This course was a good introduction to the Spanish department at Midd. That being said, It was pretty fast-paced and there was a lottttt of reading each night. We would learn new grammar and concepts on our own for homework and then she would go over them in class the next day instead of teaching us the new concepts, which worked for some and not for others. She is a bit of a tough grader but it's not bad, and there are always opportunities for extra points that go towards the exams. There was definitely a lot of conversation encouraged, which I feel is the most important part of learning a new language. She is also happy to meet with you one-on-one if you don't understand something. She's really kind and I would take a class with her again.

I really liked this class. very interesting discussions and Prof. Castaneda was very knowledgeable and passionate about the course and the material I really enjoyed the group projects. There are 2 papers, one final group project and an oral exam at the end which is quite daunting but I recommend this class overall.
Professor Castaneda is incredibly passionate about the content of this class and is incredibly accommodating. He helps each student feel comfortable speaking in class and is always willing to clarify anything that is unclear. The content is very intricate but invaluable for anyone looking to master spanish!
