I took her class a few years ago. She has provided me with a strong base to develop my foreign language skills. Her outstanding method of teaching allows for the student to easily follow her through the course material. Mrs. Ecsedy not only a remarkable professor but, is sincerely concerned with her students.
Mrs Nagy was one of the best instructors I've ever had. Really caring and takes up time with you to make sure you understand. So easy to get a good grade and she's hilarious!
Professor Nagy really wants her students to pass. She is coming up with fun ways to learn Spanish and promotes us to study with each other outside of class. Helps us with our grammar, helps with HW, just generally a good teacher! Don't miss class, and pay attention, you should pass. Accessible for hours before class for study groups and stuff.
She is an awesome professor. I took a 10 week course she really works with you to make sure you understand the material. You must study and take good notes and the attendance is important!!!!!
This professor was really helpful. She took at least two hours every day to help and tutor before class. She also stayed late after class and made it really fun and easy to learn the material. She is absolutely amazing and i am already signed up for next semester. If you miss class she will find a way to get notes to you. Outstanding!!!!
This is one of my best professors, Professor Monika Nagy is amazing. She was patient and very responsive to all of my questions. This professor really cares about her students and she genuinely wants us to learn and pass her classes. I will try to my best to get her back for my next Spanish class. She grades fairly and gives adequate homework.
She is the best Spanish teacher I've had in a while, very professional and caring. She gives great assistance to her students and always provides good feed back. I highly recommend her for future Spanish students.
Professor Nagy is a wonderful and caring professor. I enjoy her class so much. I am taking on line, she gives pizza for her students. And she is always ready to help. Every time I call her she makes me feel special.
Prof Nagy truly loves to teach. She is not only helpful but understanding. I was in the process of moving when I took this class online and she kept in touch with me every step of the way. She wants you to succeed and gives you all the tools to do so. It's up to the student to put in their part and without a doubt you will pass.
Professor Nagy is an understanding professor. She is sweet, caring, and really tries her best to make sure that her students pass. Her courses are fast-paced, but it is well worth it because she really does everything she can to assist. I would definitely recommend her. She is personal and really forms a good bond with her students.
Professor Nagy is amazing ! She wants her students to pass! She teaches you good ways to study ! Easy A do your work and show up to class you will pass.
Professor Nagy was great! She is a sweet woman and teaches you skills that go far beyond Spanish, skills you can take with you to other classes throughout college. She helps you in every way she can so you can get a good grade. Expect to write a lot, in Spanish, but don't let that scare you. She helps you every step of the way. Highly recommend!
Professor Nagy is one of nicest professor youll ever met and she motivates you to be able to do the work. She cares about her students and wants everyone to pass her class and learn. The lessons were little difficult but she makes it easy and youll able learn as long as you dont miss a class youll be alright! She teaches material on the test.
Prof Nagy is an amazing & inspirational. She really shows charisma towards her students & teaches how to better organize your life as a student to be successful in all a student wants to pursue. Prof Nagy replies to emails the same day you reach out to her & also corrects the essay assignments you email to her the same day. Highly recommend her!
Professor Nagy not only taught me a lot about myself, but Spanish as well! She is extremely caring, always available to help (make sure to attend her office hours), and pushes all her students to their full potential. As long as you attend class, do all assignments, and study you will pass this course! And not to mention she is HILARIOUS!!!!
The professor was every engaging and accessible. You must pay attention in class, the professor will expect you to retain the information from the previous lesson.
Professor Nagy exemplifies what a caring and passionate teachers should be. Her love for educating and helping her students is very clear in the time and effort that she sets forth in her lectures and in her interactions with her pupils. She expects and demands excellence from the class and if you are willing to work she is the perfect teacher.
Professor Nagy truly cares about her students and wants them to earn an A. She is very accessible and is willing to tutor if you don't understand something. One of the best professors that I've ever had
Basically you know what youre getting inot by the end of the first week. What you see is what you get: she will teach you spanish. You need to bother to learn what she teaches. Failing that you WILL NOT PASS. However, if you work at it she'll show you the world.
Take her!!!! Shes the best
Professor Monika Ecsedy Nagy is the absolute best. She teaches her students from the perspective of learning sentences. It is like working backwards to get back to Spanish words and their various forms. You will pass Spanish one if you take her. Trust Me. She loves all of her students. God speed!!!!!
Professor Nagy creates an atmosphere of community in her class. Everyone helps everyone else succeed but this does not mean you can slack off and hope to do well. Several 2-3 page essays in Spanish are assigned, but if you work from day one to learn they become simple tasks. If I needed to take a language class I would Take her in a heartbeat.
I love her! Take her she is an amazing teacher, you just have to put work in. I am taking her for Spanish 2.
Professor Nagy is GREAT to take for spanish 1 & or 2. She is a very caring professor who will push you to your full potential but you have to be willing to put in the extra time outside of class. You will pass & understand spanish fluently if you take her. You will not regret it. She is very paitent & understanding. She is the BEST!
I took her for elementary Spanish and I plan to take her for the next level, too. She really cares about making sure all the students learn, and while her class isn't something you can get through without studying, she makes the content as easy as possible to absorb. She not only teaches the language, but also how to learn in general. Love her!
I was nervous before taking this class but soon realized that Professor Nagy cares about her students. A foreign language is not easy but the professor is always there to help. She always returns your messages when you message her. As long as you study for your exams you should not have a problem with passing them.
