learning langueages is intimidating to many, but she makes it easy and fun. Her class is the kind you hate to have to leave.
very nice teacher try to help you evey way she can
Doctora Jazan made learning Spanish extremely fun and easy. I really wish she would teach 102 as well. You're awesome, profesora!
She was always helpful.
She is just AWESOME. Does a great job, all her students just LOVE her. She really IS too kind and too innocent for this world. You'll absolutely LOVE her, and will want to attend all her classes. Keep up the great job Ms. Jazan!
Great teacher, fun class.
She's the best.
she has this thing for ricky martin. very energetic. u might get pissed off cuz all she does is speak spanish and no english, but dont let that force u to drop the class cuz trust me she is easy. didnt study alot got a 98 on the midterm and a 96 on the final.
Very good instructor. Very helpful and kind. Highly recommended.
GREAT TEACHER! Jazan is the sweetest lady ever. She loves to make the class fun and easy to learn. She truly cares about her students and is willing to help in any way. You must take her!!!
DO NOT RISK TAKING THIS TEACHER. Corny and lame and a rookie at the subject and makes even worse mistakes than the students. I do not know if she was really that ditsy and rude with a smile or just trying to make up for her height. Gets on pms when one points out her errors.
Prof. Jazan is incredibly enthusiastic and makes learning Spanish fun, not intimidating. She has so much passion for the subject, and you will learn a lot. She wants her students to do well, and as long as you pay attention in class and read a bit, you'll have no problem in her class.
She is the best Spanish teacher ever. She has the best personality and makes Spanish so much fun. If you are thinking of taking spanish take her .. I promise you wont regret it. Her tests are easy(if you study) and her final and midterm is not as hard as it seems.
She is a good teacher, but she is a little difficult to take at 8:15 in the morning. She can be a little TOO perky! Her Spanish is okay, but I have friends who speak better than her.
shes very caring about her students. the only bad parr is she believes because ur in spanish class and the books in english that u need to speak in spanish in class and so does she. i cant say it wasn't fun or intreasting, but all u have to do is pay attention and study a little. i would recomand her but if its ur 1st year in spanish watch out!!!!!
THE MOST AMAZING PERSONALITY. TAKE HER CLASS AND GET TO KNOW HER.
Her class is fun, but it gets confusing when you don't understand what she says half the time. She is funny and has a cute personality, and is adorable. But she did take us on a field trip! She's fun & if you like to learn things in an unorthodox manner, take her!
She is a good teacher who cares about her students.If you have any problems she will work it out with u. As long as you are trying your best....she will pass you.
Great professor. She loves her coffee! Class was interesting, and she teaches well. Take her, it's fun.
She is a good teacher. But the biggest problem is that she ONLY speaks in Spanish. She doesn't take the time to teach in English to make sure you understand. She expects you to just understand the entire Spanish language (news flash...SPANISH 101!) But I would still recomend taking her. You'll get a good grade. That's what we're looking for, right?
She's a really fun teacher. Makes your look forward to going to class and learning spanish. Good and Fair Grader
Seems adorable but really thinking is not her strong area.She needs to realize that she can't always be the topic and her errors that students catch/point out are done w/good intentions,not to crush her fragile ego.Will lash out when her feelings are not "validated." Living w/a latino doesn't indicate her knowing Spanish or latino culture.
Realize this folks as you read on. The only people taking really calling her a "good teacher' are the ESL drop outs that managed to secure a good grade in her class and have a tunnel vision.
she's a very sweet and smart. I enjoyed her class very much
She's easy, very perky too. Take her class you'll learn a lot of spanish in the end.
She speaks english a lot during a class. Her classes are canceled every 2 weeks. She is always tired and needs to sleep. Don't take her. She is just killing time. You not gonna learn anything new.
Ms. Jazan needs her cup of coffee everyday or she is very irritable. Other than that she is a GREAT professor. She loves to help her students. Have problems just visit her during office hour and get a for sure A in the assignment or test. One of my all time favorite professors. Take her shes fun.
