Reviews of professor Aurora Salvador Sanchis

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very sweet prof, super organized lectures and HW. She had great methods for the transition to online learning. Uses some cute images in her lectures for a bit of silliness to keep the students engaged. Definitely helped me improve my Spanish!

Aurora is nice enough, but I felt like I didn't learn very much from her. All of the learning happened on VHL outside of class, and we didn't go over it much in class. In class, we filled out little papers with vocab words, etc pretty much the whole time. It was pretty mediocre, but I wouldn't take again, especially a higher level course.

Aurora was possibly the most understanding professor I had my first semester at UPS. She really tried to get me to do well even though I usually didn't put in the work. She was a really easy grader honestly, and her expectations were pretty average. If you do the homework, and at least try to speak Spanish in class, you'll be good. Practice tests.

Aurora is a true gem and she was great for SPAN203. She barely assigns homework but all of the work that you do get is super useful. She gives clear rubrics for every writing assignment, and she assigns classwork that you complete with a partner and it was a great way to connect to people over Zoom (fall 2020). Would recommend this class with her!

Such a great professor! I learned so much Spanish from 1 semester in her course. You use the online textbook a lot for hw and quizzes, but I think this is warranted for immersion. HW is a must!! If you do the homework, and pay attention/participate in class, not only will you leave with an A, but you'll already be acquiring the Spanish language.

Aurora is very kind and helpful. She is a great prof--she is a native speaker but explains details and tricky bits about Spanish that I don't think I would ever notice about my own native language. There is a lot of online homework, especially in 101, but it's mostly really helpful. In class there is a lot of small group work and worksheets.
