Tufts University: SPN002 - ELEM SPANISH II - Spanish - Professor ratings, reviews and much more | JumboAccessReview:
Great professor as long as you keep up with the book. If you don't read, you won't learn. There is a lot of material to cover and you won't learn it all in class, but you do get a lot of practice if you speak up and participate. She is fairly flexible as long as you are trying, and is generally a very nice person.
Workload:
Straightforward assignments, just spend a 1/2 hour before class going over the day's material on the syllabus.

This is the worst class I've ever taken at Tufts. The woman doesn't teach! She's really sweet and concerned and all that, but that's what my grandmother is for. There is nothing in class that will help you on the exams, yet attendance is mandatory. When we compared our class grades to those in other Spanish II classes, we were consistently scoring twenty points below everyone else.
Workload:
A few quizzes, three exams and three essays. Don't expect any help from class.

"Penelope" as we called her was more like a lovable grandmother than a Spanish professor. She definitely had enthusiasm for the course, but Tufts is probably not the right place for her to teach. To learn the grammar, you had to read and study the book as lectures were very conversation centered. Although I enjoyed the semester, I probably would not take another class with this professor.
Workload:
You were expected to read the textbook and learn grammar on your own. Tests (about every 2-3 weeks) and final exam weren't difficult if you'd studied. There were several compositions over the course of the semester and rewrites were required. Workbook pages were due before every test.

Gabriela's really enthusiastic and a lot of fun - is more like one of the kids than a professor, makes things easy to learn. Makes sure the class spends time on stuff that's hard and breezes over less necessary and easier things as appropriate. The class was a lot of fun.
