Winter 2020 - Please take a class with Professor Bergero. She is probably one of the sweetest and kindest professors at UCLA. She really cares about the performance of each and every student and wants to see you succeed. Honestly, she is so amazing with her insight into Spanish Literature and she made the class very interesting. She would talk about the text in ways I never thought of. Seriously, she is so great and I want to take another class with her is possible. I am pretty sure she even reached out to all her students (class of 20 ) to say amazing things about each of them and what they have noticed about them throughout the quarter. I have honestly never written a review for a professor before, but she was so amazing that I felt that other students really need to know!

Fall 2020 - I would definitely recommend taking Span 119 with Dr. Powell. We have readings each week and discuss them in class. Some of them can be a bit long, but they are manageable. Other than that, we all signed up for one day to do a presentation on a reading to the class, we had a takehome midterm, and an 8-10 page final essay on any of the readings we covered during the class. This class was very manageable and Dr. Powell was extremely helpful during/after class if you had any questions on course material. She really understands that taking a class during a pandemic is tough and makes accommodations for us.

Fall 2020 - I thought Jimena did a great job with the transition to online learning. She assigned great readings and graded kindly. At times she was unclear on what she wanted to do, but frankly it didn't matter because I don't think a single person got below an A- in this class. Really nice prof!
