Prof Elley is really nice but this class does get boring because you do the same things every day. However, it's an easy A as long as you come to class and do the homework. I recommend taking at least spanish 1001 first if you haven't taken spanish before because she doesn't teach the basics. If you've taken spanish in the past, this class EASY!

Took this class asynchronously. I thought it was very easy. 3 exams and a final plus connect homework and a seesaw activity each week. There is a project to go along with each exam at the end of the chapter, nothing too difficult though. She is a very easy grader and answers emails very quickly. I would take her again!!

While she is really sweet and nice, introverts wont enjoy the class as much. Very engaging activities with other students and attendance in mandatory 5% of your grade however the work is not so hard just do the connect and seesaw assignments on time and you should be good.

Would definitely take again because its a super fun class. There is a bit of talking/participation inside class but you mostly stay within your table or small groups which is good. Professor Elley is super nice and keeps her class pretty lighthearted and fun and her activities are pretty simple once you start them!

Professor Elley is super sweet and runs the classroom well. She speaks in Spanish about 75% of the time and English the other 25%, but you are allowed to ask questions in either language and she'll usually answer questions in English. Homework and tests on Connect so not a huge need to study & a few fun and easy projects! Very relaxed class!

Professora Elley was absolutely amazing! So helpful and caring towards her students. I took her for Spanish 1001 and was really hoping to take her for 1002 as well but she didn't teach the course this semester. If she ever teaching a class I need again, I would take it in a heart beat! Don't keep looking, just take her class!

Professor Elley is a caring and kindhearted person. Her class was so much fun I looked forward to going to her class. She assigns HW on connect but it isn't too hard or long. There were seesaw activities due every Friday and they were easy too. We had a lot of group projects where you had to get up and talk with other people in the room. TAKE HER!

Allows notes on every test and the final. One final project and you present in groups. A few connect assignments and a seesaw activity since its a hybrid. In class you usually just talk and she'll ask you questions in Spanish. Sometimes she does fun activities in class as well. Attendance is worth 10% of your grade. Would definitely take again.

A really great professor. Honestly, if you didn't take Spanish in high school you might struggle, but otherwise it was easy and the class work is not accessive. She cares about your circumstances and will help you very much. The activities are fun. Weekly homework online, not hard.

TAKE HER FOR SPANISH. If you are someone with no Spanish experience whatsoever she is the BEST and EASIEST you will ever have. Assignments are easy and done through connect with weekly Seesaw activities which are a breeze. She is very caring and makes class interesting and fun so you actually WANT to show up. It is VERY HARD not to get an A+.

Prof Elley is a super energetic person and made learning Spanish super fun. She had us talking, listening, and answering questions in Spanish the entire class. We hardly spent time just listening to her lecture. There were tests and projects. If you aren't a good tester don't worry because the projects count more than tests.

She is super sweet and if you ever have a personal problem she is willing to help you out. Only downside is almost all the coursework for the online class is on a website called Connect which kinda sucks for learning Spanish for the first time. The other assignments are video presentations which she always grades lightly and with nice feedback.

Professor Elley was such an amazing professor, she's extremely caring and remembers her students. Also you have to TRY to get under an A in this class. Attendance is mandatory and she gives 2 free passes before it starts impacting your grade. All the tests are openbook and there are 3 projects spaced throughout the semester which took 3-4 hours.

Took her for Intro Spanish as a dual-enrollment student. Some of my professors since have made me nostalgic. She is such a lovely person and such a joy to work with. Her smile and sense of humor make every class a pleasure. She finds her job fulfilling and it shows. Group presentations were a blast. She has nothing to prove and everything to teach.

This professor is super sweet and genuine. She will always try and accommodate you, and she genuinely makes Spanish class interactive and engaging. Get ready for lots of easy but relatively tedious homework— it's definitely worth it! Not a harsh grader, a few projects but they're easy.

Sra. Elley is an amazing lecturer and teacher of Spanish. She cares about each student and makes sure the lessons are clear. There's a lot of class discussions and breakout into groups to help solidify the speaking part of Spanish. She is the best Spanish prof I've ever taken. If you can, take her!!!
