Reviews of professor Yamicela Torres Santana

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Shes so sweet, the class was easy for me because Ive already learned all of the grammar but if you havent, reading the textbook might be helpful because she doesnt explain it that much in class, instead you mostly do activities to practice. As long as you have a basic understanding and learn the vocab you should be able to get an A

Professor Torres is a sweet lady. She is very accommodating and wants the best for all of her students. HW is online and tests are not too difficult (4 total) as long as you have a basic understanding of the material. Oral exams and compositions seem intimidating but she is very helpful, gives good feedback & truly just wants you to try your best.

she is very caring. her study guides are amazing. very straight to the point. but there is a lot of work involved with quizzes and hw. buy the professor version of the textbook instead of the student one bc it explains everything better and it has the hw

I liked her very much. It was my first semester at the UM, and my first Spanish course ever. She is very helpful, patient and a very kind professor. Very clear in the classes and also in the directions for different activities and evaluations. Highly recommended teacher.

Professor Torres is amazing. I took the class this semester because It is mandatory. The course is directed towards heritage students and I am loving it! The professor motivates me to learn more about my Hispanic ancestors.

literally the best Spanish teacher ever. she's such a sweetheart and genuinely cares and will help you out with anything. I would retake her class in a heartbeat.

she is the sweetest professor i have ever had at UM. this is the best spanish class i have ever taken since she made it so interesting and fun. quite an easy grader too. the exams are a little bit difficult but she has no control over it as the spanish dept is the one that puts together the exams. wish i could take another class with her again!!

Dr. Torres is really accommodating. All of the Spanish classes are designed the same way by the department but she wants her students to succeed. Spanish itself was harder then I expected but thats not on her. She is great at responding to emails and I really recommend her.

Not a great teacher at all. Gives so much homework and barely ever knows what is going on in class. I wanted to minor in Spanish but after taking this class I don't think I can ever take another Spanish class again. The material doesn't seem bad but the tests are always impossible. I took six classes this semester and did the most for this one.
