I took her regular lecture course (she also does the online courses). She is an awesome instructor and a very nice lady. You will learn a lot in her class!
i love ms. levin! she was so great and compassionate, one of the best teachers i've ever had. A+++
what a great teacher! very supportive of her students and always there to help. she keeps the class interesting. can't recommend her highly enough!
I had her for SPN1120 and 1121. She makes the language much easier to understand than any of your high school teachers did. She tries to make the class fun, which is difficult to do with a 2 hour class.
she was very nice and catered to her students. she told cute stories and was passionate about where she is from. she wants everyone to do well and doesn't pick favorites or leave kids behind. always in good spirits.
Great teacher! Really cares about students. Will go out of her way to help you if your behind or not doing well. I wish I had taken her for Spanish I.
Dr. Levin is an excellent instructor!! I am so glad I took her for both Espanol I and II. Her passion for the language is evident and is contagious! Her classes are interactive, which makes the classes great! I wish all my instructors were like her!
Great Professor! She really inspires you to learn. I don't know why anyone would fail her class. She is very helpful! A++++ teacher!
Very good teacher, I'd recommend her to anyone. She's always will to help.
The best spanish teacher I have ever had! She cares so much about her students, she wants everybody to succeed. She is a phenominal teacher!
Levin is a great teacher to learn from. She has an awesome method of teaching and it really helped me to understand spanish a little better.
Great Teacher who loves her job and makes spanish class fun. I'll take her class for Spanish 2
It was surprisingly easy, she makes it fun to learn and makes sure you practice so that you actually learn it!!!
She is very nice and you will actually enjoy this class.
She was very nice and her teaching method of speaking mostly spanish helps you comrehend the words alot easier than someone who uses primarily english and teaches you small words. I wish I could have had her for spanish 2 as well because the other teacher taught in primarily english and I didn't learn nearly as much as Spanish I.
Professor Levin is an excellent teacher. She enjoys teaching her students not only the language but the different cultures. I definitely recommend her.
She makes learning a new language easy.
She is fantastic! Taking three courses over summer almost caused me to drop her class but she was patient with me and talked me into coming back. She is so wonderful and understanding, will always be there for you when you need extra help. Definitely take her if you can, you won't be sorry!
I took Ms.Levin's online Spanish 2 class. She was a wonderful teacher! Extremely helpful in a difficult class. She offers feedback on every paper you turn in and will respond to questions quickly.
Wonderful person in general! I didn't fully understand as much as I should have in Spanish one. When I got to two I was lost. Though I passed Spanish one with a C the first time, she fought for me to be able to take the class over for credit. I was going to have to audit.But bc of her I could take for credit.Amazing Prof wonderful person! HighlyR!.
Took Mrs. Levin for Spanish I and II. Very fun class. No tricks, do the homework and the "SUPER SITE" and you will have an A. She tells you exactly what to focus on for the exams (has reviews posted on angel). You end up learning spanish and not just how to conjugate words. A+++
I enjoyed her class. She is MUY BUENA PROFESORA!!! She is extremelly clear and always willing to help her students.
This was an online class and she made it fun to learn Spanish. I would highly recommend this professor!
This instructor was great. However, I took this class online during the summer session and found it to be a TREMENDOUS amount of work.
Highly advise taking the online class!!! It is a new user FRIENDLY program that you can accomplish from home with no problem. 0 pressure in the online course currently. They have made it too easy online. Please keep these posts current incase someone changes the online curriculum. It is very important to keep this up-to-date.
Amazing Teacher! I hated Spanish class in high school I could barley pass with a C. I was very worried about taking Spanish in College but it turned out to be great! I learned so much more in one semester than I did in 2 years in high school. Sra Levin is Fantastic teacher that truly cares about all her students.
GREAT TEACHER, GREAT CLASS TO TAKE ONLINE. Very easy program online to use. You have about 30 very easy online tasks which you have a week to complete they take about 5 minutes each to complete. She answers very quickly to E-mails and is very open to questions. She's awesome!
