Reviews of professor Maria Lazarus

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Her study guides contain none of the actual material on the test. Makes learning Spanish so much harder than it is, if you zone out you will be left behind so quick. "You are the master of your own disaster"- Lazarus

This class was okay. If you are not good at Spanish or don't get things very quickly, this class may be kinda tough. She requires you to have your cameras on at all times and she will randomly call on you every single class. Though after exams, she does try to give you some points back.

Prof. Lazarus is a good Spanish speaker but a horrible Spanish teacher. She expects you to know everything Spanish. When I joined the class I hadn't taken a Spanish class since my first two years of high school. I had completely forgotten the basics and needed a refresher but she never gave one. My advice go in with a good review of Spanish

In my opinion, Professor Lazarus expects a lot more from her students than any other Professor that I've had. Even though I had perfect attendance/did the homework, the exams/writing assignments brought my grade down. Overall, I did well considering I had never taken a Spanish class before this one, and only had a basic knowledge of Spanish. STUDY!

Worst Professor ever. Makes things overly complicated and there is no room for improvement. " Master of your own disaster" is all you will ever hear from her even if you email her with concerns. If you have her for a professor, either change the professor or drop the class.

 She's a native speaker but horrible at teaching spanish, and I KNOW spanish. her exams were online and the questions were so out of context that even i as someone who speaks spanish would get answers wrong. The way she teaches is just so bad, absolutely no qualification in teaching languages, and would lower the partic grade if you were late. nah

I studied very hard for this class and would still constantly get within the 70's on her assignments as did most of the class. She would also never give us good feedback on assignments as to why we were graded like that. She is always in a bad mood and gets annoyed with her students constantly. She is not willing to help you get a good grade.

This class was a mistake and I wish I didn't take spanish for my language requirement. She treated everyone like native speakers and didn't care that everyone was doing this because we had to and we were all in online classes meaning we couldn't deal with this further stress. All she did was add on with her meanness and those horrible RPNOW exams

Not the best at teaching Spanish when she barely knows English

Intermediate spanish 2 requires studying in general but Professor Lazarus teaches well. She tells you what's going to be on the test and quizzes so its fair game. She gives extra credit too and easy to get an A.
