Reviews of professor Nicola Whitley

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
4 months of Spanish crammed into 5 weeks is not easy. Several assignments (around 10, sometimes more) due each week, along with around 8-10 quizzes. Overwhelming at first. It helps that I remember a lot from high school. If you don't, I would suggest a different professor or to take Spanish during the fall / spring.

Absolutely the worst professor I have ever had the misfortune of taking a class with. Absurd amounts of HW and a grading system that is set up for students to fail. Cannot stress enough DO NOT TAKE HER. She is clearly unqualified and unable to teach effectively.

Dr. Whitley is outstanding and even though the class was difficult, I know I will be prepared for Spanish 3. Like I said, this class requires hard work, but because of how cool Dr. Whitley is, it is doable!

Do not take this class! Tons of homework and you can only work on it from Monday mornings to Friday afternoons, you cannot work on assignments over the weekend and there will be a lot of them. No English is spoken during the class and what is covered is not very helpful. UNG has a horrible Spanish program and this professor is the worst.

This class is not for beginners. You hit the ground running and content can become overwhelming quickly. This class is formatted like a high school course and runs like one too. Mandatory attendance and participation. The online homework is annoying and she's very strict about the deadlines for it. Do not take this unless you know spanish.

very difficult teacher. says it is a class for beginners. but truly, she expects you to know fluent Spanish after the first two weeks. she speaks in only Spanish.. no English the entire class time. requires a lot of homework and you cannot do it on the weekends. she's tough.

I bombed this class in the beginning, but I was slowly able to bring my grade up to a B-. She is a wonderful teacher and a very caring person. I hope the rest of my Spanish teachers are as good as her.

You start speaking only Spanish on your first day of class. She does not speak any English with anyone. Very tough for an intro class without any background knowledge of Spanish. Tests are very long. She is caring and will help, but will not allow English in the classroom.

i am taking her during covid so a lot of her assignments r online. she gives a lot of hw but it does help during test time. she gives all hw in the beginning of the week. u can go at ur own pace. if u have never taken Span then don't take her. labs r easy. she's nice & helpful but gives a lot of work. not impossible but just rlly time consuming.