Very nice instructor. The book is 200.00 and useless cuz you do everything online.She gives two attempts at all the activities. Best of all.. No mid-term and No final.
best Spanish teacher EVER!!!!
on line class. Sent many e-mails 2 her few answered. Asked for help, w/ (whatever) she never addressed not even 1x. I got B in course. my 1st B in 5 terms all As b/4 - including taking Humanities & 6 other crds during 1 summer term. En Linea = big issues on 3 chp tests, graded 0 w/test grade I got, averaged my real grade + wierd 0 grade. watch out!
I may have caught her during a bad time - Im sole bad rating. Dont agree w/one who said 5 mins on each assignment. Also En Linea was not easy 2 use. had issues all time. wouldnt submit tests taken (try 2 save ur work sep somewhere, just n case u have 2 resbmt happened 2 me often). lots of wkly assgnmnts be ready 2 work. nd lots of time to do it all
U do not need the book for her class.All u need is an access code for the website,so if u can purchase it sep. DO SO.The entire book is online.Easy A class if you do all work.2attempt on EVERY assignment,after 1st attempt it give you correct answer,no way u should fail.She assigns LOTS of assignment that are due in a weeks time.Time consuming class
Super hot, from Buenos Aires so you know shes fit, I had her for spanish 3 and 4, super cool for those classes, dosent matter if you go to class, 2 tests all semester, (open notes/book/dictionary/computerwhatever you need) class goes out to lunch fo extra credit at a spanish resturant! got to dance with her too =P
Took her for spanish 1 and 2! She's an amazing professor. Always helpful. There's def a lot of homework. But you'll learn spanish!
Online Class, all done in Enlina. A lot of work, very time consuming. However I did not do any work for 3 of the 16 weeks and still had a C. The grades are all in Enlina so you can see how you are doing. Two attempts per exercise, second usually gives you the answer. Patner activities every week. Google translate is useful while in this course.
Took Online. Used En Linea software. Don't bother buying the Panorama textbook! Mine is still in the shrink wrap. Course is very time consuming. Expect to spend several hours each week. Can do each activity twice. Partner assignments are a pain. She is very friendly, helpful, and provides good feedback. Wish she taught SPN 1121 Online!
Took online. No midterm/final. Each chapter is split into two weeks. First week a few assignments, 2nd week A LOT. Nice teacher. Dont really need book b/c book is online. Gives chances for extra credit. Except for a test every other week, you can do EVERY ASSIGNMENT OVER & you will see what you got wrong and be able to correct it. shes understandin
The best advice I can give is do all assignments on time, because she will not let you turn them in a day late. If you have no interest in learning Spanish then you'll want to shoot yourself in the foot taking this class.
Wonderful professor. Due to a personal issue, I missed taking a chapter test (lots of points). I explained what happened (totally my fault), and she allowed me an extra day to complete it. VERY helpful in explaining her grades even giving you several examples of the correct way. I wish she was teaching Spanish II online, but she isn't :(
This professor is awesome. She gives extra credit and makes herself available. I took it online. If you follow the course, it's an easy A.
I thought she was great for spanish 1. I would take her again and recommend her.
As a first time student I found this course extremelly tough. I couln't keep up with the assignments. I took it online and the Quia program doesn't teach you everything it quizes you on. Way too much work, not enough time to complete the lessons. If online, do not buy the book you wont need it.
Sra. Levin, is very helpful. I dreaded taking a language course, but it is required. This Profesora Levin is very fair and offers great feedback in a timely manner. I am enrolled on-line in Spanish I, with Sra.Levin GREAT TEACHER!!!! Offers extra credit to boost up test scores!!!
Took online great class and teacher. Material is rather easy but theres alot of it. You definitely have to set time aside to do all the work. Very manageable. One speaking part for each lesson so all together 7 speaking parts that are graded. Very reasonable on the graded as well. Wish she teached spanish 2..Fun and easy class
I took this class online. VERY easy A. The teacher is very quick to respond to any questions. There is no midterm or final. You just do all the activities provided online. You get 2 chances on all the activities. After you answer it one time the answers are provided for you so guaranteed 100% on all. Easiest A ever.
