mean. also known as the Spanish Nazi.

she is very hard. not a great teacher at all. if you do not know the answer she just stares at you and make you fell like you are the stupidest person in the world. i recommend not taking her at all.

She is extremely hard, unhelpful, and you can't understand what she's saying. Her english is crappy. She doesn't understand what you tell her. If you don't know the answer, she gets mad and makes you look completely stupid. She expects you to be fluent and it is a beginner class. Don't take her!!!!

She was mean to me when I asked her for help. SHe basically told me that there was nothing she could do to help me. I would never take her again.

Students do not take this professor EVER! Not recommended!!!!Not even a tutor will help you!

She told us a bunch of stuff about selling our old books back and buying the new ones that isn't the truth at all. I dropped her class for personal reasons but now i can't sell my 80 dollar book back.

Not only did she randomly put you on the spot in class but if you didn't know the answer then she would get mad at you...which, I didn't think was right. You should try to help your students not discourage them from wanting to learn. I could hardly understand her, too.

I speak spanish pretty fluently. This teacher is very hard. She never explains anything to you, and because she doesnt speak English, there are a lot of misunderstandings, and she doesn't care even if you have a good excuse or reason. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER!

wrost teacher ever!

I got an A in Span 101 and I just stopped going because after studyin really hard I ws still failing. She is hard to understand and she doesn't explain anything. PLEASE DONT TAKE HER!!!!!!!!

I was not impressed with this teacher. She is difficult to understand and makes learning Spanish A LOT more difficult than it should be. Also, the book that SLU uses for this class is TERRIBLE! I would suggest not taking Spanish here until there is an almost complete overhaul of the curriculum!

she is really hard and it is really frustating because she expects you to already know everything. Also she does not explain anything well and it seems like she doesnt even care about her students. I got an A in every one of my other spanish classes and no matter how much i studied for this class i still failed!

This woman is one of a kind. I am fluent in spanish, I spent a few years in latin american countries, and this woman has had the most incomprehensable manner of teaching. assignments are scattered everywhere, she gives random exams with little notice, she does not explain herself and the book is the most horrible thing ive ever seen.DO NOT TAKE HER

I took her ONLINE! It's very CONFUSING. She is RUDE and a LITTLE MEAN. Her class is HARD and her GRADING. NOT CLEAR at all. DONT RECOMMEND

HORRIBLE! I took this online, thought it would be easy since I had two years in high school and made A's. I made a 52 on the 1st exam and other grades were simular. I almost failed, not because I didn't know the material. I came to her office and sent her e-mails to no avail. She was always rude and even told me I just wasn't cut out for Spanish!

I was thrilled to take Spanish. It was a lot of work for me because I had not been in school in 20+ years. But I am a successful self taught person, so I dont mind a challenge. The problem came in when it came to her personality. She is a great teacher, with no "bed side manner" so to speak. Personally, she is a cold hearted judgemental woman.

This was the worst experience with a teacher i've ever had at SLU.I highly do not recommend her. she always had a sub teacher come in so she could take the day off. When you needed help she was NEVER n her office, there was always a stickynote on the door saying im not in this week which was EVERY WEEK!

RUN!!!, seriously do not take this teacher. I don't care what anyone says about her being easy, and people who need their hand held to pass. I emailed her everyday to ask for help on a couple ques. she never answered. I went to her office and she was never there. What good is a teacher if she does not teach. I had to go to the dept head to get help

HORRIBLE!!!!! I had to drop her class because not only did she not post any grades, but she made her grading scale impossible to understand! Her test was completely in Spanish, which I somewhat understand, but the questions she asked were simply preposterous. Very rude. Class policies were a nightmare to figure out. Extremely unhelpful. DO NOT TAKE

Avoid her! Never take her! She has favorite students, and is way to hard for an undergrad level education. She is mean to students who are NOT perfect spanish speakers, and she seems to think everything personally.

