She is very sensitive to the spanish learning white kid. She takes her time to make sure everyone understands and that noone is left behind--she will ask. Weekly quizes straight from the online work (I mean exactly). She will give many partial exams so your study load is not so big. Very recommended

Sra. Valasquez is eager to help anyone who enters her classroom. I recommend her for the summer sessions. They are less intensive and a passing grade comes more easily.

she is helpful, and very conscious about going to fast. she goes over everything we read in spanish in english as well. she always asked if everyone understood what she taught. she is very sweet and funny, always made class enjoyable. very fair grader. assigned projects that were fun. i recommend taking her in the summer.

The Spanish department is evil, but Velasquez does her best to combat that evil and make the class interesting. If you walk in to her class, she wants you to do well and learn Spanish. She's funny and knows what she's talking about, even if she has computer troubles now and then. Definately a good Spanish professor.

awesome teacher..loving and kind..never had a boring day and she always had fun and exciting stuff for our class to do..She gives extra credit which is extremely easy..if you do your work your almost guaranteed an A..show up to class and have a good attitude and you'll love her class..

Prof. Velasquez also teaches at A.C.C Northridge. She is one of the BEST teachers I have ever had! She obviously loves to teach, most of all she wants you to learn and understand. She will never embarass an uncomfortable student. She always makes class interesting!

She is the best Spanish instructor at Texas State I had her for 1420, 2310, 2320 and she is the best there is. She understand how hard learning another language is therefore she takes everything slowly....I recommend her to anyone whether you are an advanced spanish speaker or a beginner because she is truly the best there is

She is the best teacher I've ever had and I'm a senior. I don't think I need to say anymore, but I will. Prof V. is funny, smart, honest, helpful, understanding, caring and she truly wants you to succeed. All you have to do is show you want to. You can not find a better prof. I wish she taught all subjects. I wish I had friends like her lol.

Prof. V is amazing! I had her for spanish 2, 3 and 4. She truly wants you to learn and will never give up on you. She has fun presentations and extra credit is so helpful! She not only teachs the spanish lang. but the culture too, and her stories are amazing! TAKE HER IF YOU CAN! Best teacher at TXST!

She was amazing and truly passionate about the Spanish Language! I would definitely take her again if I had a choice.

I loved her!! She is so amazing and such a passionate caring person. Print out EVERY handout she posts and bring it to class for extra points. Speak up and make sure you so up to class. She trully wants you to learn the subject. You will not recieve a grade you didnt earn so work hard learn the language and you will be happy.

She really is awesome. I had easy teachers for both Espanol 1 & 2, but this class was the first class I learned anything in. She was easy, but the goals of the class were clear. She makes sure that the concepts are pounded in. The only complaints was I felt like Sarah Palin was taking the class with me, but Senora Velasquez answered all of her dumb questions with patience. I totally recommend taking a class she teaches.

Fairly easy class. Keep up with online hw and participate in class. She has no problem failing anyone due to attendance. I had a B but she gave me an automatic F about two weeks before fin because of absences. So yeah show up to class.

I had Professor Velasquez for Spanish 2,3, and 4. She's strict on attendance, but has a great treaching style. The grammatical concepts are tough but she has a way of helping you understand. She's awesome! Take her class if you can!

She is a great teacher. Half the time Spanish teacher's who grew up speaking the language can't teach it, but she really knows how to explain it. She takes attendance seriously, so show up and do all that online work, but anything you need she'll help you with. You have to pay attention, but it's not a killer class.

For each spanish class I have taken she has been the easiest, and best understood. Strict on attendance, but the way she explains everything is so simple to get. Good teacher to take

The subject is difficult, but Ms. V is very helpful & gives lots of chances for extra credit. You must attend class or she takes points off your grade.

great energy. loves her job

Professor Velasquez is an awesome teacher. I took her class in the second summer session and was absolutely dreading it. But she is very knowledgeable and really cares about helping each student succeed. She offers extra credit if you do the homework and if you show up to class. TAKE HER! Highly recommend.

Prof V will definitely make you work for you grades but loves to help you learn, especially if you ask lots of questions, and follow directions. Print the slides!!

Attendance and the textbook are only mandatory because it is a departmental class, THE PROFESSORS HAVE NO SAY FOR INTRO COURSE. She gets side tracked sometimes, but she is fun and so inspiring! Her accent is NOT EVEN THAT BAD. EXTREMELY willing to help those who show they try to show SOME effort. COMMUNICATE, she will be there!!!!