Took online.VERY easy A! You get two chances for all assignments/quizzes(just a have a pen and paper ready to write down the answers)One test per lesson. Multiple extra credit assignments.Prof Levin is very helpful and understanding. There's no reason everyone shouldn't get an A.Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs to take Spanish.
MUST TAKE HER! This women is amazing and helpful, took online and got A+ she lets you submit assignments 2 times, no way to fail. Test for each chapter and 2 projects, you cannot fail, if you do, well then quit college!
Overall, pretty easy. No late work, but just keep up and you'll be fine. Her online class is a breeze.
She is awesome. Speaks only in spanish, but seems to be great at charades and makes sure you know everything she is saying. I love this teacher! the homework is not bad, a little tiresome but she helps with any problem you bring her.
Great professor! She is very animated and really WANTS you to learn Spanish. I loved class, she made things fun and interesting. Not very hard, just wants you to succeed. Incredible person!
Amazing professor!! I can't say enough good things. Class is fun, interesting, and she is very helpful. If you want to take spanish, there's no reason to not take her class. One of the best professors at SPC.
She's okay. The class is easy if you do the numerous assignments. I can't say I learned spanish persay though. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE THE TESTS EARLY! I took TWO tests and tried to submit them around 11:30pm and the exam apparently closed early at 10:59 instead of 11:59. She didn't apologize or anything, and I had to REDO EVERYTHING I ALREADY DID!!!!!!
Sra. Levin is very helpful and is an extremely fair grader. Took the class online and it was great. 45-50 small assignments per chapter and a long quiz. Very time consuming, but interesting in the end. Sad she is not teaching the next level online
Excellent class. My sister and I took it online this summer (2012) and it was a lot of work, but we learned more Spanish than we could have imagined in the short time. Professor Levin graded the work and answered all questions quickly. Really like her and the class!
She is a really good professor! Very nice and helpful!
Amazing professor! I loved this class. She is extremely helpful and fun but also is just awesome at teaching and really helped me with my grammar and conversation. If you want to learn spanish, I highly, highly recommend any class with her.
Took online, the class was pretty easy as long as you did the work. She does take awhile at times to respond to emails/ questions. I did have to correct her on my grade a few times but she was very apologetic and fixed it right away. Do the work=A. Uses Angel and another program so pay attention to deadlines.
Took a blender class with her. Wonderful teacher. She has tons of energy and seems to always be in a great mood...which makes class more fun. Class does require a decent amount of work, but that which is required isn't all that difficult.
Amazing Professor. The class is challenging but she is very helpful and will make time if you are struggling to help. part of the class is online..blended with on campus
Great teacher. Very enthusiastic, helpful, and nice. The lectures are almost entirely in Spanish, but she uses many hand gestures and pictures while speaking. There are about 15-25 online assignments each week. A second attempt is accepted on assignments if you score over 50% on the first attempt. Great class if you're not taking a lot of classes
Excellent professor! I took her summer session online. Lots of small assignments, which are all open book along with the quizzes and chapter tests. The final exam is procored, no books or notes allowed- which made it very difficult seeing all quizzes & tests were open book! She offers extra credit as well.... Very fair professor!
So nice and Helpful! I had an F and she worked with me to bring the grade. I would recommend this professor. She care about her students.
She's fair & understanding!!!
Program used was great, however, I recommend taking up a partner with the work. I did not and I struggled the whole class. Lots of assignments in academic program and the professor writes in Spanish. However, she was always helpful when I needed her. Required a headset with a microphone. Proctored midterm and final.
A lot of work, En linea is terrible, bad audio, and bad directions. Far from a beginning spanish class, teachers directions all in spanish. Very disappointed in this class. I had high hopes but ended up disliking the class. Proctored Exam,no dictionaries. This class would be better taking in person instead of on line. Worst class I have ever had
She's a good professor but the course itself is very difficult for beginners. This is a 4 credit course which explains how much you have to study. You will have to study very hard if you have no previous background in Spanish. No aides allowed for Midterm and Final. All work is done from the textbook.
