Fall 2017 - I had such trouble in this class. It wasn't even because of the material, but rather the exams themselves. I know it's the department that creates the exams, but I struggled so much on them because I feel like a lot of the questions were open to interpretation. As a teacher, Audrey was nice but I think she could have done better teaching-wise. I felt like she just went through the curriculum but did not necessarily connect with her students. I took Spanish 5 the following quarter and loved my new teacher as she took the time to ask the students what we felt like we needed to work on and attempted to gauge where we were at in the language before she delved into the material. I appreciated that and I think Audrey's future students would as well if she were to do something similar.

The person below me couldn't have said it any better. She is a witch and she needs to be removed. I am starting a petition. She has noooo compassion and doesn't give the students credit for what they truly are: honest, full of integrity, and intelligent. Getting an A is nearly impossible unless you are a native speaker and even then it's hard. If you are ever sick, don't tell her...she doesn't care.
