For Spanish 201 credit I studied abroad with Dr. Hughes and it was an amazing trip. Dr. Hughes has been doing the trip for 10 years or so and he knows everything about Guatemala. The trip was beautiful and relaxing Dr. Hughes was nothing short of really cool the whole time. I recommend him for the study abroad or any class he teaches in general!

Dr. Hughes was a great teacher for 201. There was online homework due each week, since it was online you would meet with a partner and the professor once a week via zoom. Two tests and a final as well as two online presentations. He is super helpful with questions and doesnt make you feel dumb if you dont know strong spanish

Such an amazing teacher. Very easy grader when it comes to tests like even the people who were struggling with the language got a B on them. His humor makes the class even better. Makes you interact with other students so it's easy to make friends in the class.

Amazing teacher, The class is always filled with laughter and I enjoyed every second of the class. He has some sarcasm, which makes him better. Not the hardest grader for 101, easily can get an A in the class

Horrible professor if you actually want to learn something. "Assigns" homework but never actually reviews or collects it. No critical feedback if you want to learn the language. Speaks English most of the time, so no real immersion. Is apathetic, doesn't care about students learning. Easiest class I've ever taken but no challenge, so worthless. :-/

Hughes' class was very fun and entertaining. He takes it pretty slow to sure student's understand. He was hilarious. He also LITERALLY goes over every test before giving it out, so take notes. We had no homework which was weird compared to Hans. But his was my favorite class in the semester. I wish I could take 315 next semester with him!

Dr. Hughes sure is interesting. He has an encyclopedic mind when it comes to languages and history. His sense of humor can be eyebrow raising at times but he does it on purpose just to bug :) He's a very caring professor who wants to see you succeed. 1010 would recommend. Also, his tests were fairly easy.

Prof Hughes seemed like he winged every lecture, which made the class pretty refreshing. He also is quite funny. He could have saved us from buying an expensive book if he just photo copied the stories/readings for us. Lenient on due dates and grading.

This was a great class!! Mr. Hughes is a great teacher. He was able to help me to understand topics in german that no other teacher had been able to properly explain. I would highly recommend taking him.

Spanish is the bane of my existence so I was a little worried taking this class at CSUSM. He is an awesome teacher. I received an A over a 5 week summer course and understood everything he was saying. He is interested in helping the students learn and is great!

I liked German before but because I learned so much and because he was such a helpful, nice, hilarious teacher, I decided to add German as a minor. His love for languages and teaching, and his eagerness to help and get to know each and every one of his students makes him the Best Language teacher I have ever had! Very understanding and flexible :)

Got off topic quite a bit, but is also totally hillarious! A few of his jokes were not appropriate though, but overall really quite FUNNY! Also, the grading isare evenly spaced across essays, short papers, quizzes, tests, and participation/attendance. I got a B+ without taking SPAN 101 or SPAN 102! Also, I got to write about New Zealand--- YAY!
