The professor had a pretty thick accent, but overall it was an easy class. There was lots of reading, but for the most part I slept in class and skimmed the readings. There was no final for the class, but there was an 8 pg paper. I ended up with an A despite my lack of input.

i liked her. her accent was tough to understand. but it wasnt that horrible. She was a really nice lady that choose interesting topics. The readings were definitely tough, and you better read them before class. the midterm was easy if you prepare right but the final was a pain. its a 6-8 page take home essay. it was ok
take her and youll learn alot. shes always available and rally sweet
enjoy!

Pons might seem down to earth, but she is really a bad professor. Seriously, maybe two people from my 20 student class got an A. This is ridiculus considering that this class is really a spanish class and everyone who was in it is a native spanish speaker. Instead of raising my gpa it lowered it and I went to her office hours. So if you think you'll be getting an ez grade from this lady, think again. She will work you like a dog and in the end she'll throw you a chewed up bone.

Professor Pons is a great professor, she is very concerned about her students and encourages debating in class. She gives good grades, especially if she feels the student is involved in his work. There are a lot of readings, but very helpful for anyone interested in the topic. I would definitely recommend her!!
