Comment:

Paul was really cool. I didn't really learn a whole lot in his class, but he was nice and cared about his students. He keeps class interesting and says random things that will make no sense but will make you laugh. Example: well, its an up hill battle and no ones going to win the war. so try your best on this upcoming test.

Paul is an awesome teacher and really easy. He is really nice and gets everyone involved. He is also funny to listen to because he says really random things. Definitely try to get him! We had no online work at all!!

Comment:

Pretty easy. There was 1 paper, 1 test, several homework assignments, midterm, and a final. One thing that bothered me was he didn't correct people on things (like punctuation, grammar, other important stuff). He said he's not supposed to "overteach" so I guess he reached his goal. Nice guy although he didn't cancel for Thanksgiving ;)

Comment:

Laidback and nice, but doesn't really have that great of a Spanish accent for having gotten a phD. He kind of slurs. the class itself is pretty easy though, but that may be because I love Spanish.

Paul is a cool guy but I didn't learn much in his class. He isn't very organized but if you do the assignments you will get a good grade.

Wow, best teacher for 103 :). He's very laid back & makes the class really fun. He speaks very clear spanish during class, but he speaks in English when he explains upcoming tests & homework. 2 tests and a final, lots of online work (keep up with that!), and 2 oral interviews with a partner (not hard at all! very lenient). Definitely take him!

This class was very very easy to me, you just have to keep up with all the work. You meet on Mon, Wed, and Fri, and you have online work on tuesday and thursday, but they are really easy. Christofaro is very nice guy and is always willing to meet after class or help you with you grade, but its hard to tell if hes always there most of the time. I Pe

Good teacher---very laid back. Could be hot if he'd get rid of that tragic and painful-to-view mullet that would probably serve the university better if it were mopping the floors of our hallways. Overall, take the class!

Mr. Cristofaro is an extremely nice dude. His class isn't too challenging with a focus on individuals. He cares for his students greatly and always has a big smile on his face.

Comment:

I had him during his first semester teaching-- he tries almost too hard, as though he is going to get yelled at my a department head. Sometimes disoganized, but nice. And he looks like Keanu Reeves with long hair!

Not very organized. Tests are easy but you probably won't learn much.
