Reviews of professor Mercedes Vargas

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
A lot of memorization. If you are good at memorizing you will probably get an A. Confusing teaching, so use outside sources to help u learn.

Be ready to be gaslighted by this teacher. She assigns a quiz before the lessons have been reviewed, and comes to class every day because she will not slow down at all. She is an older teacher, so the canvas page was disorganized, making it hard to find the lessons. Sorry if you have her. She is the worst and made the class harder than needed.

A BEGINNER spanish class and she throws everything at us and tells us to memorize things from canvas which is confusing and unorganized. A four hour class and only gives us 5 minute breaks. Some students speak no spanish and she overwhelms us and is all over the place with lessons. She gives us too much to learn and moves on without time to process

Profesora Vargas was an amazing teacher. Her classes isn't difficult but she does give A LOT of work. She really wants all her students to pass. She lets you turn in late work and do extra credit.

If this is your first time taking a spanish class I would advise changing to another professor. I already speak spanish and I took this class and at some points I was even lost. She is a very nice lady who cares about her students but her class is unorganized and sometimes we would have a quiz or test back to back without knowing.

Lots of tests each week. Expects you to memorize 40 vocabulary words each week and expects you to memorizes them that day. Test heavy, there are quizzes everyday, essays and doesn't have a proper grading scale. would not recommend this class

Prof. Vargas was my professor for Intro to elementary Spanish. Her attendance is mandatory; if you miss your class, you have to go to the next scheduled class for that day. She expects mistakes and respectfully corrects students when they make mistakes. The online workbook was a pain, but it wasn't too difficult. I would recommend this class.
