Reviews of professor Timeko McFadden

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Thought provoking class and open-minded environment, classes are based off discussion but she also opens an online discussion for those not comfortable speaking in class. She's very considerate of her students. She relies heavily on everyone knowing the syllabus because she doesn't like repeating herself. Bad with responding to emails. Kinda rude

BEST PROFE EVER! I had to take an incomplete in fall 2020 because of some issues. Ms. McFadden was so generous and I was able to finish the class just recently. She has a high standard for her students but YOU WILL IMPROVE your Spanish. After an assignment is graded, she'll go over it with you one on one. You just have to make an appointment.

pretentious from the start, having taken several 4000 level courses in Spanish I figured this one would be reasonable as it was 2000 level, no chance. If you like a teacher who doesn't know how to teach or memorizing infinite content in minimal depth this is the course and professor for you.

2 tests with an optional 3rd (only there to help your grade, not hurt). Grades tougher on papers, but take the feedback on the first paper you write, and you should recieve A's after. Lecture helps clarify on concepts, and her lecture slides definitely highlight what you need to know. Skimming the readings 1-2 times is generally enough. 1 xtra cred

Professor Mcfadden is the absolute best professor I've ever had. She was so kind and caring and even funny. Many students did not like how she graded because she didn't give specific criteria, but after every paper, people often received excellent grades. I enjoyed the open discussion and her willingness to understand everyone's comfort zones.

Do NOT believe the low ratings for SPAN 2550. I was one of the few students who went to see Señora during office hours and it was really helpful. Most of the class just complained in the GroupMe and didn't go for help. I'm not the best student in literature but I learned a lot.

If you engage with Dr. McFadden, she will engage with you! She is very passionate about her job and truly aims to make a difference in the lives of students. If you talk to her after class, she will offer great help and feedback! While she is a tough grader, if you show effort, you should be fine.

Bad at responding to emails- sometimes she just won't respond and gives you an unbelievable amount of work and quizzes.

Professor McFadden gave unclear instructions for her assignments as well as graded them on a secret rubric. She also displayed poor behavior by reading student emails aloud in class. She requires the consumption of at least 2 media before every class, usually articles or book chapters. Do not take any of her classes.
