Comment:

He's a Nic guy but the class is way too fast paced. I was doing okay in the beginning but felt like I was falling behind towards the end. Quizzes are kind of tough because he takes off points for spelling and accent marks.

Comment:

Definitely a good professor. One of the best I've had at St. Joes. Spanish is NOT my best subject but because he was organized and explained the lessons well I was able to pass both SPN 151 and 152. He's kind, respectable and has a great sense of humor. If you need help don't hesitate to ask. Would definitely recommend him.

Probably one of the best Spanish professors out there, such a nice guy. He's fast paced but you just have to keep up with the work. Gives extra credit on all quizzes. He really cares about your work. I would most definitely take him again.

Comment:

Single-handedly the greatest being ever put into existence. If you are a female, you simply MUST marry this man. If I was attracted to males and had the rights parts i would've proposed to him myself, but unfortunately none of those things are in my possesion, so i must admire from afar. No but seriously he's pretty chill and awesome. TAKE HIM.

Best professor ever! You don't need to have any prior spanish knowledge and you can still get an "A" in the class! Very funny and helpful too! If you want to learn a lot, but get an easy "A" or "B" I recommmend him to everyone! :)

Comment:

Awesome professor. Very helpful, class can move at a fast pace but he'll always slow down if someone gets stuck. Gives many quizes which are helpful and repeat many questions for absorption. Mid terms and finals are a piece of cake. No accent to worry about, he is a non native speaker. Excellent teacher.
