Ginette Eldredge SPAN316 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 06/16/2025	Profesora Eldredge is one of the best professors I have ever had. She absolutely cares about her students and the class. We had a fairly small class, but she always made sure to come in happy and prepared. She is GREAT with organization. She sticks to the syllabus (the work looks like a lot at the beginning but it really is managable). She creates to-do tasks on your calendar for every class with readings (most of which are short and in English), some translation assignments from the book, or what assignment is due in class or after. She truly is on top of her work. I will say, you have to record videos at the end of the class for an interpretation that is graded, but it's not too bad! The rest of the interpretations and translations that you submit, if not marked as graded, are for completion and then you fix the translations in a portfolio with her notes. If you take the time to go meet her or email her, she's SUPER fast and walks you through all of it. \ For those with ADS accomodations: this is the best professor you could take. She made sure to always give me extra time, email me ahead of time with the powerpoints, ask me if I needed anything, etc. She fully gives her all. I wish her ratings were better, she truly is a great professor. TAKE HER CLASS!

The main issue is the course load. Normal classes take 3 hours a week for course work, but I have spent around 7 hours on her assignments every week. She expects way too much. Her 316 class has around 5-6 assignments due a week, along with big semester projects such as a power point, translation pages, and a portfolio.

Ginette Eldredge SPAN316 Expecting an A Anonymous 06/02/2022	So I've had her twice & I'm traumatized. Her teaching style is no-nonsense & she doesn't play at all. She will assign loads of work, grade it in detail, rapid fire questions in class, & make you participate. Please don't take her unless you're willing to put 110% time & effort into every assignment. That being said, she really wants you to succeed
Ginette Eldredge SPAN316 Expecting an A- Anonymous 03/15/2021	Professor Eldredge is a great teacher because she will commit extra time to helping students if they need it. This is the most work I have ever done for a class, and she is a very detailed grader, so it may be difficult to get an A or higher. As long as you show that you are committed to learning how to translate and actually read her comments, the class will be very rewarding.