I dreaded going to her class twice a week. I felt like I was being bullied everytime I stepped foot into her classroom. She also made us put name tents on our desks (yes those things from kindergarten!!!!!) I mean come on we're adults! I made A's in 101 and 102, but dropped her class because I seriously thought I would fail.

The worst teacher I have ever had. I have emailed her 4 times, and have never received one back. She expects that everyone speaks fluent Spanish, when she cannot even speak English correctly. Do not take her. She should be fired for how unprofessional she is.

This is the worst teacher I've ever had. Her tests are made from material that is covered in the next portion covered. She is unavailable to meet with and she is not pleasant to deal with when corresponding. I wouldn't recommend her to my worst enemy.

DONT TAKE HER! I take online classes every semester, and this is the first class I have EVERY done bad in. She doesn't answer emails with questions. The material on the exam is not the material covered in the homework or quizzes. During her oral section of the exam she doesn't speak clear enough so its impossible to get right. DONT TAKE HER!!

Horrible teacher. The online class was pretty easy as far as quizzes and homework. Had to go to class to take tests. Her tests are nothing like what she says in the email. Very unclear and inconsistent. DO NOT TAKE HER.

She is very thin skinned and takes any question re course content or her methods as a personal insult. She doesn't post grades in a timely manner and claims to be too busy to give feedback on assignments. Tests are extremely challenging. I have yet to hear anything positive about her but maybe those who like her aren't as vocal.

I am a fluent spanish speaker and this class was impossible to pass. she requires a stupid and pointless forum each unit on different spanish culture. it is a waste of time, she doesnt give a clear basis for grading and you learn nothing. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS!!!

This is by far the worst teacher i've ever had. I did miss a few classes, but its college who doesn't... but i studied the material at home and studied for tests and it was still impossible. DO NOT TAKE HER SHE IS TERRIBLE. She is hard to understand and even the directions on her test are in spanish so if you can't read that then you're screwed..

The absolute worst professor to date. I like Spanish and I made solid B's from 101-201. FACTS- She will NOT help you herself. Takes 3 days to 2 weeks to answer e-mails. Not around DURING OFFICE HOURS. Must be FLUENT to pass. Must put 25 hours of work in on Connect each week. 3 students were supposed to graduate in my class, and didn't. Your warned

I'm an A student.. This is my first Spanish class and she looks at us like were stupid if were not almost fluent. Very hard to understand. More homework than you would think is possible and NO clear basis for grading. Wish I could put more. If you don't believe me now you'll just believe me later, except with a D or F on your transcript. Good luck.

Just what everyone else said--She's very rude and insulting if you don't know the language, she's impossible to hear, and she grades hard.

If you have never taken Spanish do not take this class! You cannot understand a word she says, she makes you participate no matter what, she didn't come to class for a month and more than half the class withdrew.

I am about to drop her class now. DO NOT take her! The only way you can pass is if you were fluent in Spanish beforehand. It is ridiculous that this class which is elementary Spanish 1 is harder than my anatomy and physiology 2 class! She expects you to just know how to from complete sentences with words you never used before. AVOID AT ALL COST!

I'm not sure how to pass her class. She doesn't teach anything but expect you to know spanish fluently. I didn't do well in the first half and was expecting to pull through so I didn't drop. I tried my hardest to pull my grade up but she doesn't grade anything after midterm. So she doesn't know if I did well or not because I received a F for final

Had to drop her class she is hard to understand and gives no guidance in class, she would stand up in the front ask if we had any questions from connect. Her english is pretty poor and her voice is quiet and she can be very rude at times. I've great experiences with other Spanish teachers just not Escobar.

She is terrible. you cant understand anything she says because she talked so low and her accent is terrible. her quizzes are nothing like she says they are and be prepared to study and memorize the Spanish alphabet. she jumps from topic to topic . Its just terrible.

If you have never taken a Spanish class before do not take her! She does not teach you anything. You will have to teach yourself. She reads out of the book and you can never understand what she is saying.. So, if you do not know Spanish already I would not take this class.