Professor Velasquez was my favorite professor at Texas State, she has so much passion for Spanish and will do ANYTHING to help you get a good grade. She wants each student to be successful and will go out of her way to get you there. She is a true inspiration and has changed my view on learning a language. You are a fool if you don't take her class

Very helpful woman. Don't be afraid to get to know your professors, they have some pretty cool stories too!

I am so grateful to have had professor Velasquez as my professor. She will do ANYTHING to help you get the grade that you desire. The way she teaches makes what you have learned stick with you not just for the tests but for the whole semester. She is the sweetest person and has amazing life stories. i will miss her!

Prof V. Is not only a great Spanish teacher but simply one of the best teachers around! Expect a challenging course with a professor that will do anything to help students succeed. I'm an older student that took Spanish for the first time. She made difficult concepts comprehendable and has excellent handouts! I highly recommend her to anyone!!

After 4 semesters of a foreign language, it was a breath of fresh air to have her as my professor. She is absolutely amazing and is truly passionate about helping the students in her class, you become her "kids". She answers all emails, encourages class questions, and makes passing her class feel rewarding. One of the BEST professors ever.

Great teacher if you chine to class prepared. She suggests that you print certain papers before hand and if you expect to pass you should print off everything she tells you. I had her for Spanish 2 and spanish 3 and wish I could have gotten her this semester I love her! If you don't come you won't pass, and make sure to do msl.

AWESOME. If you show up and participate in class she will love you. She tells you not to be afraid to participate because if you knew everything you wouldn't be there. She wants her students to pass the course and will try and help any way she can. Go to office hours and talk to her too if you're struggling.

Professora Velasquez is extremely caring and passionate about teaching. She loves learning and really wants you to understand the language. Her main goal is to help you feel comfortable speaking, so you will have some presentations. She is encouraging and non-judgemental and explains things so well. Do not miss class or turn in assignments late.

Profesora V. is one of the best professors I've taken so far in college. in the beginning of the semester she will appear tough but she really lightens up after the first couple weeks. She was always available for her office hours and she was very helpful in areas I was having trouble. I would absolutely take her again! Love her!

She is one of the most caring profs I have ever taken at TXST. She will literally help you with everything in her power, to allow you to succeed. She's hilarious and amazing! 10/10 would take her again--and I'm awful at Spanish.

Profesora V is an amazing professor! She really cares about her students doing well in the class. She provides study guides for each test and gives a lot of extra credit. Participation and Attendance is mandatory because it counts towards your grade. Just do the work and print the papers she asks you to print and you will be completely fine!

Prof. Velasquez is a teacher that really cares about her students. If students show interest in Spanish, they become one of her "kids". She is nurturing and giving and has amazing stories of education and Mexico and the journey to become a US citizen. She values education and inspires people to reach for their goals. I learned so much from her.

Prof. Velasquez really cares about her students. She is nurturing and giving and has amazing stories of education and Mexico and the journey to become a US citizen. She values education and inspires people to reach for their goals. I learned so much from her and not just Spanish. She's one of the best professors I've ever had.

Prof. Velasquez is great! I liked her very much and would recommend her to anyone. Attendance is mandatory, and at times she can be long winded with her stories, but she is a wonderful professor and she gives you every opportunity to succeed.

Professor Velasquez is amazing. She can be tough, but only because she's so committed to her students learning the language. If you do your homework, participate in class, and only miss a few lectures, you will have no problem acing her class! She is also such a fun professor, I actually looking forward to going everyday. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

LOVE Professora Velasquez! My daughter and I took her class together and we both fell in love with her and her stories. She is highly organized, nurturing, and respectful of her students - but she does have high expectations and wants her students to truly learn and not be afraid of the language. She is inspirational.

She's incredibly blunt and silly, and really lets you know what's on her mind. She goes beyond the chalkboard and actually shows you, speaks to you, and guides you in the learning process that makes the subject easier. Beware, though, she uses standardized tests and homework, which there is a LOT of. She allows 3 free absences and plenty of EC.

Prof V is great, she's by far my favorite professor at Tx State, go to class, do the handout (and a little extra) and you build up EC for the end, she gives plenty of opportunities to bring your grade up, she's very approachable but she is very honest and doesn't mind talking with the class. Do the hw, go to class and put in effort and you'll be ok

I began the semester afraid of my Spanish Course, but after having Professor V I wasn't scared anymore and I passed the class with an A! She is AMAZING. You have to go to class, but can miss 3 days. Also you always work on handouts in and outside of class, and have online homework. There are two oral projects, three exams, and extra credit!

