Reviews of professor Ofelia Ferran

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Ofelia is a wonderful person and a great teacher. She's funny, kind, and the topic of this class is really intriguing and important whether you're a major or a minor. It was a perfect addition to my Spanish career. The movies are fascinating and though the readings were at time too long to realistically complete at once, she summarizes well. Great!

She was fine, nothing spectacular. She tried to help but often went overboard and wasted our time. She was my thesis advisor so I guess that went with the territory. She is from Spain which is not a plus, so her grammar corrections were often not useful. You mostly have to be on yourself if you get the work done or not. She won't hound you.

Ofelia is an incredibly caring professor and values what you contribute in class. She is passionate about the content she teaches and tries to engender that same passion in her students. I really enjoyed the in class discussions she lead and a couple of movies we watched. Some readings are lengthy. Essays are graded fairly easily.

You will not know your grade until it is finalized at the end of the semester. I do not like that at all. She was fine but she doesn't use the school website at all. You get one copy of the syllabus on the first day and don't you dare lose it because you can't get another one.

Get ready to never speak English again. Some professors say "no English in class" but she enforces it like a crazy person and she speaks a million miles an hour. If you don't understand her, she won't care and she won't slow down. Just nod your head and smile. She also doesn't use Canvas, and I didn't find out my grade until the end of the semester
