Comment:
This prof. changed my life for the better. He was so intelligent and genuine. There are only a few like him in the dept. Jefferson is also great and there is a another instructor who is also caring and loving and teaches almost the same as Prof. McGovern, her name is Marilene. But Prof. McGovern is the best of them all. No one can ever replace him

He's awesome. Funny, helpful. Just go by his study guides for the midterm and final and you'll do great. Also attend class. Taking his class was one of the best experiences I've had at UCSB. He's just great. Him and Jefferson are the best I've had in spanish courses.

McGovern is a fantastic teacher! He is very clear on the material and he explains the stories/poems extremely well by relating them to things in our lives! He gives you a study guide for the midterm and he does not test you on anything other than what's on that! The final was 3 short take-home essays! He is helpful and the class is always fun!

Comment:
I'm one of "McGovern's TAs" and just want to clarify something: he is not your professor. Rather, he is the director of the Language Program at the Spanish and Portuguese Department. He is a professor for upper division classes and classes for graduates only, not for elementary-advanced Spanish classes. Thanks!

I have now taken several spanish classes and not seen my professor. I will not deny that the TA's have been quite good, but I would love to meet my professor.

He tells you what you need to know for the tests and is very helpful. Seems very approachable and fun-loving. It's just up to you to read, but it's not hard. I would highly recommend him. He makes 18th and 19th century lit better ti read.

Dr. McGovern was the best prof. I ever had during my academic life. He is so intelligent and he encourages everyone to succeed in academia. I wonder why he is not teaching at one of those Ivy league schools because he has what it takes. He is brilliant!
