Comment:
Span 232 is standard and Andy was solid. Participate as much as you can in class and that'll help you not only to get on his good side, but also with your grade. Learn the irregular subjunctive verbs as early as you can... they are everywhere forever.

Andy was great, he made the best of a really boring course. He didn't have a lot of leeway in what the workload was like, but he did his best to make the class interesting and even though I did not enjoy the class, Andy was a fun professor.

Andy is the bomb. He's always so cheery in class, you would never know it if he was having an off day. He's also just overall very nice and really helpful if you ever have questions. Only 3 essays all year, and you can correct your mistakes to get 5 percentage points back. Wrote me the nicest note on my last essay of the year.

Comment:
Andy is a really nice guy and class isn't too boring. But he is a much tougher grader than I expected. I am struggling to get a B, along with almost all of my classmates. He also contradicts himself a lot and sometimes is confusing. His spanish also seems to be pretty Americanized and sometimes he doesn't know how to answer our questions.

Andy kind of intimidated me the entire semester I took his class but I learned a lot and really improved my Spanish conversation skills. I really liked most of the movies we watched and that's really your only homework besides studying for weekly vocab quizzes. Oral midterm and final, definitely need to study a lot but overall a helpful class!

Andy is the best Spanish teacher I have had at Michigan. He goes out of his way to make sure people understand the material. I learned a ton of new and usual vocab from this class and got to practice my speaking and comprehension. I am not good at spanish and needed to take this class for my major and I found it very manageable.

This class was very boring and dumb. The movies were good, but we did the same game during class and his vocab quizzes are cumulative and the random grammar he puts on them is annoying. I don't really recommend this class even though it isn't too much work.

Very unhelpful. It's a Spanish conversation class but he spent most of it talking in English. Same games every day, literally no instruction the whole semester. Refused to give any feedback both in class & on homework, and became quite rude when I asked him to correct my HW- said I should get a tutor if I wanted feedback. Your Spanish won't improve

Andy is a great professor. Class is really laid back and the work is not hard. He is a harder grader than you may think but it's still easy to do well.

Andy is an incredible professor. He began every class with lively Spanish music and he strove to make every class engaging. Andy made class fly by with his entertaining games, movies and tv clips of Anthony Bourdain. It is truly a joy to take his class and I highly recommend him to anyone that is taking a Spanish class.

Andy was always willing to help students. He held review sessions before the tests, gave us a review packet and would meet with students outside of office hours if a student needed help. After the first test I was worried about the class but with Andy's help I was able to end up with a good grade. Andy's a great teacher & you should take his class

Andy is a great professor that cares about his students. He's always available to help students and actually wants you to succeed and do well. Spanish teachers are notoriously bad at teaching/hard graders, but I found Andy to be clear and fair in his grading. I definitely suggest taking a class with him.

Andy is such a great spanish teacher. He really wants us to learn spanish and cares about his students. He makes his lecture interesting and fun. He knows what works and doesn't work with teaching spanish and the best way to learn because he was a student just like us. I highly recommend him he's the best

Awesome teacher who really cares about students doing well. Class is planned out very well and easy to follow. It is easy to do well in this class if you show you are trying and study the handouts he gives you. Made me like Spanish a lot more than I did coming in!
