Reviews of professor Yenibel ruiz

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is very hard to understand sometimes, also a little too energetic. However, she wants you to do well and if you communicate, she does listen. Lots of quizzes but if you do not want them, talk to her, she will stop them. Similar to the structure of SPN 601D

Prof Ruiz is great. If you have a problem with your grade or are worried about the material, she will let you re-do assignments and will work with you.

The course is the same for all 610D students/between the professors so you shouldn't stress too much about the amount of tests/hw. The content is fairly easy as long as you study/come to class.

Lower division Spanish is really determined by your professor since all of the classes are the same. I recommend her and would take her again.

Profesora was amazing! She cared about the class and was pretty good at explaining things (making sure to use English when she saw students didn't understand). I will say SPN610D has A LOT of homework assignments, so reconsider taking it if you do not have a big work ethic or don't care for learning the language. This class helped my Spanish grow.

She's very nice and grades leniently. She cold calls and speaks in Spanish the whole class, so make sure to pay attention. There's long homework before class that you need to know to participate during class, but they are completion grades. 2 exams but fairly easy. We watch a lot of interesting movies in Spanish and discuss them during class.

She is a very nice person, but the class is kinda ridiculous it is hard to learn Spanish the way she teaches and the tests and quizzes are tough

She's a wonderful person and genuinely cares about her students - this semester was very difficult for me bc of outside circumstances and she was more understanding and accommodating for me than I could have ever asked for. The class itself is pretty hard, goes very fast and has plenty of homework, but do it all and you should be able to do well.
