Reviews of professor Stephanie Alcantar

I really love Spanish, but even if I didn't Professora Alcantar was really good with presenting information and then helping students understand exactly how to use it. I highly recommend her class!

I took Dr. Alcantar's SPAN1082 class (I didn't see it on the list up there) and loved it. She's very kind, receptive to questions, and encourages creativity from her students with a unique lesson plan. The more you invest in the work, the more you'll get out of it, which is easy to do as she doesn't overload you. I highly recommend her!

Very passionate about teaching and sharing all you need to know about the Latino/Hispanic population. The podcast was awesome and very creative. She is a very easy going professor. If you explain your hardships, she will definitely work with you on them and getting work completed. Will definitely recommend and hope to take another class with her!!!

She grades things very reasonably and gives second chances at most things. The project was fun and easy! She is not the best at using Canvas so check the home page a lot

She doesn't know what she's doing since it's her first year teaching. She gives out reading summaries almost twice a week and grades them so poorly. She also doesn't give you participation points even if you participate, therefore you won't get a 100% in participation which is 20% of your grade. Don't take this class.

She gives a lot of homework that helps prepare you for in-class writing assignments. If you don't have a solid understanding of Spanish (ie struggle with tenses or basic-level grammar) the class is more challenging. As long as you email her/go to office hours and show some level of improvement, you'll do well.

Prof. Alcantar became one of my favorite professors quickly with how flexible and understanding she is. She is always open for office hours and does an amazing job of explaining things and taking things at your pace. I was really nervous about a college-level Spanish class coming right from high school but she made it doable and easy to understand.
