Comment:

Podol is an amazing teacher. If he has given you trouble in the past, it is merely because you have put no effort at all. If you ask for help he will go out of his way to help a student. Have you seen his office? he has nothing but material to help students. He has never let me down and has gone out of his way to help me even with other teachers

Comment:

This class is a great class and Dr. POdol makes it a great time to be in the class. Dr Podol is all about helping people who dont understand and if you show any kind of interest you are def. on his good side. A real passion for helping people makes him a great teacher. He sometimes gets angry easily but he doesnt mean to and gets over it easily..

Comment:

Podol is so nice, although he seems kind of scatterbrained. The only thing I can think of as to why some people may not like him is if you have had no spanish in high school. He speaks mainly in spanish and it can be confusing. But he makes class fun and he is overall a good professor, probably my favorite so far.

Comment:

He's really nice. Like, I'm fluent in spanish but my reading sucks and he was very considerate of that. When we had to pick plays to write a report on, he picked out for me a fairly easy read. He's very considerate of student's needs.

If you plan to have a fun class, take something else. It is not the most difficult or the worst class, but it has a close second.

One of the worst professors I've ever had. Not only was he unclear, but very judgemental. He feels threatened by anyone who is interested in the Spanish Culture and Civilization. Very unhelpful and insecure.

Comment:

Professor Podol is a good teacher, if you have any problems, he's willing to help you. All you have to do is pay attention, do the assigned assignments, and see him if you have any problems. It's looks good when u make the effort to understand.

Prof. Podol is a good professor for the students who are serious about learning the language. He can be challenging, but that's the only way you really can learn the advanced parts of a language.

He didn't explain things clearly. He knows the language but I do not feel as though he can teach it very well to others.

Comment:

He's challenging as a teacher and can come off as being a jerk, but not so much because he means to, he just doesn't seem to understand that stuff he says can be insulting! He's also a little eccentric, but one of the most helpful professors you can fi

He is critical, and he calls on you when you're not paying attention. But, he will help you if you ask, he answers questions well. He is a little eccentric, and he does foam at the mouth.
