PORT 1110

The class is super easy if you're decently fluent in Spanish. I hardly studied, because it all made sense and could be remembered based off of Spanish. The online workbook "MyLab" is repetitive and pretty useless, as well as being time-consuming, though it's mindless work. I thought the professor was kind of "eh". She graded leniently, often marking errors on quizzes and giving full credit anyway. We could have covered more/learned more if she'd taught differently.

Professora Lilian is incredibly sweet and thoughtful, although not the best language instructor I've ever had. I still definitely think the course was worthwhile. It felt like a high school class, with lots of workbook assignments (MyLab), compositions, and quizzes. This was time-consuming but useful. Class time was dedicated to oral activities from the textbook. I didn't have any Spanish or French going into Portuguese, but it wasn't a problem.

Profesora Lilian was a great professor! Super nice. She moved a bit quickly, but that's as to be expected in a beginning advanced language class. Fair grading. Online homework throughout the semester, but it was easy. Good intro to Portuguese!

Professor Feitosa is such a nice woman; really, I was taken aback by how easy she is to work with and how she makes things very accessible for her students. I appreciated it.

Also, she doesn't grade harshly and I think she wants her students to do well first and foremost. However, she starts speaking Portuguese on day one, so be prepared for that.

Lilian is the nicest professor I've ever had. She's a great person, and has this super positive energy that's so rare in professors. Take this class. You won't regret it.

easy class, but unbearable amounts of busy work

Prof. Feitosa is seriously the sweetest teacher ever. The class wasn't that hard, even with a limited background in French and Spanish. The MyLab assignments were tedious and time-consuming but helpful.

Great course to take out the language requirement. all you need is 1110 and 2120 for the college. Lilian is very sweet and grades easy but there is a decent amount of work involved. If you do the work it's almost an guaranteed A. well worth it in my opinion

I really feel like I actually learned a lot of Portuguese through this course in just one semester and ended with an A despite having no previous experience in Spanish or French. That being said, Professora Feitosa can be very disorganized at times. She is super nice, but not the best at staying on top of posting assignments, creating tests on time, and struggled with the overall scheduling of the course. And, unsurprisingly, there is a LOT of homework. It was definitely annoying to have to prioritize this course over my other classes at times, but it is understandable since it is an intensive course. Overall though, I definitely recommend if you are looking to fill your language requirement.
