She makes the course fun and is a great teacher.
Rosy was fabuloso. nice, funny, knowledgable. Please be nice to her... she deserves it.
The best instructor I've ever known. Fun, caring, easy to learn Spanish from her. A great class. Great outgoing happy personality.
This lady talks like a woodpecker. If you don't understand spanish she is going to be extremely difficult.
she is really fun and helps you learn with ACTIVITIES and not just lectures
Good teacher.If you don't miss class, you will practically ace the test.Involves everybody and insists that all pay attention.Kind of bossy though-"take out your books!," "put away your books!" "close your notebooks!" for no
Great teacher. Uses lots of activites to keep class involved including "magic cards" to randomly call on students. Go to class and the tests will be a cinch.
She is an amzing profesora, and she actually cares about what she teaches!
Best language teacher ever!
She's a great Teacher and I'd recommend her to anyone
rosy is the best! she is clear, organized and passionate about teaching. she really wants you to learn spanish, and she is willing to work for you. it is a fun class, and most people are really responsive
She really cares about her students
great teacher, she's willing to work with you.
she is the best prof I have ever met. she is clear, efficient and great at explaining. She does a great job
Rosy is very friendly and enthusiastic, and she puts in a lot of effort. I had no trouble understanding her.
great teacher, ready to help, easy on the eyes.
Rosie is the BEST! If you can, take her for ANYTHING!!! She's very knowledgeable, very nice, and sometimes feisty! But she always looks good! Extra hottie points here! Not to take away from her professionalism, though! Keep it up, Profesora!

Prof Sandoval speaks to fast. Very difficult to keep up with and her grading is unfair. I recommend someone who cares about the students, she is not it.
Her class is super easy and fun. She is very friendly and nice. I recommend this class to anyone. You learn a lot. Easy A! One thing I don't like about her class is her "magic cards" where is randomly calls your name.
Rosy is an excellent teacher who really wants her students to do well. She keeps her class very interesting and is always willing to take the extra time to help you outside of class if you need it. I'm really looking forward to taking her for Span 2.

High energy, keeps the class on its toes, always challenging and interesting.
Muy Rapid. To Rabid. Lo ciento Rosy, pero es muy dificil.
She is a great teacher! She makes sure everyone knows what she is talking about before she moves on. Although she does have those "magic cards", that she picks on people with, and it sucks if you hate being put on the spot, but it definitely keeps everyone awake! 101 was easy, but 102 was a lot harder. She made me like spanish shes greatteacher
Rosy is the best professor I have ever had. She is fun, very clear, understanding and is always there to help her students. I had so much fun in that class, I took all 3 levels of Spanish with her! I recommend her class to anyone who needs to take a Spanish course. I have nothing to say, but good words about Rosy. She's awesome!
WOW. Rosy made learning Spanish exceedingly easy, even the stuff that was supposed to be challenging. She's funny, involved and caring. This woman was born to be a teacher.
I loved this class. She made learning fun, she's easy on the eyes, and as long as you study for the tests you can't go wrong. I got an A.
Best Professor ever, I took Rosy for 101 and 102 and she really cares about you learning the language, always on time, always has the class involved in answering questions, and is a major hottie, she deserves better than working at SD City, Vote for her during the spring student government elections under teacher of the year.
rosy is one of the best teachers i have ever had. she is definitley the best spanish teacher i've ever had. she is demanding, caring, funny, fair, and just a great person. i recommend taking her. if you pay attention it is an easy A.
Wow- best Spanish professor EVER. I signed up for her next class as soon as I was able to register. If you have the oppurtunity take her class.
She is a great teacher! Very caring and enthusiastic. She uses "magic cards" to call on everyone which would be my only complaint. I feel like I learned a lot this past semester.
i read all these reviews before taking her class last spring. Without doubt, every review is accurate at one point or another during this past semester. I've seen the kind rosy and the acerbic rosy.Overall, she grades fair, teaches well, and is really sweet. If you put out a lil time & effort you will pass. Best advice: take credit/no credit option
Rosie was our onsite coordinator for the sudy abroad program in Cuernavaca. She was great. Everything you could ask for. She resolved all problems and made the experience much more educational and enjoyable. Her only weakness is her poor sense of direction. Otherwise she is pretty close to perfect.
