She has an accent but she is very helpful. Even if people ask the same question several times, she is eager to answer it and makes sure she helps everyone that needs it. Most labs, have you do a midterm and final only but she gives other points for other assignments/quizzes so that you will be able to have more grades and an easier way of passing.

It is hard to find a class that is easy AND educational. Her tests are like the reviews she gives you. She gives quizzes almost everyday, which helps alot during your tests. One flaw is her speech. She does have a heavy accent, but is you speak Spanish (who doesn't it Miami), you shouldn't have a hard time understanding her. I recommend her.

She is such a nice professor. She gives reviews before all the tests which were almost identical to the test. She gives quizzes each class which are worth 1 point each and the HW is optional, but counts as extra credit.

Yes, she gives you a lot of homework and constant quizzes, but they are easy A's and meant to help you repeat the material you're learning in class so that you can get an A on her tests!