Professor Nagy is the best Spanish teacher ever. She is very kind and cares for her student.
I decided to take this course after having Monika as a sub for Spanish 1, she was a million times better than that classes profesor. I am now taking her for Spanish 2 and she is amazing! She cares about her students, gives great feedback. If you show up to class and put in some effort studying then there is no way that you won't pass. Best teacher!
Professor Nagy shows great care towards her students. She's understanding and very fair. Also very accomodating towards her students. Her style of instruction is write a lot and everything will fall into place. Which it incredibly does. You'll be speaking, writing, and understanding Spanish in a matter of weeks. Show up to class ready to learn!
Professor Nagy was wonderful. Her teaching style is very European but VERY helpful when it came to techniques to help with learning more and learning quicker. She is caring, hard working and always makes time to help her students in any way possible.
Amazing Professor
Such a wonderful professor for Elementary Spanish 1 that I am taking her AGAIN for Spanish 2. If you can show up to every class then she will work with you as long as you care aswell to do well in the class. She makes sure you take notes in a way that you remember what is taught and that to me is appreciated. Not a lot of notes so its easy to remem
Shes an amazing teacher. She helps so much teaching Spanish. Even if I already knew a bit of Spanish she helped me better refine it. Definitely recommend to others
I love this professor. She is easy going, very friendly, and loves her students. Shes has a passion for teaching and makes the subject very easy to understand.
She is a great teacher who really cares about her students. She teaches us what I need to know and helps me get something I couldn't understand.
Shes an amazing teacher. Its an easy class to pass because of her teaching style, you just have to study. Shes also very helpful and will meet you outside of class to study
Ms. Nagy is an amazing teacher. She is so loving and caring and loves to teach. She will do anything in order for the students to comprehend the material. I would take her again!
helpful
TAKE HER! TAKE HER! TAKE HER! Professor Nagy is the best professor I have ever had! Her teaching methods allow for anyone to succeed! The department should be learning how to teach from her! I wished I had taken her for Spanish I. DO NOT even look to take another professor for Spanish! She is a rare gem and one of very few that care!
Best professor Ive had in Valencia.
Professor Nagy is one of the best professors I have ever taken. She not only teaches Spanish, but learning techniques that are extremely beneficial. She is an amazing professor or more like an amazing coach! She ensures her students understand what she teaches. I hope to take her for SPN 1121. Do yourself a favor and TAKE HER! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Professor Nagy cares about her students. Spanish 2 is hard but she helps you to understand so that you will do well on your tests and online homework. Using the Cornell notes helps with learning Spanish. I would recommend this professor because she wants you to learn and understand Spanish. She will even help after class.
I took SPN1 online and didn't like it, so I took SPN2 on campus. What a difference. Prof. Nagy really cares that her students are learning the material. It's a lot of work, but she makes it fun and is very clear about her grading criteria. I would definitely recommend her class!
I took her class in the spring and I also took her Spanish 1 class a year ago and shes been an amazing teacher both times. She answers everyones questions and teaches us the language we would use everyday. The class is also easy, you just have to study for your tests and copy everything from the board.
Prof Nagy is amazing. She's absolutely invested in her students and her teaching style ensures you will exit the class speaking, reading, and writing in Spanish. She teaches you how to logically make sense of Spanish. Put in the effort and you will pass. I drive an hour out of my way to take her class and it's worth it. Her method WORKS!
You can clearly see that Professor Nagy is devoted to the successes and accomplishments of her students. Unlike other Spanish teachers, Prof. Nagy utilizes a myriad of different learning methods in order for her students to understand the language. She uses methods that encourage logical learning so that her students can retain the information.
I have seen many professors and teachers in my life but I have to say Professor Nagy is one of the best professors Ive met. She genuinely cares for her students, she is very inspirational, highly respected and very caring of those around her. I would most definitely take her class again if I have the chance too.
Best teacher ever
I loved it she is awesome
Professor Nagy teaches in an excellent way, she's able to teach you a lot! in just about 4 weeks. Very understanding and loving teacher, who cares if you actually learn. The tests are relatively easy if you study for them.
Great professor. You actually learn! Definitely taking her again for spanish 2 !!
Professor Nagy has a rare gift. Her teaching style and techniques helped to grasp and memorize difficult material with ease. My 1st language is not english, therefore I took the course with great hestitation of getting an A or B, but within 2 weeks I already knew how to greet, introduce and tell a little about myself in spanish. Take her :)
Mrs. Nagy is the most caring professor I have ever met. She believes in making sure her students understand what she is teaching. She will open her doors up to you at anytime. She provides extra credit and she is very funny. I respect her to the fullest. Take her you wont be disappointed.
The best prof I have had. I know people that have taken 4 yrs of Spanish & cant form a sentence. She teaches in a way that doesn't make you memorize just to pass tests, helps memorize by using association so you remember long term. Genuinely wants her students to succeed. Lots of extra credit. If you study & listen to her methods you will get an A
If you are looking for the best Spanish Professor , look no further because shes at Valencia College West campus. Her name is Professor M. Nagy. She has a unique way of teaching. Her purpose is not only to teach her students Spanish but to make sure they would not forget it once the semester is over. (connie)
The most helpful, caring, amazing profesor youll ever meet! She actually cares about your grades and is soooooo helpful ! Im taking her spanish 2 and if I could I would choose for all classes. the way she teaches is great her methods are great !! TAKE HER !!!!