This professor has been one of my least favorites at SLU. She's extremely illiterate with a computer so if you're in an online class like me, you're screwed. Majority of the assignments and tests just don't work and all she says is "contact technical support." SO HELPFUL. And the calendar given for due assignments is always incorrect so you miss it

Professor Luz has been the worse teacher i have ever had. plenty of students have problems passing. she doesn't grade your assignments if anything is incorrect, doesnt respond to emails, and very computer illiterate. she wants you to post a video of you speaking on youtube and write a paper after every chapter. I dont recommend.. TERRIBLE!

terrible teacher

Took online, there were a few assignments at first then nothing for like a month. I figured it was just the class then she emailed out that she updated grades and I got a 0 on 7 major assignments. I emailed her and told her nothing ever showed up in my assignments, she called me a liar. I emailed her proof of this and she didn't care.

Worthless teacher. Doesn't teach. Told me this is a self-taught material class. Doesn't answer emails. At all. Hope she doesn't have tenure. I have no idea of what her expectations are. Do NOT take this teacher.

This class is difficult. You are expected to teach yourself most of the material. She reads out of the book a lot and does not give detailed lectures. You are on your own for the most part. I would not take this class again.

DO NOT TAKE HER!

Was told by prof that I was expected to teach myself the material but was never told what material to teach myself. I would finish assignments and she would delete them and upload new ones she wanted us to do instead with little to no communication that she had done this. Couldnt keep up with changing assigments and dropped the course.

I'm not even finished w/ her class yet, and it's utterly ridiculous what we have to go through. We have to stand up, say our full name and show our ID for a quiz. I took an online class so that I didn't HAVE to show my face. Also, she doesn't answer emails. We have to write a paper after every chapter. Do yourselves a favor, and not take her class

All of her tests/quizzes are in Spanish. So, If you're an English speaker that has no idea how to read Spanish, you will fail. Imagine studying for hours to get the quiz over with, only to take it, and realize you've never seen half of those words that are even ON the quiz. Hopefully, she realizes her class is terrible and changes it.

Dont take this woman you will not survive! At first I was hoping to work hard and earn an A however that didnt happen Im just grateful and lucky I passed which was a 60! Im just glad Ill never have to take her again!

I hated this class honestly its so discouraging. If you care about your grades and actually want to pass this is not the class for you. If youre not fluent in spanish do not take this class. Shes rude & doesnt care. Everything in this class is in Spanish. DO NOT TAKE HER.

worst professor ever. inconsiderate. rude. shows little respect & regard for students. avoid her

1. I got a 13.50 out of 15, but she put in a 0. So when I asked her, If I were misunderstanding something she basically lied to me, and said that she didnt download the grades yet. 2. She accused a girl w/ dyslexia of cheating bc she was reading the ?s. 3. She didnt put most of our grades in until 2 months later. Good luck if you get her!

She does not respond to any emails and you have to completely teach yourself.

Just dont take this class. She only teaches in Spanish, which can be impossible for some to grasp. I had to drop bc she decided halfway through the semester to completely remove a 100 point grade, resulting in everyones grade dropping like 30 pts. Her in-person class is unorganized and stressful, with everyone asking do you know whats going on?

I am fluent in Spanish and I am warning you not to take her. If I was solely an English speaker I would fail this course. Please consider another professor if you aren't fluent in Spanish. I struggle and Spanish is my first language. she is a tough grader and takes off points for anything. Very rude and disrespectful DO NOT TAKE HER!!

Terrible teacher, doesn't help at all, if you have to take this class online, good luck. I took Kunow and Pererya for Spanish 102 and 201 and they were extremely helpful, Escobar is truly the worst spanish teacher I have ever had in my entire school career.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!! She is probably the Worst professor at Southeastern. She acts like we should come into Spanish 101 knowing everything. Her instructions are in Spanish and she will not email you back, and when she does she has an attitude and speaks to you like you are dumb. Her test are way too advanced for being a 101 course.

