Reviews of professor Julia Sainz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I love this professor! The first class makes it seem like itll be hard, but she really wants you to succeed and helps with everything! Shes so encouraging and prepares you well for exams. The only thing is participation is absolutely necessary for class, but it was really a lot of fun! I would absolutely take her again:)

Sainz is an amazing prof! You will do a lot of talking in class and she pretty much only speaks Spanish, but it'll help you learn so much. For sure recommend!

best Spanish prof at tamu!!! I have never looked forward to going to class until this one, definitely take her. She makes class fun and interesting with games, also the tests are not difficult because she really helps you prepare for them

She connects with each student, is funny, and is understanding of any issues you might have. 1 midterm + 1 final. There's a group project at the end of the semester but it is not hard because she gives you specific deadlines and splits up each portion. She also gives great feedback and wants to see you succeed. I'd take her class again if I could.

This is genuinely the worst experience I've ever had with a class in college... I'm a Biomedical Sciences major for 3 years doing perfectly well. None of my BIMS courses gave me as much annoyance and struggle as this class. Not to be cruel but seriously she is not a good professor. Overboard amount of work for a spanish class and you won't learn.

Sainz is an extremely tough grader. If a student was late to class, she would make them do 10-20 squats. However, when she was late (which was almost every day), she acted like it didn't matter. She would also often make us start class without her, which is annoying when you are paying thousands to go to A&M & are having to teach yourself.

Professor Sainz just isnt a good instructor, period. She did not teach concepts clearly and did not accept or respect questions or feedback. She also showed up late constantly. This professor seems to take pleasure in proving students wrong or belittling them, which makes me wonder why shes an instructor.

If you want to learn Spanish do not take her. Mrs. Sainz is almost always in a bad mood and is more interested in embarrassing her students than teaching them. When she makes a mistake she blames her students. She claims participation grades are based on how much you speak in class, but doesnt record it or learn our names, so they must be random.
