This course was a good introduction to the Spanish department at Midd. That being said, It was pretty fast-paced and there was a lottttt of reading each night. We would learn new grammar and concepts on our own for homework and then she would go over them in class the next day instead of teaching us the new concepts, which worked for some and not for others. She is a bit of a tough grader but it's not bad, and there are always opportunities for extra points that go towards the exams. There was definitely a lot of conversation encouraged, which I feel is the most important part of learning a new language. She is also happy to meet with you one-on-one if you don't understand something. She's really kind and I would take a class with her again.

Prof doesn't really teach the content. You take notes outside of class and are expected to understand the grammar in class because you practice it but don't totally recap it. Class time is fast-paced and you need to talk a lot but honestly that's where most of the learning happens. A little wack that we were reading a book about the spanish civil war but weren't tested on vosotros conjugations but it's chill.

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
