Reviews of professor Miriam Carpenter-Cosand

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Its the class itself thats pretty tiring but she does her best in making it enjoyable. She listens to her students and encourages you to meet with her and ask for help. Take advantage! She was willing to get rid of some assignments and offered extra credit.

Don't get me wrong she is one of the sweetest professor but in general her class was not it. Her class is very difficult and when it comes to grading she is very harsh, especially with her comments. There are many essays and homework. she does so many random pop quizzes and if you do not participate as a class, she gives them out.

Professor Carpenter-Cosand was very helpful. She gave clear instructions and feedback, always elaborated when needed, and had a lot of information to offer aside from the class content (cultural backgrounds, global issues, etc.) The assignments and tests are a bit more challenging, but if you pay attention and do the work, you'll do just fine.

Amazing and helpful professor! Tough, but if you work hard, you will do well. Definitely pay attention in class and keep up with the content.

It's a lot of work but you need to look at it as making your whole set of language skills better. She is fun and makes sure that the class understands the content. She is also very helpful in working on essays on talking about class readings and concepts. She also adds in a lot of small cultural lessons which has been a nice experience too.

Don't get me wrong, Cosand's is a sweet lady who cares about her student. My biggest issue is she speaks Spanish 99% of the time and my Spanish isn't good enough to understand instructions that way so I miss out on a lot of info (esp. hw info). Too much hw but it's manageable. She grades tests really harshly. She's a fair choice, but not the best

She's one of my favorite professors ever. She's really cool and funny. Her classes are always interesting and engaging. But if you don't care to learn anything, you won't have a good time. There is a lot of homework, but it's interesting and personally, I want to learn the language so it helps. I wish I could take her class for all my SPA classes.

She was the only teacher that actually care about how we were feeling during this semester. She reduced some of the homework to help us and she also gave us some class time to work on assignments. She is really funny but also is still a lot of busy work in this class. You really had to participate in class to get the grade.

Lots of homework, an amazing amount. Do yourself a favor and spend 2 to 3 hours a day practicing.
