She's difficult to understand because of her accent, but she's a lot of fun.

First class teacher. She makes learning fun and she makes sure that people who never had Spanish before understand. I am eager to come to her classes. Great professor who integrates grammar and culture in a very interesting and positive way. Thru her explanations of the Spanish grammar I learn mine.

at first, she was very difficult to understand, but now i'm used to it. i also wouldn't recommend taking her if you have not had spanish before since she does talk about things that are not relevent to class. exams are easy. she does expect you to learn from the book.

If you go to her right away and tell her you don't understand, she bends over backwards to help you. She is one of the friendliest teachers I've even had, and very easy to get along with. She does move a little fast for a beginner, but she will help far more than any teacher I've known! Great lady!

The best of the best. I'm very laucky to have Sra. Hoff as my prof. She dominates Span. grammar aand language that it makes things so easy to understand. To the previous comments, maybe this students shoundn't be studying at the U. Go back to Elem. School! There is not such thing as stupider, but more stupid. Be fair with your comments!

She is a super teacher. She knows the subject matter very well, but most important she is helpfull, sincere, (no surprises), compasionate and humble. She is funny and makes her classes go so fast. I had her for 101 and now for 102. Her stories don't leave the subject matter of a foreign culture, and her life experience comparing to the USA. SUPER!

The best professor I had so far. She loves to teach and it shows because she has fun doing so. She laughs even at herself, great sense of humor. I highly recommend her I've learned from her in one semester more than 5 years of HS Span. I hope she keeps touching many lifes as she has done to mine. I'll continue to study Spanish because of her.

Excellent professor. Helpful, interesting, funny. There is so much you will learn from her. Superb!!

Not a bad professor. She will take all the time in the world to talk to you if you ask her for help. Very nice, too. Probably not good if you have never had spanish, though.

I love this prof! She relates really well to students and goes out of her way to help. I'm going to miss her!

I enjoyed her class. Sit toward the front, and engage in conversation with her. She is very helpful, so don't be afraid to ask for it. She is slow on grading tests and compositions. She doesn't check if homework is done, but it still is valuable to complete. I had her for Spanish 101 & 102.

Nuria is such a nice lady. She is SOOOOO helpful if you make the effort to go to her office. She tells you what is going to be on the exam. Her lectures are really random and unorganized. I wouldn't take her if you actually want to learn spanish, take her if you want your foreign language credits. She is frustrating at times, but overall a nice lad

Ignore the negative ratings. If you've taken Spanish before, you'll do fine. I've never taken Spanish and I got an A. Nuria does go off on tangents sometimes but she's funny. Also, if you need help, just ask (shocker, I know). Her exams can be a bit challenging but there's plenty of other easy assignments to raise your grade.

i like her very much!

She is cool person who is like the professor who is also your friend. I was not a fan of the actual class. She is helpful if you go talk to her. It is hard to teach spanish to people who don't want to be there but have to.

Excellent, amazing, best professor ever and she is hilarious. I'd never had Spanish before and I am amazed of how much I've learned because of her. I highly recommend her. She is also a story teller of stories growing up in Spain, a plus in a native speaker.

Sra. Hoff is an excellent, caring and knowlegable professor and she is layback. She puts everybody at ease and has a great sense of humor and a very smart woman. Her exams are challenging but if you go to class, do your homework, take notes and participate you be fine. She is very helpful if you ask her.

Nuria is a great teacher. She is hilarious and loves to tell stories about Spain and her family. Participation will make the class much more enjoyable. Nuria is always willing to answer any questions in class or during her office hours. I would highly recommend her even if you haven't taken Spanish before.

I learned more from Snra. Hoff in one semester than I did in two years of high school spanish. She is super nice and loves to know about your experiences with spanish especially if you have been abroad. She is very educated and knows what she is talking about.

If you did not have Spanish ever TAKE HER. She will go to extremes to help you if you ask and she wants you to succeed in the class. However, there are too many students who don't do anything and slow the class down. Her stories and love for her culture is a plus and trust me you will learn as much as you want as far as you want.

Best professor and best class ever. Disregard negative commets. She is fun, very creative when explaining grammar. Do your homework daily and you will be fine. She will go the extra mile to help you. Caution, she is very clever.

Excellent professor!!! She is a master in what she does. Knowlegable, funny, lay back I wish I had taken 101 with her I would've been better off 2 thumps up!!!

No doubt, she is an excellent professor. Great commitment to her students, university, her culture and languge. If you don't enjoy her and have a similar commitment as she does drop the class you will do a favor to the rest of the students.

One word wow! Best profesor ever, funny, relax, wonderful and dedicated. Love her!!!

