Prof. Musik is very caring about her students and their success. In order to do well in this class you have to show up to class and participate A LOT as she grades participation and attendance. You also have to put a lot of outside effort in and stay on top of studying and homework to do well in this class.

I love Sra. Musik! She's my favorite Spanish professor I've had. She's so nice and truly wants you to do well. She even gives you her phone # so you can text her for help. Study guides prepare you well for the exams. Easy grader. Attendance and participation definitely matter though. As long as you do the homework and show up, you'll be fine.
