Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
literally LOVE HER!! nicest teacher ever. theres a lot of assignments but they aren't anything unmanageable, just a lot of article readings and movies to watch. you also do a lot of group assignments so sit with people you like. she calls on everyone but shes very understanding and kind about it so dw if you aren't super fluent in spanish

Profe was unlike any professor I have had before. She was understanding and made classes engaging, oftentimes accommodating lectures to encompass real-world occurrences. We spent a lot of time working in groups with students in class and from Mexico. It was difficult to know where you stood grade-wise though because she did not post them at all.

This class is amazing! She is the best Spanish teacher I've ever had, and I'm taking her again in the spring. My Spanish has improved so much with her help. She cares about the success of each student. Make sure you come to every class. She is a slow grader. She gives you a very clear study guide for each test and allows corrections.

I took Cultural Conversations with Professor Mangione-Lora and absolutely loved her! She is quite possibly the nicest human being I've ever met. I will say there is a ton of homework for this class, and you will have a full essay, an entire movie, or a long reading passage/questions every class period, but only some of it gets graded.

She is a great professor and really cares about your improvement. The only issue I had with her class was she waited until finals week to start grading any of our assignments so it was hard to know where you stood in her class. Other than that she was understanding that we are not fluent yet and really only wanted us to improve!