Super outgoing and really nice, always telling jokes but not the best teacher. She moves through things really quick so if you have no prior Spanish experience i recommend a different teacher. If you've taken Spanish before then she's a really fun teacher to have. Just not if you actually need to learn Spanish from the start.

She is a really easy professor and because I have already taken spanish in high school, this class was even easier. She is constantly off topic and you do not learn much in the class.

Those students are pathetic. Sra. Hoff is an excellent professor, specially with those who never had Spanish. She is really upbeat, funny and caring. She has been an inspiration to me and others. BTW, I had never seen her mad with anyone . She should get a price for patience.

Professor Hoff really knows the language since she is from Spain. You really learn quite a bit of material but at a good pace so it is not too bad. At times she may not understand what you are asking her but overall, she is a great teacher and I would recommend taking her!

EXCELLENT professor. Funny, caring, compassionate, and most important very knowledgeable. If you study, do the homework and see her if you need help you will do very well. II am looking forward lo take 102 with Prof. Hoff ( nicest person ever)

Awesome professor! I have learned so much in this class. I find her a fascinating and passionate professor. You can see she likes teaching her language and culture. A class worthwhile taking.

Great teacher. Very nice woman, and is very helpful.

Nuria is a caring professor. She gets off topic quite a bit but what you do learn you will have a good understanding of. Make sure you participate because that's the best way to really learn a language.

If I knew what an excellent professor she is I would've taken Spanish earlier. Loved the class and finally I understand grammar. She and her husband are an amazing team. BRAVO!!!

Amazing professor. She is extremely helpful and cares about your learning. However, beware. If you are a student who sits in the back and doesn't care to learn or try, she will give you attitude (which is most likely the case for the students who are bashing her). Best professor I've ever had!

EXCELLENT! Finally, a professor who knows how to explain Spanish. Now, everything makes sense. She really enjoys teaching and cares for her students. She is very funny too. I waited a year to take Spanish with her and have no regrets.

Great professor!

Nuria is an excellent, funny, and mostly a caring professor who will go the extra mile for you if you ask. I had her for 101102. Contrary to those 2 previous comments Nuria makes Spanish very easy to understand. However, she wants you to come prepared, a pity some students don't. Easy to blame the professor for your failures. My favorite professor

Nuria is an awesome professor! At times, she mumbles and it can be hard to understand but you get used to it. She loves to goof around and get to know her students. And she is a very easy grader as well! LOVE HER.

Excellent, hardworking, patient and funny. Great for grammar and culture. Expects students to be prepared and ready to go.

Excellent professor, expect students to be ready and participate in class.

Incredibly knowledgeable! This professor never stops surprising me with her knowledge, something that I really appreciate, she teaches with passion. Best profesor ever!

Two thumps up! Very helpful great teacher and better person. Very funny too.

Nuria is a very caring professor and wants you to do well, but expects you to be on top of your work, come to class prepared, ask questions when you're confused, and to PARTICIPATE. Participation and attendance is a fairly large part of your overall grade. Nuria gets off topic quite a bit, but she always manages to get back to business.

Quite the sassy little lady, but a pretty good professor. If you haven't taken spanish before, her class will be difficult but manageable if you put the effort in. She made the class fun and enjoyable, even at 8am four times a week. Sometimes needs help with technology. She likes to get off topic. We got to hear all about her moped. Easy homework.

I had taken 3 yrs of Spanish prior, placed in probably too low of a level(102) so this class was pretty easy. Lots of online homework! Deadlines often unclear and she gets off topic all the time! You get graded on participation so speak up on exercises! Shes really nice & will help you. Not as bad as some have said but not super great either.

She is an excellent professor and extraordinary person. Responds really quick to emails and questions outside the classroom. She doesnt mind to spend time helping you outside class. I appreciate her encouragement and help. She makes you think, and think with logic. Ive learned more from her than any other professor.

Great professor! She explains grammar very well. Gives studyguides before exams and demands participation. She is very accesible and doesnt mind to go over the material outside the classroom.

Excellent professor. I enjoyed her class very much. She is funny too.. Culture is very interesting and I got a couple of ideas for a future paper for my major.

I enjoyed Professor Hoff very much. Grammar and culture is her strength. She is hilarious which helps a lot , I felt very comfortable asking questions,. She gives a summarized grammar package, very helpful as we moved along thru the different Charters.

Nuria can get off-topic easily and ramble on for entire classes. Beware of 8 am classes and her sarcasm at times. She uses the book almost every lecture and for online homework. Exams are straightforward if you know what you're doing. 2 compositions and one small group oral exam. Homework 3x/week usually and can be drawn out and repetitive.
