I would encourage taking Prof. Ildefonso. She makes class enjoyable and understands the difficulty in learning a new language. She doesn't teach over your head, very considerate of her students. Overall awesome teacher!
i got an a in her class! she helps you as long as you will let her and not be rude in the class. she is really nice and funny and a sweet person.
She is an awesome professor. I highly recomend her. I had her for my junior and senior year in highschool as well. She is an awesome and patient professor. She really makes learing another language easy and enjoyable.
loves to call on you and make you feel stupid and gives unreasonable finals that pull grades from B's to D's
I had Prof. for four classes and adored her! She is very helpful and loves to tell stories. Just make sure she keeps speaking Spanish and doesn't flip back and forth between spanish and english.
Best professor I've ever had. She's thourough but fair. I've learned more Spanish in her class than in all my years of high school.
Good teacher, love participation... alot of getting called on, but it helps you learn.
Best Spanish professor around, simple as that!
Doesn't want to help students that are behind, insults them, and tries to humilate them
Best Spanish professor I've ever had. She's tough but fair. Homework keeps you on your toes. Learned more from her than from any other professor. Because of her I've decided to major in Spanish.
Best language professor at CCC. I've taken this professor for two semesters. She is very knowledgeable and knows how to teach the material so that it is clear. I've learned so much with her. Definitely take her class if you're taking Spanish.
BEST DARN LANGUAGE TEACHER EVER! trust me you will agree!
I hated this class so much. I didnt want to be called on and I think she knew that and did it every chance she had. She actually taught to the other side of the class more than she did to the side I was sitting on. She was also very mean when you didnt understand something
fun teacher. made me like spanish. definately take her.
LOVED HER!!! Will take her next semester again.
Best teacher in the language department. She is very nice,bright, and speaks clear english. Gives alot of quizzes but they help you understand the material and they are very easy. if your taking spanish you should take her.
Professor Ildefonso is the best teacher ever! I had Spanish 101 with her, and going to have 102, 201 & 202, and cannot wait to start those calsses. She is very helpful, and understands that it not always easy to learn another language. All test and quizes she gives are fair, and cover the material she is talking about in the class. Really recommend
Many quizzes/tests, hw checked ~2 wks, 1 cultural project (in Eng) which is asked about during final. Everything outlined on syllabus given on day one- very helpful! No pop quizzes/tests. She wants you to do well. If you're not going to be there, email her, otherwise you won't be able to makeup work. Overall, good teacher, would recommend.
This teacher was great. She made you work hard, but it was well worth it. I learned so much, and yet it was fun while doing it. Shes a very nice woman.. always smiling! She grades awesome too, lowest grade I ever got was a 60 - and I didnt study! Would totally recommend her! The class was a good time.
Senora Ildefonso es fantastico! lol. She's really a lot of fun and a great teacher.
Very sweet professor. The work is definitely challenging if you struggle a bit at Spanish like I do, but at the end of the semester she gave me a decent grade, much better than I expected. You'll have fun if you're being more fluent in Spanish and love the language, if not, you may be a little freaked out in class, but she's a sweet lady.
I had to take this clas & had zero interest. Professor made this class fun and really makes sure you know what you are learning. No quizzes,& for oral test she informs you of what to know ahead of time. Very fair with grading if she knows you are trying. I would highly recomend her if you have to take spanish.
ugh expected to know the language before taking the class unless you were her pet..
GREAT! You have to work and do the homework, but she's fair and really knows her stuff. Explains things really well.
Profesora is the best. Only class I look forward to. She makes it so interesting and she will teach you all kinds of things besides the language, like history, culture, and stuff like that.
Seriously, you have to take her class. I learned so much Spanish, culture, history... She's amazing!
Profe is the best. Spanish class was the best part of the semester. She's interesting, explains things well, knows a lot about the Spanish countries. Will take her again.
Not that she isn't a great teacher, but I took the class online so I never met her. However the book is very unhelpful so unless you speak Spanish, don't take this class online, there's no learning. Luckily I already took 5 years of Spanish so I was able to get an A. No thanks to the Nexos 2nd ED however :(
She's amazing. I took her for two semesters and I wish there were more courses to take with her. Her class is interesting and you learn a ton. She also cares a lot about her students. She gave us these handouts that are soooo helpful for grammar.
Profa is the best she is bleary clear with every thing and she really cares about her students. She always tries to tie real life stuff into her classes. She is also really cool with the homework
Profe is the best. She interesting, funny, and she really explains things well. Has a lot of helpful handouts and she knows her stuff. I wouldn't take a spanish class with anyone else.
