Western Kentucky University / B / Andrea Block

Don't take her if you have poor grammar and if you can't spell and if you have issues with attendance.

Ms. Block is a great teacher. In fact I am shocked to see the bad reviews on her, she is funny and makes class interesting. Yes, there is tons of homework, but that is because you are learning a different language. Think about it, it took you several years to learn to speak English, of course its difficult and requires a lot of time and effort. Ms. Block is strict about people coming in half way through class, but that is because you really need to be there or you will miss too much information. She helps you out if you are having trouble, and gives the class word sheets to fill out quite often. Keep these because you can use them alot for studying. She gives great study guides. Just translate the sentences, and your responses, and study and you will do fine. Ms. Block is a wonderful teacher.

THIS CLASS IS HARD...HARDER THAN ANY OTHER FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASS I'VE EVER TAKEN AND I'M A FRENCH MAJOR! BE CAREFUL WHEN SELECTING YOUR SPANISH PROFESSOR!

I was told that Spanish would not be hard. Because our class only met twice a week this "teacher-" if thats what you want to call her- took it out on us because we didn't have enough class time making us do tons and tons and tons of homework and making the tests close to impossible to study for. We had to come to class knowing about 100 spanish words on the FIRST day and we were all lost. She calls you out and if you're 6 minutes late she says asta luego! and you have to leave and if you miss more than 2 classes--NO MATTER WHAT you fail...she said if you were squished on the highway you were still required to be in class that it was your responsibility. What a bitch! It wouldn't matter if your kid was sick or you had been in a wreck, you would still be counted absent and received an F at the end of the semester. She never ever once reminded us of homework like a caring nice teacher would...we had to teach ourselves and keep up with knowing what was due the next day.If you have no job and no other classes and no life you should take this class! But unless you enjoy the feeling of wanting to blow your brains out, don't take this class! Good Luck!