This was an interesting class, but I dropped it because I was not able to keep up. This is mostly the fault of the college and not the teachers' becuase the school fails to mention in the free schedule that the class is taught primarily in Spanish, but they were kind enough to put that little detail in the catalog that you need to PAY FOR. Thanks
Don't be crazy!!!! There are a lot of teachers who teach Spanish cz they know Spanish She does'n know y she is teaching Spanish she would prefer teaching English. She is always tired and only likes native speaker students anyway I got an A+ bcz of my hard work. Don't take her BELIEVE ME GUYS
I took her class during the Fall semester and thought she was a good teacher. I understand Spanish, but needed help speaking and grammar. She knows her spanish grammar, only missed one class and was very helpful especially before exams. There is alot of homework, but, after all, it is a 5 unit class. I would recommend her.
alot of homework.but she is a really good teacher i really learned alot of spanish. she tries to help u if u ask 4 it. i got a B in the class. HIGHYLY RECOMMEND.
she is the BEST!!!!!! spanish teacher everrrr. she is very flexible and understanding. Her instruction. Whoever doesnt pass her class is a complete idiot. She is so helpful to the point that she will make time of her own to help her students and she is always pushing her students to move forward =)

Someone said below that Dr. Jazan only likes native speakers. People, this is a HUGE lie. She is a very fair teacher who gives everyone a chance to do well in the class. I am Asian, and I got an A. The lessons are not really hard, either. A Filipino guy and an Italian girl topped our class, and they had just as much awkwardness with Span as we did.
She is a great teacher. what i liked about her most is that she always smiles. its really nice going to a class with a teacher that loves what she does.
One of the nicest people you will ever meet. The WHOLE class is taught in spanish. SINK or SWIM. I highly recommend having some spanish or other foreign language background. Summer session will leave you no time for anything else. A great experience but definitely not a walk in the park. Be prepared to memorize TONS of vocab or you will fail.
Overall, Span. is easy but her narcissism and rude belligerence makes it awful. She's the equivalent of Peggy Hill from King Of The Hill who thinks she's fluent in Spanish when she's not. She suffers from "Im drowning in my own incompetence but you should like it" syndrome. Very rude and if you correct her "espanYOL" she grades you down.Take Ross.
She is the best. You can tell she loves what she does, and that really matters. She is very inspiring, and she teaches so well! Take her for sure.
Jazan is the greatest spanish teacher. Her class is tough if you're not the least familiar with the lingo. But questions are welcomed. If you're not interested in doing any extra work besides HW, then this ain't for you. You have language lab work, but the test are fairly simple (if you study).
She is a very nice woman, but this class is hard and it is a lot of work. You must study on your own because she only speaks in spanish and if you have no idea what she's saying, you'll need to teach yourself. go to her office hours and she's very helpful and speaks in English ;-)
I am terrible at Spanish so this class was hard for me. Having said that, Jazan is the most helpful and nicest person in the world. She is always willing to help out at her office hours. I recommend her 100%
Very clear and organized. Not an easy A, you must work for your grade but she makes it possible
Great teacher, very clear, very helpful, and very cute. She has office hours all the time and always answers questions. Best Spanish teacher. Take her!!!
She is a horrible teacher. Boring and useless information about unimportant Spanish writers. Do not take this class. Its a waste of time.
She is a good teacher. The class had allloooot of hw. I didn't like how she did explainations in spanish to the class. She said it was to learn spanish faster, which I guess that is true. I recommend you take her class. She very nice and will help the students. You will learn to write paragraphs in spanish in no time. Adios!
She is the sweetest teacher I had at GCC, is so helpful during office hours, & is obviously excited to watch you learn. She wants to see you succeed. I can imagine any Spanish immersion class would be hard for non-natives, but she makes it as painless as possible. It was such a pleasure to take her class. I couldn't recommend her enough!
This class wasn't the easiest but this professor hands out A LOT of handouts to help you study and comprehend the material. She's very helpful in her office hours as well. She's usually very happy and jokes around too. Once you get the material, the class flies by.