Professor Nagy makes learning a new language an easy thing to do! She uses a practical method of teaching since she herself had to learn 3 languages and she knows how difficult it can be to learn a language. Thanks to her, I understand Spanish much better and I can write a Spanish essay from just knowing nothing. I hope to take her for SPN 1121.
She is amazing you guys! I wish she taught all of my classes. Her teaching style is unmatchable, she wants you to succeed in her class she will do everything to make sure you get an A. You wont regret taking her I promise. She is the only few teachers that is really willing to work with you to make sure you make it.
Professor Nagy is amazing! She is by far one of my favorite Professors. Shes very caring about her students. She wants you to succeed in this class. I will be taking her again for SPN1121
She helped us with different techniques to memorize a lot of information.
This is honestly one of the BEST professors I have ever taken. Unless you dont come to class or just dont care about this class, its nearly impossible to fail her. This is my first time leaving a review on RMP only because she is that amazing of a teacher. If you need a spanish credit she is the best choice! Helps you with whats on the test etc.
She is a wonderful teacher who really cares about her students! I admire her and her journey to this place in her life! If you want to learn the language and have fun then take this coursework.
Prof. Nagy is a great professor. She teaches in a way that makes Spanish very easy to understand. That being said, do your best to not miss a class. A lot is covered per class period and it can be a little difficult to catch up once you've missed one. There are a few tests, two compositions for the midterm and final, and an oral final at the end.
Professor Nagy is an amazing professor that I would highly recommend for anyone that wants to or needs to take a Spanish class. Study what she asks you to and keep track of where you are in the class and I guarantee you will pass. She really wants all of her students to pass and she supports them as best she can.
This is the best Spanish teacher teacher around. She said never leaves you in the dark when it come to comprehending the coursework. Highly recommend!
Professor Nagy is a professor who actually teaches her material and have a god knowledge of the material. She teaches what you need to know without excessive work. Shes caring and a sweet person. This is your best choice for this class. Pay attention, do the homework and youll have an A
An amazing professor who's not only knowledgeable but caring as well. If you're willing to put in the work, practice the material she writes down, and show up for class on time, you'll be fine. She genuinely wants her students to succeed, but the class can still be difficult if you miss too many classes, so be aware.
I took both Spanish 1 and 2 with her. She is truly a fantastic intructor who genuinely cares about students. I thought learning a new language in such a short time would be challenging. However, I can now read, write and speak more in Spanish. She teaches ways to learn and memorize material that not only helped in Spanish but also for other classes
Prof. Nagy is a very kind and caring teacher. She teaches Spanish in a style that is very unique and useful. She gives you feedback and will make you learn what you need to learn. I enjoyed going to class and loved listening to her stories and lectures. She teaches you stuff that pertains to your life.
Professor Nagy is one of the few professors that I've taken, that truly cares about her students. She is willing to work with students to ensure that they really understand the material and are well prepared for the tests, I would recommend her to everyone who needs to take Spanish.
Honestly an amazing teacher I went into the class not having been in a Spanish class for 11 years and by the end of the class I can have full conversations . I can honestly rave about her all day. Attendance is extremely important although not mandatory.
She is honestly a very nice person in general. She cares deeply about the student not only on your knowledge, but about your well-being. Homework is honestly not that bad, and she always makes she every student understand the criteria. She is a teacher who doesn't care about the paycheck but her students.
She is a great professor. I took her for both Spanish 1 and 2. She cares more than most and is great at her job. I definitely recommend to anyone who has to take Spanish.
She is such a wonderful teacher I will admit you have to get over her accent but shes from Europe & her teaching style is totally different & it WORKS! You do have to study REPETITION is key. Her essays may sound hard but honestly are easy if your consistent & each test you just add on. Keep it simple. She will stay & help you out @ ANY TIME
Her teaching skill was so good I took her for Spanish 2 IN THE SUMMER! Her tests may seem hard but if you focus & go home & study what you learned your Gucci. She also has online HW but its only worth 10% of you grade so you dont have to buy the online code. Will meet you out side of class. If you cant make exam TALK TO HER VERY UNDERSTANDABLE
Professor Nagy is a great teacher. I actually retained a lot of information for class and I now use it at work with native speakers. The class work is necessary. It is important to participate in class, as well. The more mistakes you allow yourself to make the better you'll learn. I took this in HS and it was okay, but w/ Nagy I did great.
Professor Nagy was a great professor for me this semester. She actually took her time to explain the material to me and my fellow classmates. She loves her students so much and wants them to succeed in life. If I can, I would take this class again. This was a easy class. I got a A+
Great teacher !
Professor Nagy is a GEM!!!! She is an extremely awesome teacher/coach. She makes learning a new language so much fun. I wish I could take her for all my classes. She cares about her students dearly and looks out for their best interest. If you want to do well in Spanish (both I and II), do yourself a favor and take her.
Ms. Nagy is the best teacher you can possibly have. She is the most loving, sweet, and caring professor ever. She cares so much about her students learning the material and will do anything in order to help you. You won't regret taking her!
Prof. Nagy is one of the best professors I have ever had! Learning a language can be hard, but she has made it so much fun! Since we have moved online due to the Corona Virus, she has mad an incredibly smooth transition for us. Her zoom meetings arent mandatory, but are super fun and she gives amazing feedback! I love her SO much (: TAKE HER!!!!!
