On the first day, I wanted to find another class to take. A combination of her cold, condescending attitude, and her lack of enthusiasm made me feel like dropping it immediately. It was not a welcoming environment, and it seems as if she could care less if her students succeed. Like another review said, she cold calls and is truly anxiety inducing. It's not necessarily that the class is extremely difficult, its more of her lack of passion and harsh attitude that ruined my experience. Would not take again.
Honestly while the class was an easy A, it was unfortunate to find that the professor was inconsiderate when it came to online lectures. She clearly stated during the first lecture that if you have ever experienced problems with internet connection, not to take the class because she doesn't consider that a reasonable excuse (ig she doesn't know that ppl don't plan to have internet problems when they happen lol). You also have to complete multiple conversifi sessions where you speak with spanish speakers from other countries. While I had no problem with this assignment at all, I started to have problems with my account and couldn't connect to any users even when I asked customer support. Instead of trying to reason with me and provide an alternative, she told me that it was my fault for waiting until the end of the quarter to start the sessions (which I didn't I only needed to complete one more) and told me I would have to take a zero for the assignment. I eventually figured it out on my own but it put me off on how she wasn't willing to help me figure something out. She also cold calls during lectures and can have a condescending tone when lecturing lol :/ so much anxiety with this professor
