Alla Fil

I felt that Professor Fil was a good teacher. She was very helpful in class when there were questions. However, the grading style was tough, and there were very high expectations on the assignments that were graded. Like any other language class here at Middlebury, this class was very time consuming.

while Connect and i still are not friends, this class improved my spanish a lot. we signed a language pledge early on to try and (mostly) enforce spanish speaking in the class. read "36-39: malos tiempos" and had group discussions on that, and also had a couple shorter essays. final included an oral quiz which was pretty relaxed. all in all was pleasant, enjoyed the class.

Alla is a very thoughtful and accommodating professor, and I learned a lot in this class. The course moves quickly and there is homework almost every day. It can feel like a lot, but the work is generally manageable and does a good job reinforcing what you learn in class. Class is very participation-heavy. Overall it is a fairly demanding course, but I felt like my Spanish improved significantly and would recommend taking it with her.