Jazan is a great teacher. You can tell she loves the subject and will do her best to explain it to you. She is more than willing to help students. Her tests are easy if you take notes and she assigns a lot of online hw. I recommend her!
Great teacher very helpful she made my summer spanish clash fun and easy
Professor Jazan is a wonderful and compassionate person. She will help you with any question you have. You have to be willing to try and learn in order to do good in the class, but she just wants the best for you. If you want to learn Spanish and put an effort you should take her. You will be happy you did.
I took her for Spanish 101. She is an amazing professor!! She does not test you on something that's not on the textbook. Lots of homework but they are easy. She gives you a lot of review or study materials. She's very helpful and she tries to answers all questions.
The best teacher on campus.
Professor Jazan is one of the most caring and compassionate professors on Campus. She always gladly offers her help and goes out of her way to assist her students. Just attend the class, do your homework and pay attention. Getting a A is easy in her class.
Professor Jazan is both an amazing professor and a person. She is always willing to take time and clarify the subject. I took this class during Spring and it has been a great experience. It was very interesting learning about Spanish literature, literary giants, and the background history. Also, it would take a lot of effort not to get an A!
If you do not know any spanish than you are screwed. She only talks in spanish. She does not teach in english. She thinks that everyone is fluent in spanish. Her final is hard. She is a very good person but she is not a good teacher. If you know spanish it will probably be a breeze if not than you are screwed.
I took her class during winter session. Long lectures, but she did manage to make it fun! Ok, to be honest, if you don't know ANY Spanish at all, don't take Spanish in a short session cos it will make you crazy. Prof J will do everything to help you but it will be HUGE workload still. However, it's a great class and I highly recommend.
Super easy class if you're a native speaker. Overall its a easy class with a lot of online home work, pretty easy though
DON'T take her class if you know nothing about Spanish since she will only teach you Spanish in Spanish even it is an 101 class. She only speak Spanish and nearly didn't speak English in the class. Since I bought the book for 101 to 103 and I need credits so I continued with her 102 class. Not recommending people who don't know Spanish to enroll.
She's a cool person but her teaching depends on her mood overall in class she teaches based on the book but when she explains it on the bored its hard to understand cause its so fast And she grades like u are a native speaker She just is not very friendly even though she acts like it and makes people feel uncomfortable good luck!!!!
She revived my memory of Spanish and made me able to speak it again. Overall, funny personality, clear instructions, and she'll try her best to make the harder stuff (e.g. subjuntivo y imperfecto) make sense to your ears. I wish she teaches 103. RECOMMENDED.
I dropped this class the in the summer because it was too hard. She is a great teacher but it is hard to learn a new language in a class full of people who already know it. I wish she could have slowed down a bit for the students who didn't know any spanish at all. I also think that student who already know spanish should not be allowed in 101.
She's really a good teacher, but you have to know Spanish well or you will get a C or lower like me. Easy to get marks from homework since you only have to finish them on time. Also she's a very helpful teacher, she will solve your problems in office hours. Sad that she's not going to teacher 103 next semester, or I will definitely take her again.
This class is all in English so it wasn't that bad for students who don't speak Spanish. She could be more organized BUT she's very sweet and genuine. You can tell she loves these stories. Take notes as she covers the readings and review her notes which is on moodle. She gave the most touching goodbye and parting advice to us. I recommend!!
Professor Jazan is AMAZING!! I had to work really hard for my grade but it paid off I learned so much from her. She cares so much about her students. GCC needs more Spanish teachers liker her!
As a non native speaker I REGRET taking this class! This professor has made me never want to step foot inside any other spanish class. The class is beyond tough for people who don't speak spanish. Take her class as a last resort. I wish i would have checked rate my professor before enrolling in her class. Majority of this class is also online.
She's so adorable and super helpful if you just ask. There's a lot of online homework (this is a hybrid class), but you get full credit just for doing it. The tests aren't difficult if you study, but the group projects were annoying. Anyway, don't take the hybrid class if you never took spanish before, unless you're a native speaker.
