She's a nice teacher don't get me wrong, but that's about all. Her class is very hard, if u were to walk in you would think it was a level 200 class or higher. It's hard to understand her and she expects you to know alot more then you actually do. She's somewhat helpful but it's not enough, Spanish fluent speakers have trouble, that's saying alot.

embarrassed a classmate for their learning disability, continuously ran class for an hr longer than scheduled, BAD grading + teaching, she sneakily alters due dates 2 be sooner, u end up with 50 hw hours on ONE website thats worth 10%. and you WILL have to do about 3x more work than just that, doesnt respond to email or offer help without attitude.

Sarria is an excellent teacher who truly cares about her students. She always is available and offered extra help, makes the class interesting and exciting. She wants her students to do well in the course and is a caring and kind individual. She is one of the best Spanish teachers I have had throughout my high school and college experience.

by the end of this course i had 50 hours logged on a homework website that was only worth 10% and was only outside of class work. idk how else to illustrate that she expects spanish class to be your life. this class made me miserable for a whole semester. had nightmares about her. TERRIBLY nasty rude attitude and barley teaches.

Professor Sarria was an amazing professor of mine. Very energetic, very enthusiastic, and patient with her students. She tries to incorporate all students during class and encourages people to participate. The class itself is really easy as long as you show up, try your best.

I LOVE Profesora Sarria. She was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad I took her, as I also recommended her to many of my friends. She is a very caring and loving professor. There is a lot of online homework but it's nothing crazy. It gives an expected time for how long it might take of like 1h 54min but it wont take you nearly as long.

She was very unorganized the entire semester and not very understanding when people would ask her questions in class. She was rarely ever accessible outside of class and she's very passive aggressive when you do have questions. Overall, she IS a sweetheart, but sometimes comes off very rude.

Sarria is amazing, she is very passionate about what she teaches and it is easy to tell she loves her job. She was always super excited and happy to be teaching, she never made me or even the class feel stupid if we did not know something. She was always wanting us to mess up because she says we learn best from that. I appreciated her very much.

Senora Sarria is an inspiring and engaging professor. She is good at explaining things in a way that makes sense and using relevant examples to make class more interesting. I love the number of interactive activities that she prepares for the class. MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR AT SCSU!

She is a sweetheart one-on-one but tends to call students out inappropriately. She gets very defensive, even asking the students for constructive criticism and not listening to the responses she gets. Not very organized with telling you if we have class, or what assignments are due when. Expected us to work in groups for a project with minimal time

Professor Sarria is absolutely amazing! She is fair to all of her students. She is by far my favorite professor that I have here. She is always available through email or after class and communicates effectively with us. She makes even the lecture style classes engaging.

Professor Sarria is the best professor I have ever had. She makes everyone in the class want to learn spanish and excited about class. Starting this class I was very nervous about my level of spanish but Sarria made me so comfortable and I am now so excited to continue on with my spanish minor.
