When you take this class it's really evident that she does want you to succeed and she always emphasizes how much your writing has improved since the beginning of class - and it will if you do take her for 301. That being said, you writing will only improve because you will be doing it CONSTANTLY. You will spend a giant amount of time writing and doing assignments for this class, and you will have to be willing to put in a lot of time and effort. However, she will give you good feedback on all your writing assignments in a pretty short amount of time, so you will undoubtedly improve. |

this class is about her passion, medieval spanish literature. TONS of assignments, but you can tell she cares and wants you to succeed. that said, it is a TON of work and she is not afraid to give you extra on top of it. participation grades are rough but fair. grading seemed fair too, maybe a little tougher than normal profs. the class consisted of: - at LEAST 2 homeworks per week this was definitely the busy work of the class, so. many. assignments. and. so. many. readings. it dragged. - some in-class assignments that are graded for participation same difficulty as a homework, which wasnt bad. you normally had some access to it before class, so you could do it for homework before hand if you had time. - a research-based oral presentation (7-10 mins in length) honestly was pretty chill. the grading seemed pretty light, the topics felt pretty open ended. i was so scared of this but it was honestly the easiest thing. - a midterm (1/2 takehome, 1/2 in class) the takehome half was a traditional essay with a prompt - had a week to do it. she gave a study guide for the midterm. it was 20% where you match a word with the definition, 10 of the words, 13-15 definitions. the study guide had the words but NOT the definitions, so hopefully your definitions wording matched up with hers. the rest was essay responses. the study guide had 5 prompts. the actual midterm had 3, and you had to answer 2. you needed to remember specific quotes and texts to support your answers. - final exam it was 20% where you match a word with the definition, 20 of the words, 23-25 definitions. the study guide had the words but NOT the definitions, so hopefully your definitions wording matched up with hers. the rest was essay responses. the study guide had 8 prompts. the actual midterm had 5, and you had to answer 4. you needed to remember specific quotes and texts to support your answers. - participation grade standard one in the spanish department overall honestly the work isnt hard, its just SO MUCH. don't do it if youre lazy. |

She is the literal hardest professor I have ever had in my life. I am a computer science major and I spend almost the same amount of time on this class as my cs classes. Save yourself fr |

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 |

So she's insane. Like actually built different. She will make you work your tail off for 15 weeks straight. Not only should you be prepared to spend 10-15 hours a week doing the ridiculously long readings and essay questions, but the material is unfamiliar and hard to grasp. This class is the reason why I didn't sleep for a semester. DO NOT TAKE!! |

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. |
