I took Spanish 2 with Dr. Carla Suhr and it was a wonderful experience. I appreciated that Dr. Suhr corrected students’ pronunciation to the benefit of her students and the class. She made these comments in the most polite way, seamlessly adding to the conversation. Besides being a skillful communicator and Spanish professor, Dr. Carla Suhr is also a very kind person. I not only felt comfortable approaching her after and outside of class, but also enjoyed each interaction. I enjoyed Spanish 2 so much that I made sure to take Spanish 3 with Dr. Suhr as well.

I really enjoyed having Suhr as a professor, she cares deeply about her students and tries her best to help them. I really enjoyed attending classes and I would highly recommend attending them too. I do have to say that if you do not have a background in Spanish or a pretty good grasp on the subject matter in Spanish 2–whether you skipped it or took it a while ago–you will struggle with the class. Despite that, there are many resources to practice and I have faith that you can still do well in this class.

While taking Spanish 3, you will have 2 main concerns:

- vhl assignments: these aren't particularly hard, just a little a little bit of a hassle. Assignments are due by class time, which is a bit stressful if your course load is really heavy, but I'm sure you'll be fine if you get them done sooner rather than later.

- Exams: there are 2 parts of the exam, both done in person. The writing portion, is done online–currently, this consists of 3 free response questions. One were you go to a website in Spanish and answer questions using the information, another where you work with a partner to complete, and one that might involve responding to a prompt or watching a video. The oral exam takes 5 minutes and you will have 5 minutes before to prepare with your group (usually of 3-4 people) and respond to a prompt.

I really admire Profe Suhr. She's so fair and genuinely passionate about teaching Spanish. She goes out of her way to help students, especially with Spanish translations. Her office hours are incredibly helpful because she breaks down everything from the slides to ensure everyone understands, even repeating herself in English if needed. I've taken her class twice this quarter, and it's been fantastic both times. While there isn't much homework aside from readings, sometimes challenging to grasp, paying attention in class is crucial because she simplifies everything. Personally, I would've liked more homework to reinforce learning, but as long as you attend class, take notes, and review the slides, you'll excel.
