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.

Summer 2018 - This is one of those classes where you don't meet the instructor and everything is conducted by your TA. My TA was Madison Panagotacos (I think that was her last name...Madison for sure) and she was great. I took 4 years of Spanish in high school and considered it to be a strength of mine, but it had been 3 years since that before I took this class. Even so, everything came back pretty quickly and it wasn't difficult at all. But this is because I was proficient enough to not have to take Spanish 1 and 2 at UCLA, so that probably contributed to my performance in the class. There were a lot of people with different speaking and comprehension abilities in the class and Madison was well aware of it. She made herself very available for anyone who needed extra help. There are a lot of annoying homework assignments in this class but it's just busy work, nothing is actually difficult. That would be my only complaint for this class. Otherwise very easy and fun.