Rosy is the best!! She is a great teacher who obviously loves teaching; it is also obvious that she really wants everyone to learn a lot in her classes. I can't wait to take another class from her (even though I have already fulfilled my language requirement).
I LOVE HER! She is funny, energetic, and perfesional. If you want to learn spanish take her.If you just want an "easy A" DON'T take her. She is tough, but you will learn! I wish i had her for 101. TAKE ROSY!
Rosy is an excellant professor she is always ready to give extra help when needed and she definately keeps things moving in class. Attendance and tarea are very important in this class! It helps if you are warmed up before comming to class. She grades fair and does a great job at preparing students for exams, she will drop u 4 absences!
This teacher is hard!! I had asked for her for help on numerous occasions and was blown off. I felt like she played favorites in the class especially to the native speakers, as well was very condesending to the others.
She does NOT play favorites to the native speakers or anyone else (I'm not a native speaker). She wants you to learn and insiststs that EVERY student participate, so don't expect to sit in the corner and be left alone. She is the picture of professionalism... I don't believe that she's ever had a bad day. She's awesome! Plan to work hard and study.
I'm so glad I took 101 with Rosy, I learned so much in such a short period of time! Like the other people have said you're going to have to work for your grade, but the classes are always fun and she grades fairly. I don't think she plays favorites at all. I always felt like she enjoyed incorporating everyone into the class.
NO COMMENTS
she's nice to students she's taken a personal liking to but a **** to those she's not. overall she's unfair and unprofessional.
I took her class @ SD City. She is a great professor & does her best 4 her students to understand Spanish. She is hard @ X's but doesn't mind answering questions. The bad part is that I took it in the summer & 50% of the class already had knowledge of the Span language. I wish I could of taken her class during a regular semester. Also Shes Hot!!!
She is very nice and teaches very well.
Una profesora fabulosa! She's very helpful, very good at teaching, and very funny. Fair and easygoing, but makes you work. She's lovely; definitely take her.
Professor Rosy is the best Spanish instructor at City College. I would recommend her to any person interested in learning Spanish. She is very high energy and has a constant enthusiasm when she teaches. She is very patient and approachable. She really wants EVERY student to succeed. Good luck to all!
I Love professor Sandoval she is the best teacher in the world. Her class is extremly fun and she is funny. You will learn so much as long as you put 100% into the class. She offers plenty of extra credit, there is no reason why anyone could not recieve an A or B. It is not an easy A but I would definantely recommend her to anyone!!!!!!!!!
Rosy knows the language backwards and forwards. She cares about others learning the material, and cares about her students as people. She made the course fun and interesting, and I definately want her for 102.
I miss rosy!! Had her all 3 semesters! And yes sometimes you wish it would end but then you meet so many people because your constantly in groups and you learn Spanish! Fun class. She's the best! I wish all classes were like this. Got an A. :)
I miss rosy! She's awsome and make her class very fun! Beautiful person!
This is one of the best teachers that i've ever had in my whole education history. She's so nice to everybody and tries to help everybody understand whats going on in class. I recommend this class to everybody who wants to learn spanish and those who already speak it well you can still learn some new things like me hehe.
Im gonna miss her so much & her TJ jokes. Everyday she'll welcome us with a friendly "HOLAAA" :) Our class was the best! We all had so many laughs & got along really well. U will def. make some new friends. Rosy is a funny/nice teacher & she clarifies if u dont get something. IF YOU WANNA TAKE 101, TAKE MRS. SANDOVAL<3
Im usually the quiet type that never participates but it was the opposite for this class. Its somewhat demanding but its DO-able. One of her pet peeves is people texting during class so dont do it. Other than that, if you dont get on her bad side shes a GREAT professor. I did good on all the tests and quizzes but the 2nd part of the FINAL was HARD.
'HOOLA!..." :D she is the best! She's like this little ball of energy that just makes you so excited to learn. I miss her and cannot wait to take her again!
Like others have already said, if you attend class and do the homework it is an easy class to ace. I love her personality and teaching style. The "magic cards" keep you on your toes and she never wastes any "precious minutes" Rosy es el mejor profesora en la mundo!

