Alex is brilliant and an awesome human. Take her class and you will learn a ton. She is also hilarious and knows how to engage with students

LOVE alex! super engaging, but speaks a little fast (def not a native speaker). lectures & course expectations are v clear (easy to get ~100% on essays which are most of your grade). content is a little old/could use more modern readings, but her lectures make them come to life. attendance req. for everything, some pair discussions in lectures req.

Profesora Saum-Pascual is such a wonderful educator. I have taken two classes with her so far and both have been very informational. She emphasizes participation and always encourages people to speak up even if they are not super confident. Definitely recommend taking her courses!

She is incredibly mean and condescending to students who meet with her during office hours. She would not help students who were struggling and was never satisfied with the quality of work by students of underprivileged backgrounds.

Love this professor! I will definitely look into taking another class with her. As far as Spanish 25-4 papers, 1 group project, essay outlines, peer review, no midterm, and no final--you'll thrive if you took AP Spanish Lit and enjoyed it. Very similar style and a few same readings. :)

I never got the chance to have a strong personal connection with Prof Saum-Pascual, but I have to say that she is a very caring prof, who is very smiley and always has a joke in her pocket. Of course, there were some things with the course that I found difficult (i.e. we only met once a week), but overall a good class that I would take again :)