This professor goes above and beyond to make sure that you learn the material. You can ask questions and get response back quickly. She actually explains the why's and why not's. She doesn't just tell you it's wrong, she actually helps you understand and learn from your mistakes. The best instructor that I've had a Valencia.
She is amazing! Profesora will try eveything in her power to make sure you pass this class. Pleassseee take her for Spanish. I tried taking Spanish with another professor and I ended dropping out of that class but when I found professor Nagy it was great she made it extremely simple and easy for you to understand.
Professor Nagy is not only the best Spanish instructor you could ever have but also one of the best instructors I've ever had! She really cares about each and every one of her students and wants the best for all of them. She will guide you through what you need to do and if you listen you'll do great! She's the person you should pick for Spanish!
Profesor Nagy was an amazing teacher. She teaches what you need to know to pass her class. If you do not read the material she provides you will not pass. We started this class off face to face on campus and ended it on online. I thought I was going to be difficult but the zoom meetings were just like being in class! THE BEST TEACHER!!!!!!
Professor Nagy is an excellent professor. I learned how to speak, write and read in Spanish. She will teach you the essential however you need to pay attention, write notes and study. Even when we switched to online class, the professor manage the communication pretty well. She's great and for sure you'll learn a lot!
Our classroom was moved to zoom and she made feel like we were still in the classroom.
Professor Nagy is one of the absolute best college teachers around. The work in the class might hard but she is willing to work until you understand the material. Unlike most professors, she is accessible outside of the classroom. Her class is a great environment for learning and her class is a 10/10 recommendation.
Profesora Nagy is kind person and understand students. In spring semester, due to the COVID-19 the class changed to online. At first, I though it will be difficult and complicating, but profesor Nagy helped students. We had class T and R so we met on Zoom and she explained everything on the board. I will recommend her to everyone.
This is the most caring professor you will find. She breaks things down super simple and WILL help you in anyway she can.
I see her passion for teaching. She's always available when you need her. Although challenging, I liked that her tests prepared me to use Spanish in the real world. I've learned more in this class than most other classes. I mean come one I can write an essay in Spanish! I go to UCF and come all the way to Valencia just for her.
Because of COVID-19 we had to switch to online. She utilized Zoom and bought a whiteboard just to teach us. I was very grateful for that. Her class is easy as long as you do the work. Take her!
SPN 1121 was a fun and enjoyable class. It would appear difficult, but the professor is understanding, nice, and gives us an enjoyable experience. The class participations were a great way to learn. It helps out. When we have to submit sentences and essays, she gives us helpful feedback so we can learn from our mistakes. The class is worth it.
This is my second semester taking professor Nagys class and I have to say she is one of most caring person youll ever meet. She cares for all of her students and makes sure we all pass. I definitely recommend her because she is the best one there. 11/10 rating
Professor Nagy is the best! I have gotten to experience her teaching in person (1120) and in person/online (1121). Which are both are amazing! Her grading is fair and office hours are fantastic! She works with each student, no matter how you learn she will help you! She not only teaches you Spanish but helps you apply it toward your everyday life!
YOU WILL LEARN with this professor. You will not get lost in the notes. She makes the extra effort to schedule zoom meetings with her students to discuss each lesson. She is easily accessible if you have any questions about coursework. However, you will have to make the effort to do assignments. She made learning the language fun and unforgettable
She was very helpful and easy to communicate any issues. Definitely wants everyone to learn in her class and does what she can to help you pass. You still have to do your work but she will help you as much as she can to pass.
I've known this professor for a year. She's one of the best, if not, the best professor at Valencia. I've taken her in person class for SPN 1101 & her zoom SPN 1102 class, the zoom class helped a lot to learn Spanish. Professor Nagy teaches you for the test, and doesn't trick you on them. You'll be prepared. She wants u to pass and cares, take her!
Professor Nagy is the absolute best! She is one of the BEST professors I've had at Valencia. Shes caring and so understanding. Make sure you take time out to study on your own! She teaches very well but you have to work for it. You will learn alot, participate in class and again, study. Took for SPN 1 & 2 & passed w/o any knowlege! Take Her !!
Professor Monika Nagy is the best! She is a person who takes time with her students and cares for them very much. She is a person who has helped me in this class because of my difficulty to learn spanish. She offers a one-on-one, she orchestrates a zoom class with blackboard notes and provides feedback whenever you need it. THIS is the Professor
This professor is awesome! I took her in SPN 1120 and got an A, and again in SPN 1121 and got an A. The class is not easy but she will work with you and make sure that you pass with an A.
Professor Nagy is amazing! Was nervous going into this class during quarantine, due to it being 100% online, however she made the class a breeze with her meetings on Zoom. 10/10 would recommend either in person OR online!
Amazing professor super cute cares about her students demands effort decent amount of homework real world Spanish & learning. Amazing all around
This is the best professor you can take at Valencia! She is the sweetest, most caring lady ever. She really does want the best for her students and will do anything to help! She is very accessible via text or phone call. We have zoom classes every Tuesday and Thursday which are optional by very helpful. She is great and would totally recommend!
Great Spanish professor, if you need to take this course whether it be for a required credit or not, it is well worth your time especially with Senora Nagy.
She is super sweet and tells you what exactly to read. Her tests are not hard if you study.
Professora Nagy was very nice and caring and really wants all of her students to do well. She will help you learn and understand the material but you have to put in the work and study! If you don't study and practice you will not pass this class. If I had to take more Spanish classes I would only sign up for her class.
