Garvida Mignette

I had her for SPN 101 and SPN 301. Most unprofessional educator. Not encouraging of her students. I called her out for unfair testing (we all failed 2 tests) and after that she made my stay in her classroom very difficult. She sighed and rolled her eyes through my entire oral exam and failed me on everything she could. Would not recommend

Worst professor by far I made an account just to rate her. She's rude, interrupts and laughs at students for mistakes, and reads off slides just for you to do 80% of the learning on your own time. Can't teach at all made me lose all interest in Spanish. Definitely isn't for super beginners. Had to drop the course, I couldn't take it anymore

Worst teacher I have ever had in my life. She can barely teach, she can barely hear, she confuses herself with what she says and gets mad at the class for not understanding. If tmu wants people to maintain interest in spanish they will force her into retirement or simply fire her.

If you want to learn Spanish take Professor Garvida's course. Yes, she does call out students (it's called active participation) to answer questions, and she corrects them -- that's what learning is all about, and it helps the other students as well. At the end, you will find yourself beginning to think in Spanish -- isn't that what it's all about?

This professor laughed at me during the final oral exam. Completely unprofessional and makes students feel horrible! If you are a beginner at Spanish, avoid this professor at all costs.

CAN NOT TEACH NEWBIES. SHE EXPECTS YOU TO KNOW BASIC SPANISH. THERE WILL BE FAVORITISM TOWARDS WOMEN AND NATIVE SPANISH STUDENTS. There will be native Spanish speakers in this class so be prepared for the bar to be high.

this teacher cannot teach. Plain and simple. For someone who is a beginner in this course, please do not take it with her. when we ask her a question and actually interested, she purposely embarrasses us and calls us out when we don't know something.

Absolutely the worst prof I have ever had ever, she has a lot of favoritism in her class. She is a really tough marker and makes fun of you mid class for not knowing stuff. She made me hate the course and wishing never took it with her. So much workload and at some point we literally had 3 tests in the SAME DAY. Horrible prof !!!

Garvida is the most accommodating professor I met. But she may not be the best at explaining some concepts, and there is a lot of homework and assignments, it's not hard but it's just a lot work. Take it if you want but don't get discouraged if you make mistakes in-class.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course. The professor was excellent, and the varied and frequent assignments greatly enhanced the learning experience for Spanish. I would definitely choose to take another course with her in the future!
