If you really want to learn spanish, take this teacher. No room for errors!!!

Must do homework. Very energetic and expects a lot from students.

Sra. es muy simpatica!!!!!

Must go to class and do homerwork, other than that class isnt so bad

very easy do homework and study old quizzes 4 test, got an a

Very nice teacher, pay attention in class and do homework and you'll have an A. But she doesn't give extra credit and attendance counts toward your grade.

This is an easy class if you do your homework and study. She speaks Spanish the entire time but it helps you learn. She likes to give easy extra credit. =)

If you go to class and do the homework you will be fine. She is a good teacher and you make get tired of homework most nights before class but you will learn the material.

Don't let last name fool you, she is a native speaker and doesn't use English much. Long tests, tons of homework, but going to class and doing homework make an A possible.

SRA. M. IS A WOMDERFUL PROFESSOR, VERY HELPFUL & VERY FUNNY! GIVES A LOT OF WORK BUT IF U DO WORK SHEETS U WILL PASS WILL FLYING COLORS

Sr. Mahaffey is an great lady. She tries to make class exciting and interesting and does whatever it takes to make sure you understand. As long as you go to class (bc she takes attendence) and pay attention in class, it should be a breeze! Easy B, fairly easy A.

Okay people this is college, so what if she requires and EXPECTS that u actually do your homework and read the book. I'll admit it was a tough course but I have had much worse and much harder! Get over it! I learned a lot in there and it helped me when I went on to 1102. She's nice if u do the hw.

She's very anal on attendance and homework, but if you go and do the homework it's an easy A. Her tests were hard and make you think, there was a composition on almost every test. If you want to actually learn something take her. She offers lots of extra credit, like singing in class together to make it fun.

awful woman.

The class is very easy, especially if you took any Spanish in high school. But she should be teaching a middle school class, she gets offended if you don't participate and assigns tons of homework. Easy A, but no fun!

good teacher, easy class, especially if you had spanish in high school. just read the book, and do the hw in the workbook. the lab is not mandatory (you get the extra credit anyway), but it helps for the tests.

VERY EASY A!!! TAKE HERR

I took this class in the summer and yes, it is extremely challenging. I am also not the quickest of learners so I had to spend an average of 4-5 hours each day studying. There is an exam and a quiz each week so you if you want to do good you have to really study. She was always very nice to us though and she really wanted us to do well.

Very easy class if you took it in highschool. She assigns workbook pages to do for hw, and calls on you in class when going over them. She says to do the exercises online, but I never did. Just read over the material she assigns for hw and do the workbook and you should be fine. Her tests are easy if you study a little bit.

She is very nice and tries to help you understand as much as possible. The hardest thing about this class is that she doesn't speak any English, at all, so you always have to guess what she is teaching. Otherwise, fairly decent teacher and would recommend taking her.

Profesora Mahaffey lectures and in-class group activities. Workbook is not checked, and textbook is used in class. Very little, if any, homework.

If you genuinely enjoy learning spanish, dont take her. If you just want to get it over with and make an A, shes your best bet. I made a 96 in this class during HS, so it was a total joke for me in her class. I didnt like that she doesnt correct you if you make mistakes while speaking. even if its a big mistake. she seems to not enjoy teaching.

50% of course work is online. Online work is difficult. Class sessions focus on using what you learned. Puts out a study guide for tests but tests not too bad. Cumulative final. Nice lady. You have to work for a good grade.

Great professor- really cares for each of her students and wants everyone to do well. Yes she does talk in Spanish most of the time but this is a Spanish class and the best way to learn is to be surrounded by Spanish. Not a hard grader at all, gives extra credit, lots of online homework but doable. Really liked her and would take again. Recommend!

loved her! Spoke spanish in class (this is a spanish class people!) More than willing ot help with hw or anything outside of class. Most the homework was due before class and then we would go over it which was a little frusterating but Most is review from other spanish classes. Lots of online hw, always extra credit on exams. Recommened! :)Muy bien

Only allowed to miss 3 classes or she'll fail you, Must summarize every chapter out of the text (graded),Online quizzes fairly difficult/timed, but straight from text,She uses ppts that aren't her own,Lots of busywork and short answer hw from pdfs,She is helpful when writing papers, and will go over it word for word with you,Study guides for tests.

