Evelyn Canabal-Torres SPAN306 Expecting an A Anonymous 06/16/2025	Profesora Canabal is one of the best professors I have had at this university. I will say, some of the comments below are right. She can be tricky if youneed to work off a syllabus. She gives you a syllabus that is loose and can be edited at any time. She molds her class depending on what the class needs or feels is best. This can be seen as a flaw but to me, it helped a lot. She considers your other courses and gives you time to do work. She has a lot of in-class discussions and some random quizzes that she'll mention but some are ungraded. She does struggle with grading on time but I promise, if you put the effort, your grade will reflect it. Take her up on her office hours and just talk, she is a great person who wants to be there for you. Take her class if you can!
Evelyn Canabal-Torres SPAN306 Expecting an A- Anonymous 01/26/2024	Profesora Canabal is a great professor who really cares about her students' well being and success in her class. I took SPAN306 with her for Fall 2023 and we did not have any midterms or final. I do warn though that the course can get disorganized at times. I felt that the class became really stressful during finals because we had a final essay, final group project (+ an oral presentation), and portafolio all due within the same time frame. Due to this I took off a star. Other than that, the class was okay and relatively manageable. I enjoyed a lot of the things we learned about. She not only incorporates lessons on grammar, writing, accents, etc. But she also teaches the class about issues that have happened in the history of many Latin American countries which I found to be very interesting and it evoked me to start being attentive to what's going on in my native country and other parts of Latin America. To succeed in this class, I'd definitely build a relationship with her as she is understanding of any extenuating circumstances that can happen. Even lenient at times. She may grant extensions, but generally she tries to do so for the benefit of the entire class rather than just yourself. Attending class is also key because most of class time is used to peer review essay drafts.

She had trouble assigning due dates and would forget about assignments she assigned us leaving us to guess when something is due sometimes. Not my favorite teacher but she does seem like she cares about students.