Stacy Jazan is very passionate about teaching Spanish. She is also very funny. It is my first time taking a foreign language, and Dr. Jazan doesn't speak English AT ALL. She speaks Spanish at least 95% of the time, which made it a very difficult and stressful class. I don't recommend this professor at all.
This class was extremly difficult. every home work was online and she has her settings on the highest lvl so anything up to a comma that is misplaced makes the entire awnser wrong. I speak spanish at home and took three years and highschool... it wasnt enough for me to do well she is way to hard and many people ended up dropping
This class is WAY too hard for beginning Spanish. I got lucky for speaking Spanish before hand but even then it was hard. If you come in not knowing ants panfish get prepared to suffer. She's nice but expects us to know too much. Could be more helpful at explaining things. Wouldn't take.
I took her Hybrid class. I don't recommend this class for people who work or have a lot of units. This class isn't hard but she gives out a RIDICULOUS amount of HW & groups projects! She would hand out different due dates each week for all the work that was due!!! She's also very strict with attendance so make sure you don't miss her class.
She's a good teacher who genuinely wants her students to learn. As a Hispanic student I was able to keep up with her lectures, which are primarily in Spanish. If you have no prior knowledge of the language this is probably not the best teacher for you- you will definitely struggle. Projects are relatively simple and homework is all done online.
I took Prof. Jazan for both 101 and 102. Her 102 hybrid is a little intense for a working student with other classes, as she assigns TONS of homework and 2 group projects. That being said, she gives incredible opportunities to make up your missing work and she is one of the kindest and most understanding teachers I have ever had.
Prof Jazan will try her best to help you succeed, but you need to put the work in. Her goal is to teach you to the point that you sound like a native speaker. She does move quickly, but her lectures are very clear and she gives out study guides and worksheets to help you on the tests. I recommend her to anyone who actually wants to learn Spanish
If you're looking to get a solid foundation in Spanish, then this is the class for you. The class is taught in Spanish, which is actually a positive. It's like being immersed in a Spanish country where you are challenged to understand and speak Spanish. Dr. Stacy Jazan has always been available to help outside of class as well. She's great.
She is such a gem! She is very passionate about what she's teaching and has a very clear understanding of what she expects! She is happy to help every student succeed and is available for help whenever needed! Study her lectures and read and you'll be fine!
Dra. Jazan is one of the best professors I had at GCC. Took her for 101 and then for 102 hybrid. She was so nice and patient and supportive of me, and I went to see her a lot in office hours. She always gives study guides and is really clear with instruction. We had lots to do online but hey! the class is 5 units and hybrid!
Stacy Jazan is the best professor/ teacher I have ever taken a course with! She is the most supportive person and goes out of her way to ensure that you feel good and understand everything going on! I would certainly recommend you take a class with her! She is very kind and caring! Easy A if you learn easily.
Stacy Jazan is the most amazing instructor that I have ever come across. She is the kindest and most caring woman that I know. I took 101 and 102 with her and they were the easiest and most fun classes that I have taken! So lucky to have her!
Great teacher! Offers extra credit often and will sometimes except late work if there is a legitimate excuse. Class is well balanced between assignments and test and she keeps it interesting with games and other group activities
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!! This woman is an absolute angel who cares about every soul. She will go above and beyond to help you understand the material and ultimately succeed. I love her so much
A. M. A. Z. I. N. G.!!!!!!!! TAKE HER! Shes the most kind and genuine person ever. Love her so much
Absolutely incredible. Love her to death. Most caring person ever
Most kind, genuine, caring and inspiring woman out there. Love her so much!
She is very caring and will do almost anything from her end to make you pass. There are 2 exams, and the final. There is week;y homework, but it doesn't take much time. Tests are very straight up. Recommend her class!
