Comment:
Gerli knows a lot about a lot, but would often go on tangents seemingly to demonstrate this. I was often unsure what was relevant to the class and what was just him liking to hear himself talk for dramatic effect. He also switched between English and Spanish so not a lot of practice if you're looking to improve the latter.

Comment:
Gerli is brilliant. He seems to know everything that went on in Europe from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. He is great at pointing out big themes and tying them into other things (art, music, etc.) which is so interesting. My one complaint:he uses English at times and lets us to answer in English so you don't really improve your spoken spanish

Gerli rocks! I took him during my first semester here, and I'm taking him again because I think he is great. He can be a little confusing about the early history of Spain, but early Spanish history is difficult to understand. Not a super hard grader and he's really nice. Overall a great teacher!!

Comment:
Gerli was a great teacher who knew his stuff when it came to Iberia. Yeah he switched between languages but it's a 423 course so it's assumed that your atleast decent in spanish. Those who think the names were confusing just don't have an appreciation of the history of early spain. Just because it wasn't easy doesn't mean Gerli is a bad teacher.

Comment:
I hated this class. He would switch from spanish to english to spanish to arabic to spanish throughout the class while slurring everything as if we were all native speakers in all three languages. This was mainly a history class with a lot of names that sounded the same. It was aweful. Just aweful. Plus, he was really mean if you had a question. Or tried to answer one of his.
