Garcia is a great professor, includes every student in the class. The class is heavily discussion based (although in an informal setting for the majority of the time), so students learn to improve their Spanish speaking with little risk. Workload is very manageable. Friendly and approachable guy - strongly recommend him for anyone taking SPAN311.

Daniela is one of the sweetest Spanish teachers at UMD. Her class was super interesting and consisted of a lot of small group talk during class which really made it a low stress class. It was also a great way to actually practice speaking the language -- I feel like so many other Spanish classes don't allow you to consistently practice speaking. There were a few mini essays throughout the course (2-3 pages) and some grammar homeworks. The midterm and final exam were actually one-on-one "interviews" with Daniela and, while a little nerve-racking, they were actually super relaxed because Daniela genuinely wants you to success and she's super approachable. DEFINITELY take a class with Daniela at some point if you can!!!

Class is easy. She picks favorites though and it's so obvious. Take her for this class 100% bc she makes it super funny.

Ana is so great! She's funny and helps all students regardless of their abilities. I really feel like this course helped me get better with speaking and I felt more confident speaking in front of classmates.

311 was an exceptionally fun syllabus, so I'm sure it would be easy with any teacher, but Ana's nice enough, and grades very leniently. Unfortunately she does have favorites, so it really helps if you can make a positive impression in the first week or so of class. Also, she'll sometimes "pick on" people for no apparent reason.

I had her for both SPAN302 and SPAN311. She's a nice teacher and fair grader. She's got a good sense of humor and doesn't overwork you.
