The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Students repeatedly say do the homework, participate, and review for exams and an A follows, especially for non-native speakers who stay current.
Online and in-person both describe easy A with effort; online adds Respondus tests but still report A grades.
Is the course easy?
Content is elementary-to-intermediate Spanish made clear in class, though language practice volume still takes weekly time.
In-person notes fun easy classes; online is similar difficulty with more platform homework.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance and participation are repeatedly required, with point penalties for absences or lateness in several reports.
Evidence is almost entirely in person; online also often lists attendance mandatory.
Is this professor recommended?
Overwhelming praise for kindness, clarity, and learning outcomes with only a few style or workload complaints.
Recommendation stays high in both formats; older one-star outlier is outnumbered.
