Comment:

Um yea he was very vague in his lectures but very picky.... I took only this class and I was going to tutors and trying my best. Read the textbook... the more outside sources you have the better your chances. I can see he means well but it was just hectic and stressful.

Comment:

He made class very fun. I learned a lot about different culture and the world and just about life in general being in his class. i took him for two semesters. he is only "rude" or "unclear" if he notices that you as a student don't follow his rules such as texting or taking person breaks. that is this only time he will be sarcastic if you're lazy

Worst teacher ever. Was all over the place, always yelling and super rude. Did not care about his students and wouldn't focus on any questions anyone had. I complained to the department chair because he was that horrible. Needs to be fired.

Comment:

Professor De Leon is quite a character. Like many college professors he is very opinionated and likes to share his liberal point of view. Fine whatever, its almost tolerable. The problem i had with De Leon was his physical teaching habits. He doesnt pay attention to the classes needs and he gets uncomfortably close to students. Didn't lean a thing.

Best professor ever :-) He's funny, and a bit sarcastic. The materials are very basic, so there shouldn't be any reason not getting an A.

Comment:

He's ok. He's very sarcastic and isn't very helpful when you need help. He also isn't very clear and runs through exercises even though you can tell the class isn't quite getting the pronunciations. Not very easy, you really have to spend a lot of out of class time with the vocabulary. When he's having a bad day he'll make sure you know.

Comment:

If you have no knowledge of spanish, this class is not for you. He expects way too much from non speaking students. I studied 6 hours a day and still had a very hard time. I expected a lot of homework but he's something else. You will fail if you dont know spanish already!!

Comment:

Quirky, broaden your horizons and you will get more than you expect from this 101 class. I did the work, all the work, and learned more than I thought I would. Sorry to say I saw many students not taking an active interest in their education. Bragging about not doing the work and struggling. Go figure. Looking forward to visiting abroad.

Comment:

A very interesting professor. A bit too flamboyant for some, although I came to look forward to his class. Heavy on theatrics and cultural topics. Less focus on textbook.In short, this professor is not for everyone but those that stick it out and do the work get a reasonable grade.

parlez-vous francois? this teacher did not get many ratings on his french, however, alot of low-blows on his spanish --- and he appears to be hispanic. oh, the irony -__- will give him a try, possibly, since french is a review, and spanish wouldnt hurt either, since i'm pretty legit in that too ^.^ au revoir!!!!!! les espero lo mejor!!!!

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER UNLESS YOU WANT TO TEACH YOURSELF!!!! The only thing that this teacher will teach you is cultural stuff. You will have to learn the vocabulary and verb conjugations on your own because he will not review them in class

Comment:

This was the worse professor I have had up at Mesa College. All he did was prance around doing ballet stunts, drink cough syrup and eat chalk. I got nothing out of this class, except Mr. De Leon's hatred for Jody Foster. If you are truly interested in learning Spanish, I would NOT recommend learning it from him! I don't know how he still has a job.

Comment:

He provides clear expectations, explicit guidelines, and many opportunities for extra credit, so unless you choose to miss class, there is no reason why you can't get a good grade--learning about culture is inextricably linked to language; if you think it's irrelevant you shouldn't be learning a language. He's funny and I enjoyed his class.

I did not learn anything. I had to teach myself. He isnt fond of girls. He is very big on culture. He speaks multiple languages to you while in class, very confusing. Tests are hard. Never ever take him.
