This is a college professor! If your looking for a pre-school type Spanish teacher, she is not for you. Prof. Rogg is a excellent professor and she is extremely demanding but she will definitely work with you. I highly recommend her for those that want a true experience. Homework every session, a quiz a week but you'll be ready for SPN 102!!!

She's a little intense, but I love her. If you pull your weight, she'll help you out when grading your tests, which she well preps you for.She doesn't take any crap, so be prepared to pay if you slack off, which just makes class miserable and really annoying for everyone.I'm not sure if I would follow as well if I hadn't had span before.Pace=fast.

This is a top-rate and experienced educator with a practically fool-proof method of presenting the material. If you stay on top of your work, and just put in the time, you shouldn't get less than a "B" in her class - it's up to you! Take good notes w/ page #'s, make flashcards and study the book. She gives you everything you need to succeed.

I thought she was crazy the whole semester, her attitude was at 100. But when i received my grade i was surprised. She cares about her students ( I guess) But she makes them work Hard! Her rules are high school, and says this isn't high school. NO bathroom, NO gum, NO phones, NO "ADHD movements". All Hw due@End of semester. (online &Work book HW)

An EXCELLENT professor! She deserves double the credit for dealing with students who were very disruptive in class. Even so, she made sure everyone had the tools to learn Spanish and get an A as long as they put the effort in. She offers a wealth of knowledge outside of just Spanish and I would definitely recommend taking Spanish with her!

I took the summer 2016 session 1 course--6 weeks--with Professor Rogg and my family and friends have been amazed at the amount of Spanish I've learned! She is so experienced that learning from her makes Spanish so much easier and more accessible. She is warm, friendly, and available at office hours. She is so intelligent and always willing to help.

Professor Rogg is an amazing teacher, she truly, truly cares about the student. she is helpful and wants to you to improve your grade. There are students that would not agree with this statement, but the ones that do not, are the ones who were not putting in the effort to study or do their work, the ones that were disrespectful to Prof Rogg.