Great Professor. The class will not be hard IF you follow her rubrics do the VHL thats assigned every Sunday and attend her zoom sessions(optional) She do test reviews on zoom VERY helpful. Mid term and final was not hard at all because I participated and worked on both throughout the semester I received an A on both. I was nervous for no reason.
While attendance is not mandatory, Prof. Nagy has Zoom meetings twice weekly. These Zoom meetings are extremely helpful with understanding the content and concepts, which could otherwise be challenging to understand If you were to try to go it alone.
I took her for elementary spanish 1 as well. She has Zoom meetings every Tuesdays and Thursdays, they are not mandatory, but a necessity in order to pass the class.
Shes real gem; she actually cares about her students and wants the best for them. Professor Nagy is available outside of class if you her help with the grammar you have to learn. The pace starts to move fast after week so try not to skip on any of the lectures.
Professor Nagy was an incredible professor. She had twice weekly zoom meetings that were not mandatory but so helpful. She was quick to respond and really wanted to help her students get the best possible grades.
Great professor. Prepares you for any assignments through weekly meetings. Nothing will be a surprise as long as you do all the work she assigns and attend the weekly meetings. She is readily available after or before class at a reasonable hour. It's not given but if you put in the effort she will make it possible and help where you're struggling
The classes are not mandatory but they are a clear path to an A. I was only able to logon Tuesday's and missed almost all the Thrusday's due to work, but was able to get an A. Do not think that the classes don't matter. The 4 students that never logged on all failed. Also, do not fall behing on the book work. It also is super easy.
I struggle a lot with learning online, but professor Nagy went out of her way to stop me from giving up and I passed with a B! She gave great zoom lectures and made sure we understood the material. She will give you as much help as you need and long as you are putting your best effort into the work. She wants you to learn and helps everyone.
It wasn't really easy but you learn a lot and with tutors it's very manageable. She is an amazing teacher and person!
THE BEST SPANISH PROFESSOR EVER! She is so sweet and nice. However, we have to work for our grade and if she sees that you're really trying, she will help you out. Zoom lectures arent mandatory but participating and joining helps a lot with the tests.
Great professor. Will be taking her again for Spanish 2. She works with you in anything you need if you communicate with her. She makes it clear that she cares about you passing the class.
The best Spanish professor!! Making sure to take her again for Spanish 2. You learn real world Spanish and she is very understanding for grades BUT you have to put in the work! This is not a freebie class, you have to show that you know the material.
I love Professor Nagy! If you're looking for a great Spanish professor, I promise she is the best. I've taken her for two semesters straight for Spanish 1 and 2. She is so caring and understanding; However, understanding material is important. Trust me, she wants to give you an A. Help her make it possible for you to pass! Overall, I loved class.
Professor Monika Nagy is an excellent Spanish teacher. I have taken her for Spanish I and Spanish II and she is a very caring person who will see you through to the end. She makes sure you understand and makes herself available for any questions you may have. But get this, "I'm her favorite", so for all of you that think you're it, forget it-LOL
Professor Monika Nagy is an excellent Spanish teacher; she loves her students, but you do have to study. Follow the test preps on canvas, it is similar to the test. Go to zoom to understand the material; classes are held Tues & Thurs nights. She has tutors to review hm-wk & you can practice w/classmates. It's not easy but she helps you understand.
I took Spanish 1 online with Professor Nagy and did well in her class. I definitely recommend attending her Zoom meetings, which are optional, but very helpful. They were Tuesday and Thursday nights for me. She is very caring of her students and wants everyone to do well. However, you do need to put in the work. I would recommend her to anybody.
I took her Elementary Spanish I class fall of 2020 & absolutely loved it! I am taking her class again for Elementary Spanish II. VHL is used for homework & she has zoom meetings twice a week for lectures and if you have questions. She is extremely sweet & will help you if you need it. Oral and written final. Study and you will get a good grade!
Prof Nagy is so willing to work with all of her students, she takes time for specific students that need help and also provides zoom lectures to review for the homework and exams. The class is not an easy A but with Prof Nagy she will help you and gives great feedback so you can reach that A.
Prof Nagy is awesome! I had another teacher for Spanish 1 that had 5 times more assignments, I'm so glad I took Nagy for Spanish 2. In zoom class she teaches you everything. Homework in VHL, 5 tests, midterm, final, and culture essay in English. Midterm&final are written and oral. She's really accessible & cares about all her students, take her!
Any second language class is hard to learn. However, if you attend classes, follow the material she provides, study, do all the homework and tests, you can earn a really good grade. She actually cares about her students and tries hard to make sure that everyone understands everything in order to do well and succeed.
Professor Nagy is very caring. She makes herself available to answer all questions whether in class or outside of class. She encourages and motivates giving tips on how to study so we can get the best out of our study time. She is specific in her teaching necessary points are highlighted in her instruction which really helps when studying.
If it wasn't because she actually cares about our success as students, I don't think I wouldv'e passed this course. I went into this course mentally prepared to struggle, though the material was challenging Prof. Nagy went over EVERYTHING to ensure we understood. I wish we had more professors like her.
This is my second-semester taking Professor Nagy and she is AMAZING! Your grade is dependent on the tests but study and you will get an A. There is also weekly homework in VHL but is pretty simple, just set the time to do it. I have learned so much from this class and would take it again! RECOMMEND!!!
