Reviews of professor Ofelia Ferran

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I have had two classes with her at this point. She can talk for 20 minutes straight with the most annoying pauses. She will critique the ideas you share in discussion and thinks she is always right. Her grammar corrections on essays are EXTENSIVE and usually not helpful because she is from Spain. Her class topics are not relevant to modern LA.

Ofelia is kind and cares about her students. She is very "go with the flow" during lectures, which makes them interesting. She is approachable, gives constructive feedback, and is overall not a tough grader (no tests in the class, only essays). Downside - no Moodle or canvas throughout the semester so it's hard to know how you're doing in the class

Ofelia is the most chill Spanish professor I've ever had. She grades really easy and does not care if you show up late, for she is often at least 5 minutes late every class. She is nice and funny and leads a good discussion. Does not grade harshly on participation as long as you talk in small groups. Gave everyone an A on the final presentation.

Class is interesting, she picks modern movies. She lectures tuesday then it's discussion thursday, which I liked. 2 papers with opportunities to increase grade by a full letter grade (by going to a spanish art panel and writing a reflection) and final group project, which was a little messy but it was her first semester doing that with this class.

Ofelia is great. She's super knowledgeable and teaches well. One downside is she doesn't have a class website so you won't know your grade until the class is over. She also doesn't hesitate to call on you at any given point in class. The class is mostly discussion and doesn't have tests, just papers. She also grades pretty easy.
