Gloria Gonzalez Zenteno

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.

Gloria is really sweet and very passionate about her Mexican Heritage, which she brings into the classroom. The class is relatively fast paced and very heavy on talking in spanish. A drill is required along side this too. If you keep up with the homework and writing and regularly check in with her, you should do well in this class.

Gonzalez is an enthusiastic professor who teaches a good course that I felt prepared for after taking AP Spanish literature in high school. It prepared me well for intermediate II. Homework and quizzes were manageable.
