Reviews of professor Yvette Benz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
professor benz really cares about her students and wants them to learn spanish. she was great and really helped bridge a gap for me that i was having. take her if you want to learn and especially want to learn to listen to spanish more!!

Took her for an intro Spanish class that would be accelerated. While I knew this, I was expecting to take intro level material. I was not expecting to write full essays in Spanish in the 4th week especially when I had never taken it before. Definitely a lot of material over a very short time. Attend class and take notes or you will fail.

Over all Professor Benz is a nice woman, but her teaching style did not mesh well with me. She almost never writes anything on the board and does a lot of talking AT you, so if you're hoping to take notes, I hope you can write super fast! Be prepared to practice your speaking aloud, she really likes to put people on the spot.

Be prepared to know a good amount of Spanish already bc she does not care if you are struggling or you don't know much. Her teaching is horrible. She talks AT you expecting you to know what she's saying. She'll write on the board, but it's so unorganized. There's no notes, lecture, and presentation. One of the worst classes I've ever taken!

I knew it was an intro class; but I'm not to sure that she did. So much material is taught at such a fast pace that it's very difficult to actually get a grasp of the language. Definitely go in with an understanding of the Spanish language or this class will be VERY tough. Overall, great person but just way to much material is taught.

Did not prefer her teaching style. The class and assignments always felt unorganized.