She is very nice person, but being nice is not enough... She is terribly unorganized, doesn't know how to start the lecture, and takes attendance every chance she gets. Additionally, she gives tons of homework that doesn't have anything to do with the exams. The final exam is heavy. Overall, if you can find a better instructor, do not take Jazan.
Profesora Jazan is a knowledgable professor that will do anything to help her succeed. In this class you are mainly on your own. It's a bit confusing how her class is set up on canavs, there are way too many unnecessary files and finding homework assiggnments and quizzes can be hard to find. I just hoped that she would talk more spanish in class!
Professor Jazan is a gem at GCC. She is extremely kind and caring and she just wants the best for her students. This class does have a lot of homework, but its very easy if you just keep up with it. About 20 min a day of hw which is not bad for a 5 unit class. She is so supportive and helpful! Meet her in her office hours !
I love her shes understanding and compassionate towards her students.
She is the kindest person on this earth I swear. She cares so deeply about her students and is super understanding. She gives a lot of homework (should be expected from a 5 unit class) but it's super easy. Tests are also easy!
Dr. Jazan is the best professor at GCC ! ! I took her spanish 101 class. She is very knowledgeable, caring and very accessible. She makes you feel welcome the moment you enter the classroom. She is a fair grader, but you must attend class, take good notes and participate. Her tests are based on class lectures and homework.
Sra Jazan is awesome. She's very helpful, and kind. She likes to keep class light-hearted which is nice. She is pretty practical in understanding students are people with lives too. As long as you keep open communication with her, she is very considerate. She assigns consistent mindtap hw which can be a lot, but just make sure you prioritize it.
Amazing teacher. Some may complain that there is a lot of hw but its college what do you expect? She is understanding and caring and you will get an easy A if you do your work.
Professor Jazan is amazing! I'm a fluent spanish speaker, but I promise you guys this is a class you won't regret taking. She is very caring, funny, and will clarify any questions you may have. Highly recommend. also her spanish 101 course provides a free textbook for us broke college students :D
La Dra. Jazán si es una buena maestra porque le da muchas opprtunidades para haga la tarea y le habla a ella en su hora de oficina como va los estudiantes con la tarea de español. También la Dra. Jazán es muy chitosa con los estudiantes porque le hace la clase muy divertida durante el semestre. A mi me gusta como enseña la Dra. Jazán en la clase.
Mrs. Jazan is a passionate teacher. I could not have asked for a better teacher. She has a bubbly personality and is good at response time. She has office hours nearly every weekday. Homework is a normal thing but when learning a language that is not your own it is to be expected. The class i took was online, not in person but it wish it was.
She is so amazing! I recommend taking her especially if you are just learning Spanish. She is super understanding! As long as you stay on top of the homework and the quizzes you should pass. Her class is really easy and she makes class fun! You can earn extra points in class as long as you participate. She is the best professor! TAKE HER!
I took Prof. Jazan in online Spanish 101 and followed her to online 102. She is so organized and gives you a homework sheet for every chapter with due dates and links to assignments. She also sent us reminders! She is there for her students and quickly answers emails. She is caring for her students and definitely one of the best at gcc.
She's really sweet and nice and very helpful! I really enjoyed taking her class and it was very fun and the workload wasn't hard. Amazing professor!
She was great! I took Spanish 101 over a 5 week course in the summer. There was a bit of homework, but there was always enough time to complete it. I never worried about being unable to complete an assignment. She was quick to answer emails and very kind. The assignments were not difficult in any way. Loved her!
Took an accelerated winter course and man, 5 credits over 5 weeks is no joke. Thankfully Dr. Jazán was INCREDIBLY kind, very helpful, and made the spoken assessments as stress-free as possible, despite them being quite nerve-wracking going into them. One of the nicest professors I've had at GCC, bar none.
Professor Jazán is a very kind professor who does a good job at creating an amazing classroom environment, despite it being online. As someone who doesn't speak Spanish, she did a good job teaching the class and communicating. The workload can be heavy sometimes, but it is a 5-unit class; it consists of quizzes, discussions, and oral recordings
