Laura Lesta Garcia
Lesta-Garcia is very nice and an engaging professor. I liked this class. Very discussion based, which was good to prepare for being abroad in Spain. Readings and movies were due every class, and there were papers and one presentation.
As my first 400-level Spanish class, I was quite intimidated at the start. However, the class was an engaging, chill class. It was a discussion-based class but in the end, I'm not sure actually contributing in class changed grades that much. She was very lenient on the final project grading and was a lenient grader overall. There were 6 required discussion posts across the semester, but they were not particularly challenging. Overall, great class and a great professor, would recommend.

Laura es muy simpática y prestaba mucha atención al bienestar de sus estudiantes. Por dos veces, hizo que las clases fueran opcionales porque quería aliviar nuestro estrés. El contenido del curso era muy fascinante también y me daba más profundo entendimiento de la cultura gallega.
