Reviews of professor Mercedes Vargas

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The professor is very kind and wants everyone to do well in this class. She pushes you to learn vocabulary quickly which shouldn't be too much of a challenge since you have multiple days to practice. She accepts late work and gives extra credit for those who really want to do well. There is a lot to learn so you might have to keep up!

Takes this course very seriously and gives quite a lot of homework assignments every week. She lets you turn them in late with a small penalty since they are done through the website from the textbook. Textbook is required, and so is attendance so don't miss. She is such a genuine and caring person, she helped me through a hard time.

I came into this class with no clue of knowing Spanish. With that being said Mercedes Vargas helped and was very supportive with beginners. I enjoyed this class and the professors teaching skills compared to my high school teachers. This professor knows what they are doing , so take the class!

Bunch of quizzes, 6 exams, final. You NEED to know your vocab. SHOW UP to class bc you will lose points. Moderately fast-paced class, as you have 2-3 lectures and then an exam. Recommend you have taken Spanish in High School to take this class, bc it's fast-paced. Extra Credit is given throughout the semester (easy). Good 2nd-3rd option prof.

Im fluent in Spanish but will review this as if I wasn't. She is extremely understanding as long as you show effort. If at any given moment you need help or something occurs just let her know and she will cooperate with you. Weekly homework that requires average effort and is review and practice vocabulary. Class is based on weekly hw quizzes final

If you're a lazy person don't take her class, It's understandable that she is expecting you to learn a lot before her class, you have a whole week to review before her quizzes and lectures, I would take her class again, she is very respectful. I have seen many argumentative students dropping off, you should always be nice to your professors.

Attendance might as well be mandatory in this class with how far you fall behind if you miss even a single day. Speaking of, there are quizzes in this class daily, even if you learned the subject only a day or two prior. She treats students as if they're all well versed in Spanish, and this isn't a beginner's Spanish class.
