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.
Evelyn Canabal-Torres SPAN306 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/05/2023	She seems nice, grading isn't too harsh but she has this policy of no "BS" and she can embarrass you by putting what you wrote in front of the whole class, so if you easily embarrassed take someone else. 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.
