Reviews of professor Myriam Martel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Amazing prof! Truly a gem at TMU! She is so nice and helpful for those looking to learn Spanish!

Dr. Martel honestly reminds me of my abuela, she's that sweet. Like any language course it is a lot of work but she truly wants to see you learn and do well. Participation is a must, and she doesn't expect you to always be perfect, just wants you to try your best. Do the homework/practice and you'll be okay.

I would not recommend this women. Overall her teaching is average but she's very unapproachable and rude. She makes snarky comments and I honestly feel that she doesn't care about the success of her students. She is the most unpleasant professor at Ryerson, so if you can... please do yourself a favour and choose someone else.

She was good. She explains things clearly, mainly bases tests off of what you learn from the lectures, gave a lot of homework (which you have to pay to get access to), and was friendly. The exams require a lockdown browser. The course itself has a lot of material to consume within a few weeks so it is naturally difficult if you don't study.

Amazing and genuine prof! She goes over the concepts in-depth and isn't vague at all! This is my second course with her and I have retained so much from her lectures. Te amo senora

Myriam is definitely not an approachable prof and does not go through any of the concepts clearly and on top of that makes you feel stupid when you ask her a question. She did not go through the basics of the Spanish language so be prepared to teach yourself. She gives a lot of homework and goes by it extremely fast. Definitely do not recommend her

Be prepared to memorize lots of random vocab words. She may say you dont need the textbook, but you do!

Myriam truly cares about the success of her students. She creates a very comfortable space in class where students can excel in. Your attendance is crucial and based on a participation mark, but class is always very engaging. You must buy the textbook - it is a very helpful tool that you will use throughout the semester.

Dr. Martel is amazing! She is so sweet and clearly wants all of her students to do well. Since it's a language course, participation is crucial. She marks fair and preps the class extremely well for all tests and assignments. She provides the class with a comfortable environment so that the students know they can participate without judgment.

I've had this professor for 2 different SPAN courses and she is great. Very kind and caring and she counts participation in class which not only boosts your grade but gets you practicing your Spanish. She also assigns weekly homework on VHL (something my previous Spanish prof didn't do) & this also helps you practice and can help boost your grade.
