She's an excellent professor!
No Comments
Professor Parada is a excellent teacher. She teaches very well. If you're dumb then you wont understand what she's teaching but she explains everything in details and makes sure her students understand. I loved her class so much that i'm going to take it again for Spanish 2. The best teacher.
Teacher is totally not intereted in the class. She is unorganized. You make get through this class with an A, however - you won't learn a thing. She tends to put things off until the last minute and drops alot of work on you to have to catch up.
She's an amazing teacher!

Hot as Hell for an older lady but I was also glad to get the knowledge. Alot of repetative work though. But shes cool.
I adore Sra. Parada! She's got tons of patience with the students and she explains everything very thoroughly and clearly. I love this class!
excelente

eazy A... Tells you all the answers to the test and quiz...
Ms. Parada is very creative. She knows how frustrating and difficult is to learn a new language. She creates a lot of games and fun in her classrooms. We even learn songs and watch spanish novellas. Too bad, she had a tragedy in her family, and we had to miss couple of classes. I wish to see you smiling and happy again, Ms. Parada!
Caring, helpful teacher. Really good at explaining Spanish. Very good at explaining why you use certain rules and giving you easy ways to remember things. She also is constantly using creative tools like songs, videos, and pictures to teach the language. She really cares about her students, and is extra helpful to non-native speakers. TAKE HER!!!
professor parada is the best teacher in LACC, Don't take professor bae or morin, both professor are very difficult to work with, professor parada gives all her students A's and B's. easy class if you follow up with her class work and homework, I haven't seen anyone in her class fail. A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Exelent teacher. Very nice and as creative as they say (everyone dance... seriously... we made pinatas too). A fun class.
This teacher is great!!!! she is very fun and intresting she is very helpful, kind and nice take her she's cool i give her an A+++
In the beginning I didnt really like her because she just kind of weirded me out, but shes really grown on me. She is very creative and is extremely good at what she does. I would have never thought that in 8 weeks I would go from barely being able to order a burrito to speaking, reading and writing fluent spanish. I highly recommend her :)
I hated spanish when i took it in high school, but she made it definitely tolerable, which says a lot! A great teacher who keeps the class interesting and fun. She is very helpful. I 'd recommend her to anyone.
Great instuctor. She teaches Spanish very well and cares that you learn. But, she gives a lot of work. Over all she is very easy. I highly recommend her.
She is a nice teacher. If you do every homework you are assigned, you will easily get an A.
One of the best professors in LACC trust me you will not regret taking her!! Her class is full of laughter and fun!! First class I have ever taking at college, that I actually miss not going to it again!
Great teacher. Lots of homework which is good because you learn the language faster. Show up and dp the work and yo uwill get an easy A.
Great instructor, lots of homework.But of coarse if you do the homework you will do good on the tests. Prada is pretty too.
Great teacher. Not hard to look at either.
If you want to learn spanish, take parada
Prof Parada is adorable, she reprimands slackers in the kindest way. She is sincere about wanting everyone to love and learn spanish. She expects students to attend, she assigns lots of homework. It was a fun class and my easiest A so far, despite not being very good at speaking spanish if you do the work she assigns you can get good grades.
Prof.Parada is super hot. She explains everything clearly and is always willing to help.I am not a native speaker, but learned so much from her. Best teacher @ LACC! Highly recommended!
Great instructor,very helpful and understanding,gives lots of work from the workbook,tests are based on the work book,she will also tell you what you need to study for the exams.
Ms. Parada is great. I loved this class. She gives a lot of homework, but calls it "love". Hehe. Very helpful and nice. You'll have to try super hard to fail her class. Loved it and returning again for Spanish 2.
You MUST do your work to pass her class. You also MUST attend class because there is classwork that is turned in during class and also interactive exercises that contribute to the class participation part of you grade. If you are unclear about anything, ask either the professor or another student who understands her because she has an accent.
Yes, Mrs. Parada is very easy to look at, very easy to get along with and a very good teacher. Yes, she gives lots of homework, but that is how you learn a language. She does all she can to make you happy.
her class is very easy although she does assign a lot homework(easy homework)all the answers are in the textbook
Great Professor! She's a lot of fun and fair. Helps you to understand by explaining in a way that is comprehendible to everyone! I would highly recommend her for beginners.
The best teacher at LACC!Que mas puede pedir City College! Her tutor, Jose is great!!!
I must say that she assigns a lot of homework but it's only to help you. She is a wonderful teacher.. and she will take her time to make sure you get every concept. I HIGHLY recommend her! I don't speak spanish and I came out with an A for the semester. Also, she would work with you about absences.
Very nice person and a good teacher. Don't be scared by the amount of homework. The class was always fun and I felt her grading system was fair.