I love Senora Levin, she's a really great teacher and kind person in general. Her class has made me more interested in Spanish, I'm glad to have a professor like her! She's very helpful and will be flexible if you are going through a personal or family problem. Her grading is lenient as well because she really just wants to see you succeed.
This class has entirely too many assignments. I was excited about learning Spanish but I ended up very much disliking it. Teacher nice and very helpful. 30+ assignments in one week. Must know something about Spanish. Take this class in class vs online. Very difficult!
Senora is super awesome! She is so sweet and litteraly just a happy person. She really wants to see you succeed. the program, panorama, is pretty difficult. the online homework can be up to 35 assignments per week (5-10 min on each). she is very leniant and helpful. The tests are so easy! I didnt study and I got 95+. She makes class really fun
One of my favorite Professors at SPC. Her core goal is making sure you learn something. Be respectful and give spanish a try and you'll do just fine.
Profesora Levin is one of my favorite instructors in all my life - not just college. She is a genuinely sweet and easy-going, cheerful person and I love that. She really cares for her students too. We only had two tests in the semester (each on three chapters) all open book, notes, dictionary, etc. Not too much homework either. I'll miss it!
Very difficult as an online class. 30+ assignments a week. Probably a good professor in class, but do not take this online. Very little study guides to help either.
I just finished Elementary Spanish 1 online the summer edition (10 weeks) with an A. The course itself is brutal simply due to the amount of information that is required to digest along with the workload (roughly 76 assignments due each week with the exception of two weeks used for preparing of the exams) but Professor Levin was always available.
She made learning enjoyable! The class is taught in Spanish ,but she was very understanding and wants to help!
Professor Levin is amazing! She lectures mostly in Spanish but uses her hands and pictures to make it understandable. Class is fun and interactive. I have never taken Spanish before and expected this class to be hard, but it's really not that bad!
Took blended class and it was great! came to class once a week and then watch and do assignment at home online . The next day go to class to practice what you learned, she did different activities that were creative for you to learn spanish. I am not fluent but I do know the basics to get to Spanish 2 class. She is great and energetic.
Super nice- Just finished Spanish four with her (I had her for all four semesters). Nothing but helpful and always willing to give you a hand when you need it. For the class itself, lots of Spanish homework online, so it helps to work with friends. Also, towards the end of the semester there is an oral presentation so practice your pronunciation.
She is super nice and always willing to give you help for anything! 80% of the class is in Spanish, she provides like 5 study guides and power points before an exam, they're usually harder than the actual exam which makes you super prepared for it. One con is the estimated hw time is 3 hrs 30 mins. Attendance is mandatory, she will take it personal
Go to class and participate!!!
One of the best teachers I've ever had.
She is such a great teacher and you can tell she truly enjoys teaching the class. She is very passionate and understanding. She tries to make you understand everything that she teaches. Gives good tests and makes you work in groups a lot. She gives you plenty of time to do hw.
It was a Spanish 2 class, so expect to read a lot. Everything was in Spanish. Midterm and Final counted as 20% of your overall grade. You use the same book as Spanish 1. There are a couple of written projects and one verbal one. Also, expect to write one discussion per chapter along with 2 replies per chapter.
She's so sweet and so fun! She makes the class fun, and you learn a lot.
For Spanish I and II, Levin is the absolute best. For this class, it was tough. I come from a Spanish household, so I understood more, but she only speaks in Spanish. It was very difficult for my classmates, and it moves really fast compared to I and II. Be ready for a challenge, but she is an amazing professor. I wouldn't take Spanish without her.
This was a great class. Levin should be know as exceptional for her Spanish I and II classes. After that it's still good, but not great. But for Spanish I and II, which are requirements, she is the best. I wouldn't take Spanish with a different professor after Levin.