She is a good professor, she wants us to really learn the language, but also understands that learning a new language is hard. she's very easy to talk to and quick to help her students. There is a lot of work but she will explain it all to you. Don't expect your grades to be handed to you. Be prepared to work!

Profesora Velasquez is an inspirational person who has overcome a lot to get to where she is now. The lectures can become political, but she treats her class is like a family. She appreciates students who take advantage of the extra credit and never stop giving their all. She will help you if you help yourself.

If you want to actually learn Spanish, take her she's an excellent Profesora, but don't think you'll get by from minimum effort. Velasquez will actually make you learn the language, which I personally enjoyed. Best Spanish Prof Ive had without a doubt x10 and I'm currently in Spanish 2320

If she has you do Vistas online do it!! It helps with remembering conjugations and everything else. Also, she makes it obvious she wants you to excel so just talk to her and she WILL help

Professor V wants you to do well in the class. She gives a lot of extra credit and is very passionate about what she does. However, attendance is mandatory and there is a lot of homework.

Prof V is a no-nonsense teacher, but her life stories offer comic relief. She makes you work for your grade. This is not the class if you want to just coast. Show up, participate, memorize the conjugations, and prepare to not be babied. I am not a native Spanish speaker but I still got an A even though I work full-time and go to school. Take her!

Taking 2320 now. ABOUT HER: She's loud, not rude. Taught while recovering from COVID herself, she's inspiring overall. If you show effort, she'll help you. Any prof teaching language expects you to know stuff from past classes, makes no sense to be mad about this. XC offered, not in syllabus. Attendance/Participation help come finals. Love her!!

I was terrified to take Spanish II because I'm a bad speaker, but Profesora Velasquez made every student feel very comfortable in participating. If you do something wrong she tells you good job and lets you learn from your mistakes. She cares so much about her students and was there for us even when she was suffering from a medical emergency.

Had daily homework, which we went over in class. As long as you had that done, you could easily participate and follow along as she explained questions. I never felt stupid when I was wrong and I got a good grade, just have to pay attention and participate.

I absolutely loved her and found her to be fair. She didn't give us a lot of homework. The homework we had to do was in the connect and It was the same amount that you take in 1410. Just pay attention and ask her for help she will be there for you

There are a lot of negative reviews regarding Mrs.V and I think sternness and having set expectations do not equal a bad teacher. If you do what you are supposed to do and actively participate you will be absolutely fine. She offers help and assistance to students who try and apply themselves. Overall she gave me a good foundation for Spanish 2.

Prof. V can be tough but you can really tell she cares about you learning the language. Do not take her if you're not willing to put in the effort. Participation is easy as long as you do the tarea and are ready to share your answers in class. She will respect you if you do the work and show effort, but she will not if you are lazy.

Listen do not take this class if you plan on not going to class or participating. This professor really cares about you learning and doesn't put up with slackers. Attendance is mandatory, and she gives clear instructions on expectations. She really knows the language and wants you to learn. The material isn't hard as long as you study.

This class took up so much of my time. There are multiple textbook and weekly assignments along with 3 comprehension exams, a final, and 2 oral exams. This was 100% my hardest class. Be ready to work hard or fail if you take this teacher.

These reviews make her sound like the devil, she is actually a fun and caring teacher. These reviews seem to forget this is a 4 credit class, meaning more work. Ofc if you're lazy you will fail, just study and participate and you will pass. I think her stories were cute and show cased why she cares so much for spanish.

Profesora. Velasquez is an amazing professor. I have taken her 2 times already and I am getting ready to take her in the summer. If you are truly passionate about learning spanish then I highly suggest taking her, because she will put you to work. I am far from a native speaker, I am a white american girl.

I've had two Spanish professors here at txst and I can confidently say she was the best and honestly one of my fav professors. She's giving Mexican grandma vibes in the best way possible. The workload can be a lot and possibly difficult, but she is more than happy to help. Put in the effort, and you'll do great!

Very disappointed with the other reviews. This is a very difficult subject, and if you are judging a professor on that alone it isn't fair.Velasquez is the best professor I've ever had. She is fair, understanding, and overall a lovely person. I wish I took her for all 4 of my SPAN classes. If you don't want to put in the effort, take someone else.

Very caring professor.
