Reviews of professor Ariel Ferrin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof. Ferrin was always super accessible whenever a student needed help. She was super understanding when I had health issues during the semester and was always willing to work with me and help me out. The class is definitely a lot of work and a challenge.

This is a solid spanish class. The majority of class is spent in breakout rooms discussing what was read in the textbook. Expectations and grading are clear. She is able to clearly explain difficult concepts and gives great examples, but unfortunately most of class is spent in groups with other students instead of being taught by her.

Professor Ferrin is a great teacher, her spanish is immaculate for not being a native speaker and she is very genuine and kind. That being said she is one of the tougher graders for this course and will make you work for your grade. There's homework after every class and attendance and participation is mandatory.

She's a lovely professor, very caring about her students and the subject matter. She wants to help you and to improve your skills in Spanish and does it in a caring way. She's also understanding about individual circumstances and potential miscommunications.

At the beginning of the course I was nervous since I was the only non RM in the class, but professor Ferrin helped boost my confidence and was super helpful in all the feedback she gave me.  She responded to emails super fast and helped make things easy to understand.  Her assignments were all straightforward and overall it was a great class.

Profesora Ferrin was honestly a really great teacher. Teaching online was tough and there were often times where we had awkward, 5 minute long breakout rooms, but she did great. She is very straightforward so if you just listen to the instructions she gives and study what she says to study you will get an A in the class.

Great and interactive teacher. Easy grader, usually if you get a bad grade on an assignment you can email her and she will usually raise the grade. The textbook used for this course is interactive, and has a mix of easy readings and quizzes and difficult readings. Overall it was a fun class and if you love Spanish I highly recommend it.

I enjoyed Professor Ferrin's class because I learned so much more about Spanish culture and the unique ways hispanics express themselves through literature and art. I was also able improve grammar skills. Her Spanish was easy to understand, but I do wish she spoke a little faster, as I would have felt more challenged and immersed in the language.
