Laura Lesta Garcia

She's a passionate and caring proff (gives one metal health day to the class per sem where she cancels class) but the over all topic was a bit dull. these is only so much you can teach about rural spain. It also an insane about of reading and a LOT of discussion. A lot fo students BS it bc the topics tend to be the same.

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.