There are so many good things that I can Say about Prof. Nagy, but she is as genuine as they get. When you attend class she really make you feel how much she cares about each student. She once told us about how there are students that do not attend class and are failing. These are students that do not attend and she was visably hurt. She's awesome!
She is great and she lays out the class very well for her students
Professor Monika Nagy grate person. She knows her stuff when it comes to Spanish. You can see her passion and her love for the student's . She is available before and after classes. This class is not easy but she let use know that and say's you are not alone I am her to help you through that. I would take this class agin with her.
Great professor. Study her study guides and you will pass the class.
Definitely take her for Spanish. She's very accessible outside and in class and gives good lessons that will stick with you throughout the class.
Awesome professor. She makes the content very understandable and her classes are fun and full of information. I definitely recommend. DR
Professor Nagy is dedicated to the successes and accomplishments of every student in her class. Professor Nagy utilizes several different learning techniques in order for all of her students to understand the Spanish language. She uses different approaches that inspire consistent learning so that all of her students can preserve the information
Professor Nagy is a wonderful teacher/professor. She is very thorough in providing you guidance on how to navigate this course. I would absolutely take another class from professor Nagy! Outstanding!!
Best professor
Prof Nagy is the most caring professor Ive ever met at Valencia. Her teaching style is different, interesting, and rewarding. I highly recommend taking Bothe SPN classes.
Professor Nagy is an outstanding professor and she truly cares about her students. I took this course online, and during the optional zoom meetings she really helped us understand the material and prepared us for the tests and quizzes. She is one of the most caring professors I've taken at Valencia, I highly recommend taking her courses!
Professor Nagy is a GEM , She is a big help. Everything she states that will be on the test is up there. Her reviews are AWESOME as well as her test review zooms sessions. She is accessible outside of class and will work with you if you show that you are trying.
Professor Nagy was amazing, this class can be very difficult but she did her best to ensure that we understood the material. Take her!!!
Take her if you struggle in Spanish
Professor Nagy was my favorite professor for the spring 2021 online term. If you pay attention and do the homework, you will pass. If you're trying to decide which Spanish professor to go with, choose her! She will accommodate and make the class as easy as possible.
I took elementary Spanish 1 with Professor Nagy during the summer semester. I started off the class only knowing "Hola" and "Adios." Now, I wrote 605 words for the written final that we took through honorlock. I am able to converse with other spanish speaking individuals and it feels amazing! If you really want to learn spanish, take Professor Nagy
Prof. Nagy is amazing! Module work, homework & especially office hours help. Time & practice is needed, but her techniques make learning easier, efficient & effective. Class would be very hard but for her. Cares about & wants her students to succeed & learn material so they can use it. Gives good feedback & reminders, is accessible & grades timely.
Professor Nagy is an amazing teacher! The techniques she taught us really helped me learn and remember the material. I took this course online, however she met with us twice a week during optional zoom meetings, which I recommend people don't miss. I will be taking her again for SPN1121, and can't wait to learn even more from her. Take her class!
Professor Nagy made learning a new language exciting. I attended all the online Zoom lectures which I highly recommend. Her style of teaching and the different methods she uses make learning Spanish logical and doesn't rely only on memorization. I am taking SPN1121 with Professor Nagy next semester too. Professor Nagy cares. Take her class no doubt
I love professor Nagy! She is so kind and helpful and she really cares about her students. She goes out of her way to help you learn the language according to your specific learning style. You will need to study, and practice the language regularly. Definitely take her class!
Professor Nagy is the best Spanish professor I have taken in valencia. if you don't know how to do anything she goes over it in her lectures or you can message her and she always answers.
Learning Spanish is no walk in the park; however, Professor Nagy presents you with everything you need to do so proficiently. She provides great communication throughout the semester and helpful feedback on completed assignments. This class was way more than just completing assignments on a textbook website. I highly recommend!
She is the best professor I have ever had in my whole time as a student at Valencia. She takes time to help you when she is loaded with work. She really helps you grasp the information. She will never give up on you and helped me pass the class I thought I was done for.
Take her! You won't regret it. Easy A. Better to take in person than online.
I took SPN 1120 from professor Monika Nagy last year. I learned a lot in this class. At first I am afraid and worry for speaking and doing homework, but taking class with Nagy it seems easier than I thought. She guided me how to be succeed in the program. If you spend some time to study I am sure you gonna have an A. Can't wait to take the SPN 1121
It was a part from SPN1120 for 1 year since COVID-19. At first I wasn't sure I can remember what I had learned. When I met prof Nagy, She comforts me and always help me or respond to me when I at need. She is very nice and will work with you in order to help you succeed. She helps us creating mind maps, which was very helpful. Must register Nagy.
Professor Nagy has a clever way to make her students navigate a mindmap which helped with creating more sentence structure. She also assigned a supportive group of classmate to assist you with any difficulties. I encourage anyone to take her class.
Very kind teacher. Her class was easy to manage and well laid out. Offered SO many tutoring sessions and extra help. Really, really liked how she quickly formed a WhatsApp group for all students taking the course so we could help each other and send notes!! Honorlock proctored tests are weighted heavily, but homework helps!
Prof Nagy uses Zoom for a weekly class meeting where she reviews what's needed for each chapter test. Her humor is a plus. She also has the class form a group chat on What's App so the students can ask each other questions. There are also extra credit opportunities. Spanish II is hard, but she tries to make it as easy as possible for the students.