(online class) (The sem isnt over so idk my final grade) I have taken 3 years of Spanish prior to this class. The homework's take forever quizzes and tests are only hard because she doesn't teach you. Everything you learn is out of the textbook(the whole textbook is in Spanish) IDK how she is still a teacher at this school tbh. Stay away from her.

Worst professor I have ever taken. Her exams and quizzes are way too hard for a 102 class, she expects you to basically be fluent. So rude. Homework takes forever! Please do not take her!

This was by far the hardest class I have taken at SLU. This course was online teach yourself class. There were grades that she put zeroes for when I completed work and when I emailed about it multiple times, she ignored me. EVERYTHING IS IN SPANISH, INCLUDING DIRECTIONS. If you struggle in foreign language, I do not recommend this class

No communication with students on what is expected. Not good with tech and makes it very dreadful for online classes. Tried once, never again.

Horrible professor. No communication with students. Would not recommend.

NEVER TAKE HER if you have to.this is a warning. I have failed her class multiple times because she genuinely does not know how to teach. She is terrible with communicating and does NOT care about her students at all. She doesnt know how to teach. I don't know why she hasn't been fired yet but this woman does not deserve a job teaching.

If you are a comm student just trying to get Spanish over with like me. this professor will not help with that in her emails and Moodle assignments you cant even understand what she typed because she used the wrong letter which is unprofessional. i feel she's too old to be controlling an online college Spanish course (no disrespect to her at all!)

Do.Not.Take. her online communication is simply not up to par for a 100% online course. There is little to no communication between her and students and with Canvas, no way to interact with other classmates. Course is hard to navigate and 100% self taught.

She has no communication with students. Tests are very hard. This is 100% a self-taught class. Do not expect any help from her whatsoever.

Just don't take her. Don't do it to yourself. She is a horrible teacher and she will not help you if you ask her for help. She is also not clear with her instructions.

I took Span 102 in person last semester and had an A and then took this class and didn't pass. Her quizzes uses webcam and you have no idea what is on them. I was out of power for a week and missed some assignments and she only let me make they up for partial credit. The final is was all written paragraph responses. Worst class and professor EVER!!

She is a very tough grader as the exams and quizzes are mostly fill in the blank. If you miss an accent or misspell a word on an exam or quiz, there is no partial credit, it's wrong. The homework, oral exams are easy bc you can references notes but quizzes + exams will be to your detriment because they count for most of your grade.

For online, her quizzes are graded very hard and are like 80% fill in the blanks with a lockdown browser and webcam. You have to teach yourself using the textbook since she has no lectures. She made us do an oral test interview at the end of the semester acting like she actually taught us when our GroupMe didn't even know if she was male or female.

Just don't do it to yourself. Don't. Imagine my surprise taking a beginner (emphasis on BEGINNER) Spanish course and having to try to teach myself Spanish from a textbook that is ENTIRELY in Spanish. I am a senior and somehow this is one of THE MOST DIFFICULT classes I've ever had to take in college. Expectations are way too high and she was rude.

Worst online class I've ever taken. She disappeared for like two weeks before finals, then appeared again when we had to contact the department. She would tell us about assignments we had to due but, gave us little to no time to prepare for them. For your sanity, choose another instructor because this one is not it at all.

The worst professor I have ever had. I self taught myself for a minimum of 2 hours a day, yet bombed every test. Very disappointing considering I was trying to learn the language and take on a minor. Her class discouraged me from doing so. Emailed her many times and she did respond, but did not offer any useful information. Does not teach at all!

Dr. Luz is very sweet, but her class was a nightmare. She would not respond to emails in a timely manner, and, when it came time for the oral interview, she asked me questions from 102. To her credit, she did apologize and give me full credit, but it was a pretty fitting end to the nightmare that was this course. None of us knew what we were doing.

Although this is an online class, she is very hard to get in touch with. She does not answer emails and this class was quite literally a nightmare. We had multiple occasions where she gave assignments with a due date but never gave the assignment itself. For our final she didn't give an access code so we were kicked out 20 minutes into it.
