Gloria Gonzalez Zenteno

Profe was very enthusiastic which made me excited to come to class. Classes were chill and had a high school feel to them, given that the majority of our activities revolved around us conversing with partners. My only grievance for the class is that 95% of our work was busy work. We had to do a "diario" which was a shared document with a partner. We were provided prompts to write about and were also tasked with responding to our partner's writing. I did not particularly find this beneficial to my learning. For our final project(s), we were asked to tap into our acting skills, and I feel as though we were graded more on our acting abilities than Spanish, given that we were also asked to memorize pages of lines for our final minidrama skit. Even with these minor annoying things, I really did enjoy the class, and would recommend it to anyone interested in pursuing Spanish/ continuing their learning in this discipline.

prof. Gonzalez Zenteno is a very enthusiastic and nice professor who likes to connect with her students but she requires a lot of unnecessary homework outside of class. Her classes are very fun and enjoyable, but the amount of busy time-consuming work takes away from the overall enjoyment of the class.

I felt that the class was not too difficult but Gloria made it extra and unnecessarily challenging. Before each class their was an annoying and unnecessary amount of questions you had to answer. You put your responses in a google doc which you then have to comment on your partners work. Since in a google doc it is not for a grade but she still checks to see if you do it. Instead of teaching content, it is expected you learn it on your own and then practice in class where she corrects you which I did not find effective to actually learning important foundational spanish concepts.
