  They were very easy but attendance is mandatory which sucks sometimes because the lectures arent that useful majority of the time. They are very understanding and I would definitely have them again if I could.

  Professor didn't answer a single one of my emails over the whole semester. U might as well just go look up random Spanish vocab lists, as they'd be entirely more helpful than the lectures. Mandatory attendance but 90% of the class is painfully useless. If u would like to receive grades back in a course, go somewhere else. Id rather learn mandarin

  Class was so easy and extremely manageable. No tests at all just online quizzes that are open note and you get 3 attempts, and a final project and paper (very easy). The lectures are helpful but the online quizzes are over a video not the lecture. She was so nice and I enjoyed her class a lot and would definitely recommend her to anyone

  Nieves Rivera is great professor. A lot of the 1103 class is studying vocab and learning to write well in Spanish. She makes sure you understand the material and is very interesting to talk to. Highly reccomend

  They do a fantastic job of keeping you engaged. Works with your schedule and accepts late work. Is very generous and reasonable with deadlines. No exams! Just a final project where they are available to help and answer as many questions as you need!! Loved talking about real world instances and examples of grammar and overall is a great class!