Professor Nagy is the BEST teacher to take for SPN classes! She treats you like family and the work is a little challenging but she makes it where you could understand it and pass! I am soo happy I took her course, especially since I had a lot of things to deal with this semester. Take her!!
Professor Nagy is the best! She is a great professor who uses different techniques in teaching. She uses concept maps/mindmaps which makes learning so much easier. Take her! You will learn a lot and you will not regret it. She is very easy-going and kind.
Professor Nagy, is one of the BEST SPN teacher to take if not the best! She is very knowledgeable, very caring treats you like a member of her family. She makes sure to simplify the material to understand it and pass! I am glad and happy I took her class, I will definitely miss her. If you are looking for a good, loving teacher, Take her!!
- Makes everyone feel like family. I was more comfortable (than ive EVER been) participating in class because of the understanding environment she had created. - Uses alternative teaching strategies that are logic based, instead of just memorizing. Shockingly effective if properly utilized! - Doesn't expect you to memorize every single word.
Professor Nagy is so sweet and genuinely wants you to succeed. She ensures you are prepared for tests and exams. There is a midterm that requires you to write 300 words in Spanish and 600 words for the final exam as well as oral presentations. The VHL homework can be very time-consuming but does reinforce the concepts. She uses mind-maps & others.
It was a great course. A lot of work though. Homework every Sunday. You can always reach the teacher via the WhatsApp. She uses that app a lot.
One of my favorite professors at Valencia College! The class was straight forward & her grading structure was gracious. Only assignments in the class are VHL homework due every Sunday. 4 tests, 1 paper, 1 midterm, 1 final. She offers some extra credit assignments. She was a delight! If spanish is a subject you struggle in, take her! You will Pass!
Lots of VHL due every Sunday, (not too bad, just be prepared!) Other than that, there were four tests (she drops the lowest test grade), one midterm paper, and one final paper. You had to record yourself saying a minute of the midterm paper, and set up a meeting to talk to her about the final paper, which were both were really easy. Super nice prof
She's simply the best. Better than all the rest. Take her.
Take her. You will not regret it. Easy A!
She teaches with European ways/techniques to help ppl actually GET the language instead of just memorizing for test and thats it. She teaches you to actually speak the language and for it to stick. I love that she really cares about her students and tries to accommodate everyones different ways of learning and is always willing to help you succeed
Professor Nagy uses modern, science based teaching methods that really make learning a new language more accessible. The homework takes a really long time but you dont really need to do all of it to get an A in the class. 2 essays in Spanish but its really easy if you pay attention in class. Taking her again for Spanish 2. She is very good.
Profersora Nagy is a wonderful teacher and an exceedingly amazing person. Her teaching style is easy to follow and she tries to meet each of her students where they need help. If you have the chance to take this professor I would wholeheartedly recommend her.
Very good professor, less memorization and homework than other languages courses with more of a focus on learning useful vocabulary and grammar. Midterm and final could be challenging if you don't stay consistent with your learning.
Professor Nagy is incredible. Spanish is my third language and she made it so easy. With English I always learned the same unnecessary things which were a complete waste of my time. But professor Nagy teaches what you need to learn instead. I knew the basic of Spanish and now in four months I can actually have a conversation in Spanish, amazing!!!
Professor Nagy taps into each student's individual learning style by using mind maps and concept mapping. She is not deterred by difficult learning styles.She is knowledgeable, persistent in seeing you succeed while imparting her knowledge with simplicity and practicality. To succeed, apply yourself, pay attention in class and study hard.
You will not regret taking her class. She is so kind and loving. You will actually learn Spanish if you take her. Do expect to study, but you likely won't need to do anything intense. Don't be intimidated by her rubric!
She really wants you to come in with positive energy and she understands people a lot.Always willing to help anyway.
Professor Nagy is very sweet and encouraging. She actually take the time out to help and understand each of her students way of learning. If you ever need her she is very available. She response to text messages very quickly and as an anxious student that was important to me. Like every class just apply yourself and do the work and all will be well
My favorite professor is Monika Nagy! Her sweet personality, caring nature, and ease of communication make her so easy to talk to. You can count on her to help you out if you need more help, it is really important to her that her students succeed. Don't miss out on this class.
Professor Nagy was all-around amazing. She gave great feedback and wanted her students to succeed. She kept in contact with me the whole semester. The courseload was manageable even as a student who works full time. The projects were also fun. 10/10 recommend taking professor Nagy!
The class is really good for an online class. She gives you all the tools you need to study for the exams and there is homework due every Sunday on VHL. Tests are difficult but doable, I would highly recommend using the free Valencia tutors for this class, especially the midterm and final. It saved my grade from a B to an A doing it for my final.
Def recommend Prof Nagy. You go through typical VHL and have tests after each lesson. She tells you what needs to be written in the test so read the rubrics! If you need help, I recommend getting on a zoom/whatsapp call with her, she is super sweet!
She is very caring and considerate. Her attitude made everyone calm and relaxed when learning Spanish. In her class, we were able to go through the work submissions in the MOST straightforward way. Not to mention, extra credit.
The profesora is truly a wonderful person, and her teaching style is very different and much more effective than any other professor I've seen. The class is collaborative, and I ended making a lot of friends as well as learning far more than I expected to. 11/10 would take again.
This professor is not only extremely knowledgeable but also one of the most caring people I have ever met. She truly wants to be able to make sure you learn the language, not just get a passing grade. I would 100% take her again.
