Most incredible, passionate, caring, unbelievable teacher and person I have met. He cares immensely about his students and the world. He was so helpful and inspiring. I aspire to be like him. If you have the chance, take him, it will change your life in the most positive ways!

Comment:

I love him!!! He is the nicest, most genuine person in the world. He is very understanding and wants everyone to succeed. He is very passionate about pretty much everything, especially spanish. If you're willing to put some work into the class it's very rewarding. I was able to get a lot out of it without ever feeling stressed out. TAKE HIS CLASS!

Comment:

SUCH A GREAT PERSON! I really admire him as a human being. Not so much as a teacher. He's extremely passionate about spanish (and politics and peace and music and...). But I didn't learn anything really. Take home tests and quizzes. I'd love to take Span52 with him cuz I really like him and want to get my language requirement out of the way..

Probably the kindest person I've ever met. Most of the lessons are up to you to learn, but he will help you extensively if you ask and is a very, very fair grader.

Comment:

Yes is the most down to earth professor out there. He loves to bring real life problems into class which makes it more interesting. He is very laid back and is easy to talk to, if you have anything going on in your life he will talk to you if you want. He will also go to your concerts and other events if you ask him. He's just awesome!

Comment:

Sam's a great guy! He kind of leaves it up to you whether or not you want to learn a lot of Spanish- he gives you all the resources and help you need, but stresses conversation, practice and experience as the best ways to get better (textbooks only do so much). He really cares about his students, and is politically passionate.

Comment:

Love! This guy has such a big heart. His passionate tangents meander in political and environmental directions at times, in English, but his tests are easy, some homework is optional (but necessary for success and a good participation grade), he is a fair grader, and he cares about his students.

Comment:

Prof. G is a political enthusiast. Most class discussions involve him talking in english about China or the environment. Though it's nice that he is slack about teaching, I am probably worse at speaking spanish than ever before. He is a very easy grader and gives you lots of time for all assignments.
