Comment:

A very kind and sweet man. However, the topic became VERY dull and "dumbed down" once we reached the higher levels. GREAT for lower levels, not great for higher (I never took Lit with him, apparently he was great at that).

Decent professor. Speaks a little fast and is sometimes tough to understand, but his work is easy and slow-paced. It would be difficult to not understand the concepts in his course.

Great teacher, motivated and simpatico! I appreciated his humour throughout the class. Also, he speaks english and french (helpful), but mostly spanish during the class. Was my first spanish class and I think I really learnt a lot.

An excellent teacher, however, having a basic knowledge of the material beforehand is a plus. He's a very funny and compassionate person, but also a very demanding professor. Garaunteed to learn!

Great teacher, speaks mostly in Spanish which is good because you absorb the language better that way. Class is fun, and assignments/exams are easy.

He is awesome. He makes class very interesting and makes sure that everyone understands. He goes out and finds supplementary material so that we are sure to understand.

He makes the class interesting and fun. He tries to make sure that everyone understands before he moves on. He provides help for those that do not understand. The midterm is also ridiculously easy.

Comment:

Excellent! Lots of teaching in Spanish, so you hear/use it a lot. Explains well with miming and in English. Very helpful/encouraging, doesn't get upset at students' mistakes. Very fair marker. So long as you're willing to work at it, you'll do GREAT in his class.

Comment:

I took intro to Spanish because I wanted to learn the language, not because I already knew the language. I learned nothing from his class, as his method of teaching moved too fast! Greatly disappointed I was forced to drop the class.

When I asked him a question, he could only answer me in French or Spanish. English is the only other language I speak!

I felt like I was teaching myself everything. We didn't get enough practice speaking, which is something that is needed to learn a language.

A very nice man. However he speaks very little english. If you don't already speak Spanish, or French, don't exect to understand much in beginners spanish.