One of the best professors I've ever had. She is deeply empathetic and extremely caring. Outside of college she does plenty of good for the world by helping improve education in third world countries. One of the best people I've ever met in my life.
This is one of the best professors I have ever had. She cared so much about all of her students and she really makes the classroom feel like a safe place. She made everyone feel like family. She actually wants her students to know how to talk Spanish and not just pass a test. She will do everything in her power to help make sure you can learn.
Professor Nagy really cares about her students and wants everyone to learn and succeed. She has a unique teaching style that really helps you learn the language in a way that isn't overwhelming. If you don't understand something, she is always there to help. A++ professor.
Profesora Nagy is by far one of the best professors I have ever had, she is so loving and kind and really tries to make sure that everyone in her class is comfortable and happy. She teaches Spanish so that you can actually use it in your day to day life, her lectures are interactive and collaborative so you practice your skills and understanding.
I recommend! I took online, so this review is only for her online class.She makes herself available in so many ways like even giving out a phone number you can text her at. This is not an easy class but if you stay up on the HW and follow the rubrics for the test you will pass. She gives you detailed rubrics for every test so you can be successful!
Her instructions on tests were sometimes not clear. One of the assignments didnt have instructions and when I emailed her for clarification she would tell me to look at the sample which was confusing. her tests and assignments were pretty easy and I did learn some Spanish but I do think there's better profs. She does have a final and midterm.
Professor Nagy is one of the best professor I ever met in my life. She cares so much about her students and their success. She teaches in a way that makes it very easy and fun for us to learn Spanish. Professor Nagy is very helpful. Her class was a pleasure to be in. I love her teaching methods. She gives very clear instructions on test &project.
GET READY TO LEARN TOGETHER AND FROM EACH OTHER! face-to-face courses should be conducted the way Professor Nagy does it! if you do not know what active learning is, LOOK IT UP! She is flexible and FIRM. SHOW UP or you don't learn properly.
PARTICIPATION IS KEY. IT MAKES HER UPSET WHEN YOU DON'T COME, SHE LOVES YOU SHE LOVES YOU SO MUCH SHE WILL MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN "A" OR CLOSE TO IT EVEN WHEN YOU'RE LITERALLY NOT DOING ANYTHING EASY GRADER. HARD TESTS, LOTS OF MEMORIZATION. EX: WRITTEN 300 WORD TEST IN CLASS, NO NOTES, BY MEMORY LONG CLASS, BUT THE WORK YOU DO IS FOR THE TEST!!!
She is literally the best professor at Valencia. Myself and a lot of others took her for Spanish 1 and decided to take her again for Spanish 2. She is not like the other professors at Valencia. She cares not just for students' grades, but for their lives as well. Had a heart-to-heart talk with her :) "mi profesora es muy joven y muy bonita" :D
Professor is truly in love with teaching & learning. Her passion echoes in class & it's obvious because of her emphasis placed on active learning. We are always interacting with our peers, working together & learning from each other. I love learning in this environment & with the mind map & concept map strategies. She makes learning Spanish fun!!!
Professor Nagy is one of the best profesors i have ever had. She teaches you a new way to learn! She teaches in an active learning style that always allows us to use the classroom more creatively. There is very little lecture because of this. Definetly be prepared to use a lot of concept maps and mind map but she will help you learn how to do them!
I enjoyed this professor and class. She made learning another language easy. Focus on lessons and how to study was incredibly helpful. Homework was continuous but not overwhelming. She cares about your success and was quick to provide resources to assist in learning. Tests were not easy. Study though and you will be fine.
The best profesora ever! My love with Spanish started from the very first lesson. Monika Nagy definitely knows how to teach keeping all students engaged. She uses high-level methods of teaching, the ones they use in Ivy League. Mind maps that we use in classes are super useful and are like that not only in class but also outside. She's the best!
Mrs. Nagy's class was a fun and engaging atmosphere where we used mindmaps to help us logically learn the subject more efficiently and effectively. I enjoyed my time in the class! If you spend your time wisely and do as she instructed you to do, you will learn the subject and enjoy your time while taking it. Do make sure to take it in person!!
Profesora Nagy, Es la mejor profesora Valencia tiene. If you seek to pass a language class, take this professor. Well-designed course and truly cares about her students. Learning a language is complex but with this class it makes it that much easier. She uses techniques not widely emphasized and you will be better off because of it.
Professor Nagy is an amazing professor when it comes to learning a new language, she walks you through every step to assure you get an A.
Start off this professor does not teach; she actually encourages using a translator. If you're looking for a professor that teaches, then this isn't the class for you. I didn't choose her, my first professor left due to medical reasons. If you had questions the response was "you're an adult".. this semester was chaotic.
Professor Nagy was THE BEST professor I ever had. She taught so well and used techniques to help us remember. She prepared us for our other studies with these techniques like the mind maps. She was so kind and compassionate, she would take it slow and do anything to make sure you understood She treated us like we were her kid. Rest in peace
I love this professor had to withdraw for medical reasons. We getting ready to enroll back in her class. Excited to see her and give her a big hug. RIH glad I was blessed to meet you.
Professor Nagy is truly passionate about teaching. Her active learning techniques, like concept maps and mind maps, make learning Spanish engaging and effective. With dedication, you'll do well in this class. unstuck AI can be a handy study tool too.
