I loved Prof. Luis. He is very sweet, very good at answering questions, and giving us the confidence to speak Spanish. He explains how the quizzes are going to go. He wants to make sure that we understand what is being taught and understand what he needs us to do. Would definitely take him again

Best language class ever taken! Very approachable and helpful. Clear instructions and lectures with group activities. I was very shy about speaking Spanish, not anymore. Will work with you if you let him. Always ready to help in and out of class. I plan to take prof D again and recommend him if you want to really learn . 5 stars . Thank you prof D

Reluctant to take an online class but this has been my best experience. Prof. D is organized and communicative. The class structure is set up so you can follow it without a problem. You do have to read directions. I was having problems and he called me and guided me through the process which I found very organized. Expect lot's of work . Super !

Comment:

Absolutely confusing. Class syllabus and weekly lesson outlines do NOT make sense whatsoever. Emailed asking for clarification multiple times and was re-sent the weekly outline and syllabus. Book and online course do NOT match and there is absolutely no clear outline to what online needs to be done or when. Not able to work ahead at all.

Comment:

I've taken this class twice with two different professors. I passed them both, but have a higher grade with him because he is great! It's a lot of work no matter what teacher you take because there is a lot of lab work required. He is excellent and truly cares if you pass as long as YOU care if you pass. I would choose him again.

His online class is a lot of work but if you do it you will pass the class with flying colors. The website we use is Vhlearning and that's where all assignments come from. What's great about it is that you have multiple times to do an assignment to earn a 100. I would definitely take the class again.

Comment:

Although there were a lot of assignments in each lesson, coursework was generally very easy and understandable. This class was by far the best choice to take in the summer with my busy schedule. Would highly recommend taking Prof. Dobarganes.

Comment:

I took this Spanish Class and it was very hard, there were over 100 excercises, which was way to much in my opinion. I barely made it through all the lessons, Hes not very helpful, I only like one point to pass and he will not give it to you. There is no extra credit in his class, so if you want to pass do not take him.

The homework is online, you can do all of it at any time you want, he is very strict when planning out the semester so he is very reliable. Had a really fun time learning Spanish 1 in his class and am definately going to take Span 2.

Professor Dobarganes was a great teacher for the online course! There is a lot of work, but it is easy. He is extremely helpful and wants his students to succeed. I had issues with BlackBoard and he not only responded with a quick reply email, he called me to help me work it out. SUPER nice guy! I made an A, and will be taking him for Spanish 2

Comment:

I took his eight week class and made a B. I can speak some Spanish and it was good because he talks in Spanish a lot. If you know the verbs and words from 1 and 2 this class is an easy A. i held an A until finals I failed it and still got a B. So if you need to pass take it

Comment:

Before this class, I dreaded taking span but my degree requires it and I wanted to. Prof Felipe was very helpful and patient. There was no leeway on the tests, but he and the classwork were super helpful. He taught this class at a great pace. The small class size helped a lot. I highly recommend him. I was really bad at span before his class.
