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.
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.
