes sure everyone understands before moving on. I really appreciate how she uses real-life examples, practice conversations, and cultural insights to make the language come alive.
Edith Lopez is an outstanding Spanish instructor! Her lessons are incredibly well-structured, making complex grammar concepts easy to understand. The online book and activities make practicing outside of class seamless. I also appreciate her flexibility in assignment deadlines. I highly recommend her to anyone serious about learning Spanish.
