Spencer is a great lecturer and knows so much about Latin America's past and present. However, just like the other person mentioned, she does expect a lot from students! Sometimes it is too much and the material can be overwhelming. Beware of the written assignments because she is very picky with grammar and word choice, just like an English professor! Also she randomly calls on students throughout lecture, so be ready to participate. It is crucial to do all of her assigned reading because she goes over all of it and asks questions and comments. If you are really interested in Latin America take her because you will be exposed to so much material and she is familiar with so many dates and facts. Her lectures were analytical and intense so be ready to take many notes. So I would recommend her if you are an LAS major or just want to enhance your knowledge about Latin America.

Taking Professor's Spencer class is an experience I will never forget. Her class was difficult and the content very interesting. The discussions during the seminar were intellectually stimulating. She is a good source of information. At times I felt like giving up and dropping the class, but she insisted on pushing me to the limits and demanding the best of me and not allowing me to sell my self short. Her constructive criticism on my writing skills have helped me through my college carreer. I recommend students to take her class. I tell one thing, she does not give any give away grades. She will make you work for that A, but in the end is all worth it.
