Reviews of professor Evangelia Manatou

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Manatou gives out bundles of homework (both online and paper) and assigns numerous compositions, tests, quizzes, and oral presentations. I was very stressed throughout this class and felt extremely overwhelmed. Do not take if you are not very dedicated to Spanish and willing to spend hours per night on homework, projects, and studying.

My grade is at no fault of the Professor Manatou. I'm just not good at learning a new language. I loved her as my professor and she is so so sweet to her students. I really appreciated her teaching style, but I fell behind more because of the curriculum required by Fordham, not her. Take her!!

She was nice professor, but she is very homework and project heavy. Didn't enjoy her class scolding, felt very much like I was in middle school. Overall decent class you will pass just pay attention and ask lots of questions

This class was, as expected, a lot of grammar. Prof. Manatou was a good teacher, and I enjoyed her class. There is a lot of variety in how you are graded, such as online Pearson MyLab, pages from the textbook, five mini-quizzes, and an Oral "exam". If you will take this class, MAKE HEAVY USE OF THE SYLLABUS to keep track of everything.

She is probably the worst professor I have ever had in my time at Fordham. Her lectures lack substance, and she only seems to care about grading her assigned homework. I would not be able to tell you anything substantive that I learned in one of her lectures. She is extremely anal about attendance, your valid/medical excuses do not matter to her.

Do not take this class it if you struggle with Spanish at all. If you give her anything less than perfection on any assignment or test your grade will suffer greatly. Went out of her way to take points off of assignments. Does not reward effort no matter how hard you work outside of class. Overall this class was an extremely stressful experience.

The workload is tedious but I learned so much. Prof. Manatou is so sweet too and genuinely expresses interest in her students' lives. Attendance is included in your participation grade so don't miss class. Class grades are determined by several tests, quizzes, and a final. No midterm.

I haven't taken Spanish in a while so I did struggle a bit in this class on tests and certain assignments. With that being said, Professor Lydia made a personal effort to help me understand things. She is a very kind person and I appreciate her for all her help! I highly recommend!

Good professor, however, assigns lots of hw and group projects. Be prepared to present and particpate in this class; most of your grade depends on projects.
