Comment:

I HATE his teaching and I HATE the fact he is even a professor. He didn't correct ANYONE when they made a mistake. He disrespected my country because of his naivety. For how disorganized he is- we had appointments scheduled, which he missed, and after class he refused to admit we had one (even after I confirmed it twice). Terrible in every way.

Comment:

He is such a sweet man and wants you to learn, but relies way too much on the textbook (which is a joke of a book). Knowing spanish going into the class will help your grade, because sadly you won't learn much from the course itself. The class consists of speaking to classmates and bookwork, other than that there is no teaching involved.

Relies too much on textbook and other in class exercises. Not very engaging especially if you actually want to be proficient in Spanish. An easy good grade- yes, but not much beyond that.

Comment:

Ohhh Bernardo. He's a nice man and funny. But a bit unclear. I missed class A LOT but still did well but that's only because I speak Spanish fluently. Some people were lost a lot. He's nice but he really needs to be clearer on things.

Comment:

HORRIBLE!!!!... it's sad but true. he is very disorganized and unclear, and doesn't speak English very well which is frustrating. was sick one day, and it took over a month(!!) to get an extra credit assignment- that i repeatedly asked for.ni definitely would not reccomend him unless you want to be totally confused.

I dont agree with what others have said. Bernardo is a great teacher! You can tell he really cares about teaching and wants his class to learn. He is a funny, enthusiastic professor. I suggest him.

He can't teach, and is VERY unclear... He makes things up as he goes (ex. oh I never said that) AND HE CAN'T MANAGE HIS TIME!!! Be ready to stay at LEAST 4 minutes after class EVERYDAY!!!

Very nice, but horrible at teaching. He definitely thinks up quizzes on the spot because he forgets that he has assigned them. I took the final early and becuase it was not ready, I did half of what everyone else did. never knows what is going on.

Comment:

NICE PERSON!!! Not a good teacher. It's hard to know what he wants you to do because he is unclear most of the time. He wants you to have a fun time, but his instruction is lacking. I am discouraged that he's a teacher here at Ithaca. I expect more!

He's wonderful. He challenges his students but that's important. He's interesting and very clear. Whoever said his accent is hard to understand must be deaf in the first place.

Comment:

He talks in Spanish most of the time, which would be good only if we knew the language. He is not clear at all and rarely answers questions that the class has. He's nice and fun but I wouldn't recommend him as a teacher.

Comment:

He talks very fast and in mostly spanish which makes it hard for beginner level. His tests are very difficult, and I did poorly on a couple, yet he gave me a B+ in his class. He must of rounded the grades so much. He is a nice little man though.