For Spanish I and II, she is amazing. After that it's still good, but not the best. This is where she really shines. The class is fun, she is always there when you need her, and you'll have a great time. I wouldn't take Spanish with another professor after Levin.
She's very nice, I just wish I had the luxury of taking this course in her classroom, because online using Portales is just awful. It takes the joy out of learning Spanish and makes it extremely difficult, frustrating, and stressful. Way too much all at once, not enough time to practice one concept before moving onto the next. Horrible experience.
RUN from this class, it is horrible. Online should not even be offered as it is near impossible with the absolutely ridiculous workload and this horrible Portales program. Professor Levin should be an advocate for her students and change this. No single course should take this much time, and have this much content poured onto someone all at once.
The professor has many assisnments online for HW. At times it can be long but its worth the credit. The test all have a review. Do the review and you will do great on the test.
She loves teaching and it is an amazing class. There are many opportunities for extra credit (especially in the fall). The culture that profesora brings to the class makes learning another language a pleasure.
Professor Levin in amazing! I just took her Spanish 3 class, and I loved it. She is so kind and fun. I passed her class with a high A, but you need to practice in order to succeed. With her help and guidance, so can you. She is so awesome; you have to take her! Spanish 1 & 2 are amazing also, you will love them, especially with her! She is perfect!
Professor Levin is amazing no matter what level of Spanish you are in. She will take the time to make sure you understand the material and make sure you have fun along the way. This was my fourth year of Spanish, but I started with 0 in my first year, and I am so confident! If you are anxious about Spanish, then take her because you will succeed!
She was an amazing prof! I love having her, and she is so caring about making sure you pass her class. Do the homework and SHOW UP TO CLASS. She will be offended if you don't show up, she's kind of joking around but she really wants you to pass her class.
At the begining everything was fine than the last 2 weeks of class she blames you for planarizing, then it just goes downhill. Makes you use only " vocabulary and grammar" form the story you read. she will fail you if you don't. NO REALLY SHE HUGE ABOUT THAT. She responds fast with no problems but when it comes to grading she tough.
Terrible online course and you do not have this teacher as a resource. Her feedback takes a long time. She does not offer any help - her responses are always..."its in the text". She either has too many online courses she covers or she just doesn't care to do the work. I can understand why the failure rate is high in this course.
I'm wanting to minor in Spanish so I continued from Spanish 1 through 5 with Professor Levin. She's the sweetest and the most caring woman ever. She makes Spanish fun and is so passionate about teaching her students. I loved her class of Spanish 5. It was a lot of writing, but it was a lot of fun. You will love her!
Took this class fully online, Lots of homework, you need to put away time every day of the week to stay on top of it. I am not doing well due to my reasons, not because of her as a professor. She is very nice and if you ask she may reopen an assignment for you. She has zoom sessions every now and then, if you cannot attend she records them.
Prof Levin is great! I really liked her online class. There is a lot of VHL homework but I didnt mind that. Only the midterm and the final are proctored, everything else is open book. She is very helpful and she grades very gently and based on the rubric. If you do all the work, there is no reason you cant get a pretty easy A in this class.
Ms. Levin is a sweet and kind professor. The class is based on the VHL textbook and two projects. Get ready to spend at least 6h/weekly to complete the homework and the next 6 for studying. I'd recommend taking either SPC-live or regular lectures to interact with the language. The classes are straightforward. The assignments are graded quickly.
Profesora Levin is very encouraging, and really helps to build confidence in your work. Her feedback is thorough on assignments, & she responds to emails quick. Highly recommend taking her class, it's a lot of work but if you put in the work you will do well. She also provides a template for projects so you have an idea of what it should look like
I took Profesora Levin for Spanish 1 and 2. I took Spanish 1 during the summer which was brutal. It was not because of her it was just a heavy work load and a lot of content covered. She is wonderful and very helpful. Her midterms and finals are proctored but she is a gentle grader. She is always communicating and sending emails. Take her class!