Excellent Prof! Spanish is Ildefonso's native language. Class is very fun and interactive. Pay attention, practice and do your homework, and you'll do well! She co-writes the departmental exams for the end of the semester.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ONLINE COURSE AT ALL. I would email professor and she would take a couple days to get back. Offered no help except to say study or go to tutoring center. it took her almost a month to post mid-term grades. an hour to take a 100 question final... crazy. 90 min. to take a 90 question final and write a 3 par essay. unrealistic
She's horrible. Stay as far away as you can from her. she expects you to know spanish as if you were native speaker just like her.
I loved Professor Ildefonso. She is so good at explaining things. I learned more this semester than any other. She is fair and interesting. MUST TAKE HER CLASS!
I love her. She is a great professor. Truly, the best one i've had. She is fair and explains things really well. TOTALLY RECOMMEND HER.
Took her last semester for 101 and have her now for 102. LOVE HER! She's great! Very helpful, knows her stuff and teaches really well, very clear. Gives many helpful handouts. Makes class enjoyable. Definitely TAKE HER CLASS.
Amazing teacher, valuable information. Great with students and professional, weekly assignments. Not a hard grader and a language expert. Quizzes and tests easy as long as you study and attend class.
When a student reaches out in the middle of a semester for help, a good educator does not just brush them off & tell them to wait & just do good on final. End of story. That's exactly what this professor did. College level or not, every student's different & a good educator does what she can to get students who are willing to where they need to be
I hadn't taken Spanish since High School, which was 7 years ago, and I signed up for the more difficult class. Stupid on my part, but she made the class really interesting and fun! I will be taking her again for Intermediate Spanish II. She likes to goof around and talk with the students. It's a nice environment and I always enjoyed going.
The Best!
Great professor. Will take her again. She knows her stuff and knows how to teach it!
best Spanish teacher i have ever had in my entire life. she is so nice, funny, and really sweet. she is very enthusiastic about the language and teaching. her class is VERY easy, even if you have ever taken a language before. do the homework!!! would definitely recommend her !
Enthusiastic, understanding, nice, and helpful. Professor Ildefonso is great! I have taken her twice and both classes were entertaining and enjoyable. There is no reason to receive a bad grade in her class unless you do not complete the homework or study at all. She likes for the students to participate which I feel helps the class overall.
Honestly, she's an amazing professor! Easy to understand and helpful!
Great professor! Take her! She is very passionate about Spanish and about her students. She's fair and I've learned a lot in her class.
I've taken her for 3 semesters now. I like that she is very clear and organized. First day of class you know exactly what you need to do to get a good grade. She gives a lot of helpful handouts for review and her grading is fair.
I've take profe for two semesters and I would recommend her 100%. She is amazing in class. She's funny, nice, interesting. I love the way she teaches and explains things. I would take her again if there was another level to take.
Profesora Ildefonso is one of the coolest/best professors I ever had. I only needed her class for credits, and I was super happy I took her class. If you sit in the front and participate she will notice. She is super caring and explains EVERYTHING. Online homework is really easy. If you pay attention and listen you will pass with an A.
Easy if you remember course work from Spanish 101. The class builds off of it but the majority of the class is spoken in english so its easier to understand.
LOOOOOVE HER!!! She is amazing. She explains everything. She really makes you want to learn Spanish. Learned more in her class than any other.
Definitely take her! I was dreading having to take a language and she helped me so much. If you participate and do your work, you will do well.
I've taken Profe for 2 semesters. When I started with 101 and then took her for 102 also. She knows her stuff. She really cares about her students. There's a lot of homework, but she is a fair grader. And she explains things really well. She's awesome!
I'm going to miss her so much! I took 102, 201, and 202 with her. I actually LOVED going to her class. She is smart, funny, and really explains things well. The whole class loved her. It was fun but we learned a lot. She gives weekly homework, chapter tests, no pop quizzes, and a study guide for the final exam.
Profe Ildefonso is one of the best professors I've ever had. I am not a language person, but I can't believe I got an A in 101 and 102. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't because the class was super easy. I studied a lot (like I said, I'm not a language person). But, she is EXCELLENT at explaining things. I highly recommend her!
Great professor. She's awesome! Easy to understand, fair, fun, great handouts. I took her two semesters and it was my favorite class.
I took her class online. It was great. Very convenient and easy to follow. You have to do the homework because of course you're not in class so it counts. She answered all my emails and gave feedback on my oral tests. I'll be taking 102 online with her next semester.
Great Professor. Totally recommend.
Fantastic prof, super sweet, awesome woman
She is an awesome teacher. I totally recommend her!