Best Professor I've ever had. She is so dedicated, always in a great mood and full of energy.
Those of you who ranked her high must have been her favorite. I was in her class and she likes to talk about the students she dislikes in spanish so they do not know she is talking about them. This was told to me by one of the student in the class that did understand spanish.
By completing Ch.1 we learned to introduce ourselves, ask a persons name, age, where they lived, etc. & how to respond. We learned the alphabet, numbers, time & the verb gustar which means to like. We started Ch.2 & she gave us a HW assignment asking us to DEFINE different objects in the classroom in SPANISH. how did she expect us to magically know
I took 101 & 102 with Mrs. Rosie she is the best, enjoyable class very helpful just come to class and try and she will work with you if you need help, do the homework, pay attention, practice and do the oral report no matter how bad you think your Spanish is. She is really friendly and the best Spanish teacher on campus
I took Rosy for Spanish 101 and 201. She's one of the best teachers I have ever had. She's welcoming, funny, and very helpful. She does give you a lot of work, but you don't even realize it because the class is so much fun. Everyday she greets you with a big "HOLAAAA!" I will really miss this class.
She's an ok teacher, but she's a total control freak too. I wouldn't take her again
Too Controlling. The class needs to be more open. It should be a little bit geared more to a BEGINNER.
She is a good professor. She has a lot of energy!!!! Yeah its a lot of work but hello its college!... I love her and had a great connection with her!. This has been one of the only classes where I get to talk to all the students and actually enjoy it!!! Shes great!!!
Shes too controlling, worst Spanish professor ever.
Rosy was one of my favorite professors! I liked her enthusiasm, it made me want to try my best in the class. There were many Spanish speakers in my class but I didn't feel she gave them special treatment. She really wants everyone to succeed and practice. I generally had a lot of fun. And as someone who took a few Spanish courses in junior high but was otherwise novice I didn't have trouble with the course. Use flashcards and ask questions!! Rosy doesn't bite!
Don't think twice about it, just take Rosie. She is the absolute best Spanish professor at City. Enthusiastic, funny, organized, helpful, and knowledgable. I learned more in her class than in any other, even the higher level courses. If you actually want to learn the language, take her. Though her "magic cards" are nervewracking!
Hands down all together great very detailed a must take
The best Spanish teacher at City College for sure! Her classes are very interesting, entertaining and informative. Highly recommend her!
Excellent teacher. She really likes to do a lot of classroom interaction/ participation exercises, but if you do them without complaining she is easy to get along with
GREAT professor! I am a nonSpanish speaker and I passed with an A. She is SO helpful and makes sure that you understand before you move on. I never had to get additional help from her office hours or tutors because all I did was pay attention and take notes. I did all Her practice worksheets ad memorized what I was told to memorize. It is extremely easy, even for non Spanish speakers if you just pay attention! I love her!! She is just so nice and patient! Thank you rosy for a woderful semester
Great prof. Teaches well!
She teaches pretty well. Knows her stuff. She does however tend to treat students like children at times and brags A LOT about her personal life. Her personality gets a U for unsatisfactory!
She is the best teacher... In her class you never get boring. She aswerd all question you ask. She used her psicology skill perfectly. Exelent
She Answers all questions, is VERY VERY funny...she is very smart she knows whats going on with each student as far as where they are at with their work and comprehension, she expalins things SO clearly then reviews a lot to make sure everyone understands..she does not put up with abscences she will DROP you quick so dont try it- avg amount of hmwk
Good, fun, and well balanced professor. I recommend her class. Spanish is not my first language, and by completing this course I am not fluent. Speaking out loud in Spanish gives me extreme nausea/anxiety. For the 1st time I had a clue what was going on in spanish class! I've had 4 spanish teachers at city (I dropped Estrada :[ ). ROSY is the best
She is an amazing professor! She is so passionate about the subject. She cares so much about her students, full of energy so you'll never fall asleep! I promise! In the beginning of class she greets her students with a loud, "holllllaaaa" ! I'll miss her so much! I wish she tought 102
Professor Rosy is one of the best professors at City College. She's passionate and always energetic! You do get a lot of worksheet packets throughout the class period but it doesn't even feel like you're doing work,its enjoyable! A LOT of working in groups, so you'll feel more at ease since you're learning a new language along with your classmates
Rosy, is a great professor! She is the best!!!! She's nice & passionate about teaching this class and is clear. Easy A. Ooooh, and she's so funny!!!!