I loved this class! She is not an easy teacher but she is helpful if you need her. She speaks nothing but Spanish but this is only to help her students, how else do you expect to learn Spanish if you are not immersed in it? IF you are lazy don't take her but if you work hard and focus you will easily get an A or B

If you are confident in your Spanish speaking/writing abilities this is the class for you. If not, seek out another professor, because she is very serious!

Professor Mahaffey is absolutely amazing. She is the sweetest, cutest lady. Class is fun, so you might as well go since attendance is mandatory. Most of my classmates had a pretty good foundation of spanish already, and for that reason it was very easy. But if you are just starting out, this may be hard for you. assignments are online and easy.

online class really easy !. wouldve made an A but i missed one quiz. assignments are due sundays. work consists of fill in the blanks, crosswords and answering questions about passages in spanish. 4 quizzes . final was in person but it was made up of questions from the online assignments and quizzes. EASY A

Loved her! She was a very interesting professor and very nice! I speak fluent Spanish so the class was pretty easy for me! However, I enjoyed this class and learned a lot of cultural things I did not know before! She is very clear in what she expects from you and there are chances for extra points on tests sometimes! Not a hard prof at all!

All online except final. Your homework & quizzes are worth 60% of your grade. You get unlimited attempts on homework, so there is no reason you'd get any lower than 100%. Quizzes are the exact questions from the homework. The final is worth 40%, and is the ONLY time you will need to be on campus for the class. Study for the final and its an EASY A!

After not having taken spanish for a year and then coming into this class, I found it very easy. The online work takes a while but is very manageable and easy as long as you don't procrastinate. Not going to class will kill your grade!!!! Tests, quizzes & compositions are all easy and she is a good teacher.

I took this class during the Summer as a condensed class and I got a B, if you follow the syllabus you can get a B or higher. She was very helpful and there was 2 different places to get tutoring if you need it.

Easy. 9 assignments/week: 3 crosswords, 3 fill in the blank, 3 multiple choice quizzes. Says work should take 16-24 hrs/wk, I spent maybe an hour on all 9 each week. Quizzes are multiple choice questions, you read 1-3 sentences (in Spanish) and question is English . Copy and paste questions into Translate. Class is in English except for passages.

Love Maria shes a great professor who genuinely cares about her students, and her Spanish is very easy to understand as far as dialects go.

I've had her fro 2201,2202, and 3202. Personally I love her. She sometimes gets bad reviews because she works hard to make you learn the language. Since a lot of time people take lower levels for easy A's, I wouldn't recommend her for this. She does speak Spanish (expects you to as well) As are not impossible but you won't just show up and get one.

Took this class online be prepared to dedicate time to doing the work. Weekly assignments, 4 quizzes, and a final exam. It's taught in English which makes it easier. Highly recommend if you're needing an upper level Spanish!

Easy online Spanish class

She is a very understanding professor and makes class time interesting. You do have to participate and go to class in order to understand the material because learning from just the textbook and homework is difficult. She does mostly speak in spanish, but coming from a non-spanish speaker, it helps me better understand the spanish language.

I took this course asynchronously. Most work was on portales, due twice a week, plus three exams on canvas & three boomalang conversations. The announcements she posts are almost entirely in Spanish, her grading is a little on the harder side but overall pretty fair. I was never accused of cheating and google is my bestie.

Really caring professor. She offers extra credit if you go to some events hosted by the Spanish/Latin clubs. She is pretty funny and makes the class discussion-based. As someone who is not good at learning languages, she made me feel comfortable. Just be prepared to do the McGrawHill assignments multiple times a week. Had around 5-6 exams.

Prof. Mahaffey is one of the most caring and understanding instructors at UNCC. She assigns a TON of homework, but it is the only way to learn Spanish effectively. Many assignments are online, but some are handwritten, so be prepared to write quite a bit. If you come to class, actively try to learn, and do your homework, you'll be fine.

Prof. Mahaffey's class has a lot of homework, but it's essential for learning Spanish effectively. Attend class, engage actively, and use tools like unstuck study to prep - you'll do well.

Mrs. Mahaffey is a kind and fun professor. There's alot of homework towards the beginning, and it felt like there were tons of presentations. I was picked for the 1st group for every presentation, which I felt was a little unfair as I had less time to prepare than others. She was really nice but the work is hard, so be prepared.