This is my third semester with Profe. If you're taking Spanish you should totally take her. She really knows her stuff plus she knows how to teach. I love her class!
I had Profe for 102 and 201 and plan to take her for 202 as well. She knows how to teach and is an easy class as long as you do your work! She is very nice and always willing to help, she isn't too tough of a grader. Her class is definitely fun and I learned so much. Highly recommend her for all levels of Spanish!
Awesome profesor. Knows how to teach. Fair grader. Fun. Loved her class.
Loved her!!! She knows how to teach and will help you understand. Will definitely take her again.
She is the best professor. She really cares for her students and gives great feedback. I really enjoyed her class. Lots of opportunities for extra credits. I will take her again next semester.
Awesome professor. This is my second class with her. She really cares about the students and she really knows her stuff. I like her lectures, they're easy to understand. I also like that she has really great handouts.
I took Spanish 102 online. She is so organized and each session tells you what to do. I really liked the program she uses online and she really made it easy to understand. You know exactly what you need to do and how you're gonna be graded. It's all spelled out from the beginning and I really appreciate that. She answered all my emails quickly.
I took profe ildefonso for two semesters. Then half way through the second semester covid happened. I swear, she was so awesome helping all of us. I would take her again and again.
She's the best! I had her in class and online. Will take her again. Super helpful. Just all around nice person.
She's an amazing professor. Really cares about the students and does all she can to help them succeed. I love her lectures. She's very clear and enthusiastic. She gives extra credit and her test are really fair. I always leave her class in a good mood, lol. Will definitely take her again.
Honestly, I don't know how I would have survived this semester without Prof Ildefonso. I've never taken online classes before and was forced to because of covid. She was sooooo helpful. Answered all my questions, recorded reviews for us. She was on top of everything. I am so thankful and would recommend her to everyone who needs to take Spanish.
The online course was very easy and a few modules were due weekly. The tests were also very simple and as long as you do the work it should be an easy A. She also provided really helpful study videos with her speaking and explaining concepts for the test.
She's beyond wonderful! One of my most favorite professors at CCC! She is a MUST TAKE if you want to learn well and pass your Spanish class!! Nice, polite, courteous, professional and thoughtful are my words for her! Having her as my professor for 2 semester was the greatest thing ever!
She is the BEST professor ever! I tell you this woman is so caring and nice and also an amazing professor. I would have never survived a Spanish online course without her. She really cares and goes beyond to help the students. She records these really helpful reviews. She answers all your questions and is nice about it. Class act all the way!
Professor Idlefonso's course was like most online language courses. Very easy to navigate and clear grading criteria. She also gives feedback on oral exams which is always nice. Definitely take this course.
This professor is the best and I'm not exaggerating. I had a bad time in 101 with another professor and then I took 102 with profe ildefonso. Let me tell you this woman is such a good teacher. Even online she takes the time to give you powerpoints and recorded explanations that help sooooo much. She is alway so nice and encouraging. THE BEST!
Loves her Spanish classes, as long as you do your work and study you should be good. Remember you are learning a new language it takes time.
Prof Ildefonso is a tough grader. Personally, I have done much more than I should. Ive showed up for class, did homework, studied, reached out to classmates, & even got a tutor! Still, thats wasnt quite enough for her. If this is your first time in Spanish, DONT CHOOSE! The class is taught as if you already know the language, NOT learning.
LOVE Profe Ildefonso! She's amazing. The best Spanish teacher I ever had. She really explains things in a way that it's easy to understand and she gives you a lot of powerpoints and handouts that are really helpful. I never thought I could get an A in Spanish, but I did.
Profe Ildefonso is the best. I took Spanish 101 with another professor because of ratings, but I was wrong. That other professor is so fake and has favorites. I took profe ildefonso for Spanish 102 and I wish I would have taken her for both semesters. She's an amazing teacher and very helpful and kind.
I had a very difficult semester and I couldn't have done it without profe. She really cares and I always had her support through the whole time. She's the best.
Didnt really care for this class all that much. It was an hour and 15 mins yet it felt way longer than that because it drags on a lot. The homework is very long and repetitive. The tests were unnecessarily long . She herself was nice enough and somewhat reasonable. She explained things. Overall I just didnt like her class. Wouldnt take it again.
Great professor. She's awesome! Easy to understand, fair, fun, great handouts and PowerPoints. You know when everything is scheduled from day one. It was my favorite class.
This is my first class with Profe Ildefonso and I will definitely be taking her next semester. I highly recommend her! She explains everything very well and really cares about her students. She is always willing to help and she will give you a second chance if you need one. You can tell that she loves what she does!
