Reviews of professor Heather Beal

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Awesome teacher! Will do anything to help her students learn the material. By far the best foreign language teacher I've ever had. Seriously take her if you can you wont regret it.

Completely ignored the syllabus. Gave no study guide for the oral exam. Graded very harshly and didn't seem to care about the students. Quite disappointed because her rating was so 5.0 when i picked her as a professor

She was probably my favorite teacher and this was my favorite Spanish class. She is very funny, and sweet, and definitely strives to relate with you. She's super chill and just wants to make sure you actually learn. If you go in with a basic understanding- like what you learned in HS- then it should not be too hard. There's homework but its not bad

BEWARE!!!! Words cant describe how much I DONT recommend this teacher. She is a bully, does not provide extra credit, considers having a tutor cheating and will not be lenient in any way with her students. This is a teacher that enjoys seeing people fail. She is at cape fear community college as well, not just UNCW.

I respect anyone who WANTS to take this class, honestly because this was horrible. What teacher assigns homework that takes 10 hours to complete?! On top of that, make videos, do a test. Oh and no extra credit. Please don't be fooled by the review on here. But if you do choose to take this class, DON'T SPILL UP.

Profe Beal was really good for me! She was very clear with her directions and gave you plenty of time to do assignments. Nothing was sprung upon you, and she isn't "stick to the book crazy." If you take her class, DEFINITELY go to the review session, it's tremendously helpful and frankly gives you most of the answers on the test.

Like most Spanish classes, there's a ton of VHL homework but most of it can be found on Quizlet. Beal is hilarious and makes lectures easy to understand, plus her quizzes and exams were on the easier side too. Absolutely loved her and this class, she's pretty laid back but cares about her students and wants to see us do well.

Do not take her summer course if you can avoid it. She made it seem like she would rather have seen my entire class fail then do well. Is not understanding of emergencies or surprises and will not cut you any slack. Is not clear about her grading criteria and does not offer help when asked for. I would transfer schools before taking her class again
