She was an amazing professor. She would give feedback on most assignments. Overall it was an easy class that you will enjoy!

Easy A, but attendance is mandatory. Hw is through Connect along with the textbook. Tests are basically the homework and open note, so do the homework and you'll be fine. She drops people who don't attend lecture and submit homework on time only for the first week, fyi. She's very nice and gave us extensions for assignments if we asked beforehand.

Easy class, but attendance is mandatory and graded. She gets off topic during lectures. Lots of online homework. Shes flexible with grading, though. Theres a PowerPoint presentation. Overall, easy class and good professor.

This professor dropped me for not submitting an assignment that was due the Saturday prior to the course start date. I check my emails and canvas religiously, and still somehow never received any email from her and got dropped from the class AFTER buying the books and actively participating the few days before the class started.

She's the best. Took her dual-enrolled as a HS student (school ran out of Spanish teachers; shipped some in from LAPC) and she handled a room of freshmen with poise and patience, which I know is difficult. Approachable, kind, and excellent at creating engaging lectures. 10/10, no notes.

She was OK, I definitely wouldn't take her again. Doesn't give clear instructions so myself among other students were a bit confused on a couple assignments. She will not let you make up any assignments so keep that in mind if you work or issues come up. Even if its only a day. Other than that i thought the class was pretty easy just needs to clear

Professor Gauthier is fantastic. I learned so much. She is a fair grader and understands that students also have a life outside the classroom. I would recommend anyone taking her class to always communicate with her. She gives everyone the opportunity to succeed in the class.

Professor Gauthier cares about her students. Her lectures motivate you to learn using interactive learning. She motivated me. If you have an emergency keep her posted. She wants you to succeed. Be honest and open if you are struggling and she will help you. Best Spanish professor ever at VC! Wish they had more like her.

Cool teacher. She rambles a lot, but I think that's just in her nature. Easy class, and tests are open book (notes from your notebook, not the textbook). You MUST do your homework in order to pass the class- there's no way around it. Attendance also impacts final grade.
