Spring 2024 - Honestly could not have had a better Spanish 3 professor. For context, I was aiming just to get a C so that I could pass my spanish requirement, and I even enrolled in a community college course over the summer just in case I failed. And I ended up with a B+. This professor is extremely nice, welcoming, and she grades fairly. If you just try in this class and do the work assigned you will pass and learn a lot. I would recommend this professor to anybody trying to get their spanish requirement done.

Spring 2025 - Your experience in this class will depend entirely on your TA. My TA was Estefania. She always told us that our class had the highest attendance compared to the other Spanish 3 classes and it's not hard to see why. Estefania's energy and enthusiasm for teaching made this classroom such a welcoming environment. She made me feel like she genuinely cared about my learning and the success of each one of her students. I also found her feedback on the assignments helpful in improving and she prepared us well for future assessments. I would highly recommend Estefania! Each week you will have about 2-4 hours of homework on the VHL site. Some of the VHL assignments were too long and tedious but on the whole, they did a good job of teaching basic grammar skills and content. If your knowledge of Spanish 1 and 2 is rocky, you might want to review grammar and vocab skills before starting this course. This class dives straight into Spanish 3.