Took Sra. Levin for Spanish 1 and 2. She is very helpful. Grammar is the hardest part of the course, but the VHL learning software makes it easy as long as you take notes, take time to fully focus on the material, and pay attention to the videos. Not many discussions and the projects are easy. Mid-term and final exams are proctored.
I took Professor Levin for Spanish 1 and Spanish 2. Professor Levin is a really great professor, she explains things very well. For the projects that we had, she gave us sample projects so we knew exactly what she expected from us. Her midterm/final reviews are very informative and helpful! Put in the time and the effort, and you will do great!!
Kind professor. The program used to teach is terrible in my opinion. Though I believe it is standard, not her fault. She is very engaging and helpful.
I took professor Levin for both Spanish 1 and 2. The software used is easy to navigate and understand. The work isn't hard at all you just need to put in effort. She is the only professor of mine who extended due dates because of the hurricane. Genuinely cared for the well being of her students. Offers study abroad opportunity.
Profesora Levin is awesome. Very passionate about her course and wants the entire class to succeed. Would definitely recommend.
Awesome experience with Professor Levin. Just do your portales work (which is open book) and study for the midterm and final proctored exam (not super difficult) and you will do just fine. She is a great teacher.
What a fantastic professor. She is funny, inspirational and it's just a great time being in her class. The class moves very quickly and she makes a lot of fun games to learn the vocabulary. I Will be taking Spanish 2 next semester. Make sure to buy the book early as you will need it for everything. I look forward to each class.
I loved this class and professor. I took Spanish 1 and 2 with her. She uses a lot of different materials to help you learn so there is a lot of variety. She truly cares that you understand the language. She understands that some modules are really hard and does her best to help us. In person was actually so fun. 10/10 would recommend!
Profesora Levin is hands down the best teacher I have ever had in every aspect.
Professor Levin was an amazing Spanish professor. On numerous assignments, Professor Levin gave insightful feedback while giving full credit. I highly recommend Professor Levin's course if you're nervous, worried, or apprehensive about taking a foreign language. If you put in the time and effort, the class is an easy A.
Roxana Levin was amazing at dealing with my ADHD and my lisp. I cant wait to take part 2 of her class. She used portales for the lessons but there is also a book that goes with it. you dont really have to buy it as the pages you are studying are in the lesson as well.
I would highly recommend Profesora Levin to anyone who is taking Spanish I or Spanish II. Very caring and nice person. Midterm and final were on campus and proctored. Not very difficult class. Homework weekly and discussion post/ pen pal biweekly. I would highly recommend Profesora Levin to anybody that needs to take Spanish!
This course was hard and the exams were complicated. Lots of heavy work, however, that is Spanish 2 for you online. Regardless, Levin was amazing. She was always in constant communication and graded weekly. Would recommend her to all, but remember it is a heavy work load.
Awesome professor. I had her for Spanish I in a fully online course, but she was very understanding when I had late work due to hurricane Helene. She reversed late penalties for me on some assignments. Her course is evenly spread out with your grade counting towards homework, projects and tests which makes exams less stressful. Highly recommend
Great teacher, do the work and you will have no issue.
Clear rubric, nothing confusing. Not accessible, you will not find extra support outside of class. Theres a lot to memorize and a short time to do it. Theres a midterm and final. Both require heavy studying. Final: only lessons 9 and 10. She doesn't show what you got wrong on the midterm. The partner activities badly organized, find a partner fast.
THE BEST!!! She is such a great professor and she is so caring!!! She had 5 units for our class and some projects for us. Also we use VHL which is super helpful and her classes are very fun and engaging. Love her teaching style and I recommend taking her class for anyone that wants to learn spanish.
Best Spanish professor, very helpful and responsive the entire semester. Gives great constructive feedback on discussion assignments & truly cares.
Profesora Levin is very kind and responds quickly to questions. The class is a lot of work but it's definitely manageable. If you don't understand something, definitely reach out to her and she will explain it to you. The only thing I will say is to find a partner for the partner chat activities as soon as you can so you don't get stressed out.