The class was challenging as any new thing is, however Profesora works with you and not against you! It asked would I take the class again and my answer is yes, only with a lot more time and not for a grade. This class was great, choose it.
Had her online class for SPA 101 and she was very kind and responsive to emails. Class is super easy you just take tests and have online video assessments which are so easy.
Easily one of the sweetest professors I've ever taken. She is extremely knowledgable as her home country is Spain. Will accommodate any student for any reason. Is a fair grader. Supportive during presentations as well! Ildefonso is awesome.
good intro professor
Such a great professor. Really caring. Explains things really well. Helpful powerpoints. Grades fairly.
Excellent professor! Would definitely recommend!
I took an online course with Profe Ildefonso and she was the best! She communicates everything very clearly. She answers all your emails. Very organized format. Lots of tutorials and PowerPoints to help you study. It was my best experience online out of all my classes.
She's an awesome professor! She's kind and fair with all students and very helpful. I would totally take her again
Her class is easy to follow. She has great PowerPoints. She answers emails right away and is approachable. I highly recommend her!
I took Spanish 101 with another professor and I had such a difficult time and terrible experience. I took prof. ildefonso for Spanish 102 and what a difference!!! This has been such a great class. She's very clear and explains things so that we can all understand it. You always leave class feeling like you really get things. I highly recommend her!
Best professor i ever had!
She really helps you and gives you every opportunity to succeed. I love her PowerPoints. She makes Spanish easy to understand. She's a fair grader. We all loved her class.
Cares about her students and grades very fairly.
This is my 2nd semester with profe ildefonso. She is awesome. She teaches in a way that makes Spanish easy to understand. She has great powerpoints that she posts so you can go back and study from them. She's fair and she cares. I definitely recommend her class! and this is coming from someone who never posts on here. Definitely take her.
Honestly, she really cares about her students. She teaches really well. She knows her stuff. She has great powerpoints that are available for students to go back to. I totally recommend her.
Sub-par compared to every other Spanish teacher I have ever had.
Ildefonso is a caring professor who explains concepts well. The class is manageable with helpful PowerPoints and fair grading. unstuck AI was a lifesaver for study prep alongside the textbook.
I took 101 with Profe Ildefonso. I took Spanish in high school and struggled but with her I learned so much! She's really clear in her explanations and uses PowerPoints and a lot of helpful activities. I recommend her totally!
This is my second semester with Profe Ildefonso. I will miss her classes and her! She's so caring! She gives you every opportunity to succeed and really tries to help everyone. She's the best both as a person and as a teacher!
It always helps when you have a great professor! I wasn't too good with languages but she's such a good teacher that I was able to get an A. Totally recommend her!
Loved Profe Ildefonso! I recommend that you take her. She's so fun and so nice. I really enjoyed her class!
I had Profe Ildefonso for two semesters. She was amazing and she cares so much about her students. I actually asked her for a letter of recommendation and she not only wrote it right away, but she sent me this really nice email. She totally remembered me and even my birthday. I've never had a professor that took so much time for her students.
Great professor! She explains everything so clearly. She has lots of helpful PowerPoints. She's fair and she's nice. A real gem!
Profe Ildefonso is a gift. I had taken Spanish in high school as well as in college, but she has been the best Spanish professor I've had thus far. She really cares about her students and their success and makes learning a new language as painless as possible.
I've taken profe Ildefonso for two semesters and she's amazing! She really cares about her students, explains things clearly, and provides great PowerPoints for review. She's a fair grader and always willing to help. I've learned so much and truly enjoyed her class!
Great professor! love the way she teaches. I didn't really like my professor last semester. But profe Ildefonso has really made a difference for me. She really explains things. Something I really like about her class is that she teaches something and then we always do some practice activities in the classroom so we're sure we understand everything.
I can't say enough nice things about profe ildefonso. i know that i only got a C in this course but if you knew me you would know that's a miracle and I owe it all to profe. She is such a great professor! but mostly, she is so kind and understanding. I suffer from a lot of anxiety and she helped me so much this semester.
Great Professor! I don't normally rate professors but I really wanted to rate profe ildefonso because she's so amazing! Her class is really straight forward. She has great powerpoints for review. She knows what she's doing and the way she teaches I think is very helpful. She definitely cares about her students! You should definitely take her
One of the best professors I've had the pleasure of being taught under. Professor Idelfonso is such a kind soul, and I would take her for every Spanish class there is. The work can be difficult at times, but she is extremely patient and always ready to answer questions. She is always understanding of any issues that arise. Please take her!!
She's excellent!
She's excelent! I definitely recommend her! I like that her class is not just straight lectures she explains things and then we do activities to make sure we understood. She's really nice too.