Senora is a great teacher. Pretty lady and pretty voice. She explains the course extremely thoroughly. She gives out ALOT of homework and in-class work, as well as singing songs and watching movies. We also do ALOT of oral speeches, including a poster presentation, which is very fun actually. Her exams are simple, as she gives out a study guide.
Everyone's favorite teacher! We love you, Mrs. Parada! Lots of homework, but remember, SHE has to grade that homework. She gives HERSELF work when she gives work to you. Also, a total babe. I am a straight woman but would not mind being a man so I could hit on her. I would guess she does not spend her evenings at political meetings?
I loved her class. she gives a lot of homework. besides teaching the language, she also teaches it's culture. she's pretty darn hot too.great professor to have. no regrets.
She is a really good professor no doubts. She teach and express herself really clear and also she would help you so much. Trust me easy A. Well if you do your workbooks and labs.. Take her class trust me you would't regret it at all. I guarantee you.
Wonderful teacher! 100 STARS 4 Ms. Parada! I learned so much in her class. Although, I am a native spanish speaker I improved my grammar & learned especially how to use does famous accent marks properly! She is very sweet and really cares about her students! Great handouts, homework's & great environment. Many blessings to her : ) : ) : )
Excellent Professor!If you want to learn take her!
She is amazing. Best teacher I have ever had! She is also super attractive!
She's really animated and a good teacher. Some of the students who had her for Span 1 are having a hard time keeping up in the class though. I'd recommend her overall. She's really nice.
fun,fun,fun!! she's very helpful and makes spanish look so fun. As a spanish speaker this class was a piece of cake. However, i know that sonmne students had a bit of hard time. but if you do your work and attend class there shouldnt be a problem :) im going to miss her
She is an amazing professor,very helpfull and classes were fun and interesting. Really recomend.
Very fun class. Easy A. It was not a challenging class. Though it was my favorite class.
She's awesome! Take her. The class is very time consuming, but you actually learn a lot! I love you Ms. Parada!
Prof. Parada classes and games were fun. Prof. Novoa needs to change the teaching style..too boring, but she was nice.
No doubts: the best teacher at LACC and also the hottest!!!!
Professor Parada is a cool teacher. Only downside is that when you ask her questions she can be rude. She gives you a face as if you're suppose to know the answer. She also rolls her eyes at students when they ask a simple question.... So other than her being rude she's "okay"....
THE BEST OF THE BEST AT LACC AND SUPER HOT
She is excellent, 100% for Prof. Parada and also the hottest!!!!!!
A wonderful first Spanish professor. I took her class over the winter having never taken Spanish before; she did a wonderful job of explaining everything and making it clear to understand. If you show up on time and do the work you're supposed to (which isn't a whole lot), you'll be fine. I highly recommend her.
I took Spanish 1 with her during Spring semester. She is one of the best professors in LACC. She is funny and very helpful. Class was never dull. She gives you three free passes during the semester that can be used for homework, attendance, and the lab work.
The best Spanish Professor al LACC
Best Spanish teachers in LACC. Just show up in class and you'll pass
I have to say she is one of the best spanish professors in LACC. If you're planning to take spanish 1, take her!!
THE BEST OF THE BEST AT LACC
I was very intimidated at the beginning and I did not even know what personal pronouns were, Professor Parada inserted magic in my brain, I love Spanish now and planning to continue. Prof. Parada is the best at LACC. From 0 now I consider myself 8, from knowing the poquito and taco now grammarvocb.
I learned a lot, very impressed of myself. This professor is AMAIZING. HOT HOT HOT
Easy Spanish class if you already know spanish. If not her teaching style may confuse you and you may get lost. Good professor my only complaint is sometimes it seems like she's in a bad mood and she gets annoyed if you ask a lot of questions. She's also kinda sassy. But her tests are straightforward. Would take her again for spanish 1.
I loved this professor. She explains everything perfectly and does not mind any questions. Definitely worth taking if you want to learn and get a good grade.
She is beautiful and amazing, sometimes, she rolled her eyes, but still she is beautiful. She is the soul of the Foreign Language Department and her smile is always there: at the hallways, in the classroom, in her office, in herself. Take her, you will not regret it, also she is physically beautiful.
Simple: THE BEST!!!!
TAKE HER IF YOU WANT TO LEARN THE LANGUAGE I took this professor Spring16@Night Uses the book's online code for HW BUT gives an option to do HW packets for those who can't afford it. Gives 2-3 major credit opportunities worth 25 points. 4 tests, 3 HW assignments & 2 group projects (all worth 50 points each)&EASY daily class work (10 points each)
This woman is the best professor at LACC
Awesome if you want to actually understand spanish!!!
Attendance is mandatory, just let her know you won't be in class and you can make up the work by giving her 1/3 coupons she gives you. The exams are very easy, STUDY THE STUDY GUIDE. do the homework! Do the Spanish lab assignments and you will pass with an A! She is very nice and gives good feedback and wants you to pass and understand the class
Parada is a very reasonable professor that allows you to grow as a student, she is always accessible and answers her emails. She will work with you in order for you to pass her class, she cares for her students.
