Evaluation Comments for Rigo de Alonso

  1. If you want to straight track your Spanish, take this class. That said, I came into this class with a weak background in Spanish and it was very difficult for me all semester. Don't get behind, study hard, and really read over the book. She's a nice professor, so talk with her if you are having any problems with the class or material, because she doesn't go over a lot of grammar in class, which some of my class found difficult. There was no final, but we had tests every two Fridays going over the chapters covered in the previous two weeks. The outside book, Migual Littin, was also hard for most people in the class because it was way more advanced then we knew what to do with. But it does save you a J-term and a spring semester, allowing you to take another class and bump ahead to 210 in the spring. There are four essays you write in the semester; each has a first and second draft, and there are a couple of oral presentations.
  2. Rigo de Alonso is a great professor. She is very funny and she only speaks spanish during class, which is useful. The workbook assignments take a long time to do, but other than that, the tests are fair and the essays are very straightforward. I would definitely take this class with Rigo de Alonso, it's well worth it.
  3. She's always ready to help you and she's more than happy to see you in her office during her hours. She's quite funny, which makes learning Spanish more fun. Watch out though... The class is pretty intensive and the workbook pages pile up so don't wait until the night before they're due to complete them!
