Professor Blackhurst is great. Her lectures are engaging and helps you understand the material better. The reading is not too difficult but needed to be done because there is usually a quiz in class about the reading. The quizzes are not too hard and you are able to use your book so if you mark and take notes, the quiz is easy.

Profe Blackhurst is one of my favorite spanish professors!

Profe Blackhurst has required readings in a packet to make it easy to read and annotate. There's Daily quizzes but not difficult with extra credit. Warning, she did have a final project, paper and test at the end of the semester. None of them were overly difficult, but it did seem a little unnecessary with all the other classes I was taking.

Profe B is awesome! She really cares about the learning experience, not just making it through the material. The readings were sometimes a lot, but we always went over them in class! She varied the activities and assignments in a way that was engaging. The discussions in class always added to what we read outside of class. Best choice for 355!

If you just show up to class and pay attention you should be fine.

I really liked this class. It is easy to see how the same class given by a different professor could be very boring, but professor Blackhurst does a good job making it interesting through many small projects and activities. She was also very understanding when it came to due dates and technical difficulties with assignments.

Profe Blackhurst was great! Most classes consisted of discussions on the readings which helped a lot to reinforce the readings and remember them. She teaches super well about the terms needed for exams and projects. She is very understanding and was very willing to work with students to help them succeed. Would highly recommend!!!

There are a lot of readings (it is a literature class) but the assignments aren't difficult. Lots of opportunities to discuss the readings/assignments in class, and you often discuss them before you take one of the few reading quizzes. She genuinely cares, and personally reached out to check in. The more you participate, the better off you'll be!

Professor Blackhurst is super caring and has a deep passion for what she is teaching! She explains concepts clearly and fosters a classroom of discussion. There is a good mix of types of assignments- papers, creative work, and group projects. This class does have a lot of reading, but if you keep up with it, you will be very successful!

The group projects make it more engaging because the material is pretty dull with lots of reading. My only complaint is I feel like for a lot of the assignments there was not a clear rubric and she graded pretty harshly. The midterm is weighted more than the final and I feel like the material was not well explained.

Professor is a good Professor. She gives a reasonable amount of work and is very understanding of a student's time and schedule. There were some random art projects that caught me off guard but they were graded very gracefully. The mid term was surprisingly hard compared to the rest of the class, but the final is all multiple choice so that's nice.

One thing I loved about Professor Blackhurst's teaching was how she gave plenty of time for discussion with our classmates. Sometimes it felt like too much time but it was actually super helpful. I also appreciated that she didn't make us feel dumb for not knowing certain words in Spanish and even admitted when she didn't know em either. Super nice

Professor Blackhurst is extremely kind and caring--you can sense her desire to teach and increase understanding. The class itself is very easy, with little outside homework and a small portion of the grade being composed of exam scores. There are a few projects, but they are all very manageable.

Professor Blackhurst truly cares about her students, and this has been one of the first Spanish classes at BYU that was well organized. Learning Suite kind of sucked sometimes, and sometimes we weren't given a huge heads up on upcoming assignments but if you read the schedule and put in the work you can succeed in her class.

Loved Dr. Blackhurst. Her class is super organized, so you always know what's due and what's expected. There is a good amount of reading (normal for lit), but even with 19 credits, I never felt overwhelmed since she reviews key info before quizzes and exams. 10/10 recommend, one of the best teachers I've had at BYU.