She is the best Spanish prof . For English only speaking shes really good at helping to understand and she gives extra Credit . The study guide is exactly the same as the test .
Professor Parada is a beautiful woman! Her lectures are great and she's always clear about what she wants from you in her assignments. Easy class! 2 one pg compositions, and a bunch of worksheets that you purchase at the book store, but very easy worksheets! BUT she may be rude at times and seems kind of bothered if you ask questions!
She's nice, clear and caring. Make sure to go to class because of daily class work. Tests are exactly what she goes over, you just need to study on your own. She is available in her office A LOT! She gives enough extra credit to change a C to an A. I only received my current grade because I was never in class and never spoke to her outside of class
No need to purchase book. Group projects will happen. The class was only 1x a week and sometimes weekly work was given every day. Very fun!! Very open, and we always tended to sit in a circle. You learn people's names quick, and if you need any other help, she or another Spanish tutor is available in the Spanish lab. No e/c cause work is easy/fun
A great professor is you're willing to do the work required to learn a language.
Profesora Parada is amazing. An A is very possible. She gives slid of extra credit opportunities. The only criticism I have of her class is the amount of time she gives to do class work. Be aware she assigns class work toward the end of class, which can possibly make you late for your next class. Other than that she is superb. 4.9/5
Professor Parada is the best Spanish professor I ever had. She is very beautiful, kind, and helpful. Her Spanish language and accent were amazing. She is very impressed of my Spanish voice. Her tests were easy. She assigned us tons of homework but at least I learned a lot. She is easy! Take her as long as you know Spanish.
shes the best and very caring towards her students
She is really sweet and caring! And wants to make sure everyone gets the lectures! She is there to help in anything!
this class is straight up FUN. she gives great real-time feedback during conversational exercises. warning, if you are shy this might be a little hard! but you'll warm up. there are lots of skits, group projects, and funny improv things to do in order to get you speaking! i like her a lot. she can be slightly disorganized at times but nothing major
She is a great and understanding professor. If you grew up speaking Spanish, then your chances of getting an A are very high.
Profesora Parada is wonderful. She is invested in her students doing well and will take time to help you if you need it. There is a lot of homework and the textbook kind of sucks, but she offers extra credit. If you do the work you will be fine. I will definitely take her for Spanish 2.
Prof. Parada is so great that I didn't hesitate to take her Spanish 2 class this summer after taking Spanish 1 in the Spring. I may even take Spanish 3, just because of her! She truly cares about her students and makes learning Spanish easy, even for someone who has never spoken it before, like me. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Provides multiple modes of learning, readings, media and lectures. There are many visual examples to coincide with the readings. She provides many examples and is available to ask questions about the material.
Professor Parada is one of the best professors out there. Her lectures weren't boring and were informative. You have 5 exams, a couple of compositions, and 5 bluebooks. For assignments, the textbook provides a website where you would do all the assignments. Overall, the class is pretty easy if you put effort into it.
This is one of the most fun professors for Spanish that I have ever taken. Keep up with her work and trust me you will be ok. Dont hesitate to ask for help because she always responds. She makes class so interesting and you will definitely learn so much. She is so encouraging! Take this class if you want to learn Spanish.
Profesora Parada is by far the best teacher I have had in years! She is kind, she is helpful, she doesn't mind questions or going back and reviewing. The class is challenging yet made easy by profesora Parada. If you want to pass Spanish and have fun doing so, take her class. You will NOT regret it.
Professor Parada's spanish class was so easy and there are many homeworks but it's easy and you'll pass. If I were you go to her class it's one of the best.
She is a very kind professor, she helps out with anything. Ask her for help and leniency on deadlines. Easy A. But lots of homework on VHL and essays and recording short videos, so it can get tedious every week if you fall behind. Learning Spanish is made easy to learn in this class, Quizlet helps out a lot.
I stayed because the material was interesting but professionally she is a mess. Constantly mispronounces things in both English and Spanish as she reads verbatim off her slides in recorded video lectures. I felt disrespected by how many spelling and grammar errors she made over and over again. Pumps students through & collects her paycheck. : /
She is an excellent instructor! I'm not sure what the other person is talking about, but the videos she used didn't have any accent and everything was very clear. She gave quick feedback and lots of extra reading and information. I think the class is great, an easy A if you watch the lecture videos!
The best professor I ever have had, she is so caring and she even helps us in the Language Lab. I do not understand why some students can say negative things about this professor when she is always willing to help no matter how busy she is being a director of the whole department.
Professor Parada's class is a gem! The workload may seem daunting, but with her guidance and tools like Unstuckstudy, you'll breeze through it. Don't miss her engaging lectures - they're worth it.
