Reviews of professor Heather Beal

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Profesora Beal is so understanding and funny. She is so helpful and really wants you to succeed. Her classes were always the highlight of my Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. BTW if you do take her class... answer everything with que hora es? And youll do just fine :)

This was one of the worst summer classes i have ever taken. Disregarded the syllabus, had zero lectures, never answered emails until DAYS later, graded VERY harshly for no reason, and gave no study guide for the oral exam. I took three years of spanish in high school was good at it/loved it, but this prof truly made me hate spanish :(

Abandoned the class early in the semester leaving us to learn 100% on our own, with an impossible workload (50+ assignments due every 4 days + videos, quizzes, writing). Gave no feedback for anything. Didn't supply a study guide for oral exam. I was so excited for this class, and I'm so disappointed with how little she seemed to care about it.

I just wrapped up our accelerated summer class. It was rough. Not because of Professor Beal though. I month for a 3 credit class in a foreign language for me was a challenge. I did well mostly because Professor Beal was extremely clear with her teaching and helped out whenever there was a tough topic or concept I was struggling with. Recommend!!!!

She is funny, creative, and really does want to see you succeed. She keeps it real with you, and is always willing to find a solution, but if you are lazy she stands her ground. She respects you if you're willing to work for it, and really values participation in her class. Getting things wrong is okay as long as you try with her. She cares so much

Very passionate about her job, wants you to succeed! Mrs. Beal was super nice and very helpful. She loves the office and makes many references which help make class fun. If you don't understand something, she is more than happy to help you. I had no knowledge of Spanish going in and would def take her class again.

This class was just ridiculous. The professor was not helpful and was harsh on grading. We never received any type of study aid or guide for the Oral exam. The work load was heavy and literally too much. I recommend you just not take it.

Take Heather if you need Spanish. She will help you in any way she can. Super funny too. She teaches you absolutely everything you will be tested on. VHL homework is a lot but she even took some off for us!
