Prof. Fil is very nice and passionate about Spanish. She really does encourage everyone to do their best in the class. I think it is also very valuable the pacing of the course but I will say she is a tough grader on the HW which can be a little disheartening. However, I do think this course is valuable and important to take

The course was pretty light. In class time was very chill and relaxed. We solely practiced our speaking skills and did lots of practice with partners about the homework. A decent amount of time was spent on HW and you did have a quiz every week.

Professor Fil is so enthusiastic and super receptive to students' needs! I thought the workload was not too much but there was definitely homework due every class period. I think anyone who has a little bit of spanish experience would find this class helpful and maybe even enjoyable.