If you take Sandoval, expect to participate because it really counts in this class. Come to class on time and you'll succeed in class. Constantly remember your notes because you have to remember the spelling and the orthography of words. You will have to do a group presentation about a Latin American country, so you will do research.
She is a very good and caring teacher, the best in city college spanish department actually. But expect some work in her class...
The best professor I've ever had. I wish all professors at SDCC were like her. Her lectures are very engaging. Expect to participate. She gives lecture packets to practice on which helps a lot. The online homeworks are time consuming but are essential in learning. She explains each lecture thoroughly and reviews before a test. Highly recommend.
Rosy is very funny and the 2 hour class flies by. She won't take your sh*t though. She'll take cell phones away & move seats if she see's you aren't paying attention or talking too much. A LOT of group work & she doesn't like when students always choose the same friends to work with. One oral presentation. MUST DO HOMEWORK TO PASS. I learned a lot.
She is awesome! she is there for you, and teaches very well. Good energy in class as well. I enjoyed her class.
Rosy is a great professor. She takes the time to make sure that her students understand the material. Greatley prepares lectures to ease any tricky concept like verb conjugations in the subjunctive and indicative tense. Energetic! An Oral presentation. Check Vistas Supersite often for hw and grades. Don't talk in class! She loves participation!
She is amazing! Professor Sandoval is always willing to explain what you don't understand. Class is fun not boring. She has a really good sense of humor. She is strict on absences so don't think you can miss class and pass the class. She also reviews the material before each tests. Participate and try your best and you will do fine. Take her!
Very firm, but fair professor. She is very knowledgeable and her lectures about the the language are very good. She always keeps you up to date on assignments/quizzes/exams. She reviews before every quiz/exam. No Surprises! Her study guide for the final worked wonders. Nearly Identical to actual final! Taking her for 102!
attendance is mandatory get a grade lower just for missing 4 class session.
Rosi is an amazing teacher. She seems like she was made to teach. Very enthusiastic. Do the work and show up and you will do well. She offers extra credit. Class is fun. Best thing about this class was that I actually learned. I am at the University now and the classes do not even come close to how wonderful she taught. Take her. She is the best.
Great teacher, really concerned about you learning not just passing by the course. She listens and trust to accommodate everyone, keeps you alert and interested in class. You learn more from her natural teaching skills than professors following book step by step. She very approachable and clearly enjoys her job, and dresses nice :-)
Personally I have nothing with Professor Rosy. However taking her quickly you will realize she has a issue with irritability and patience during class. As a Spanish speaker doesn't make a difference to pass but, I noticed my peers which are new comers to the language suffered, you will struggle and she will get annoying quick you'll know whyquick
Prof. Rosy loves to teach, but she's fast paced and energetic so if you're a beginner you need to remind her to slow down sometimes. The material can be very challenging for those who don't know any Spanish at all, so pay close attention. She's helpful if you genuinely try to learn, but she doesn't tolerate many absences so show up!
Took her hybrid course, class once a week and the rest of the course is on vistas so majority of learning is up to you. One project and an in class final. There are a lot of online activities on vistas which you can find on quizlet however when we did actually have class it was unorganized and she was very unclear about deadlines most of the time.
It's easy to lose focus in a foreign language class. Mrs. Sandoval grabs your attention (!Ojoooooo!) If you put in the effort there is not reason why you shouldn't do well in this course. There's interaction with classmates in every class meeting which will help you get more comfortable with Spanish. Dont' miss to chance to be in her class.
Rosy is a very good teacher I took her hybrid class during the spring. all the HW & test are through Vistas & we had one powerpoint presentation that needed to be posted on youtube. Its an easy class for a Spanish speaker & explains very throughly to the non Spanish speakers. Sometimes she does not communicate what she wants so ask questions!
