Comment:

This professor is not worth taking a class with because of his tough grading criteria. He also has a vague grading rubric and does not clearly explain why you received a certain grade. He is not easy to get in contact with making this class much more difficult than it should. Also this professor does not evaluate effectively which creates discrepan

I had him back in '99 and he was tough but honest and nice professor. I went to Spain with him for Verano Espanol and he was totally awesome out there!

Comment:

Prieto is the best. I cannot say enough wonderful things about him. He is hilarious, awesome, the coolest professor on campus. You will fall in love with this guy. His class is nothing to sweat about, basically a review if you're familiar with Spanish. He does speak fast and all in Spanish, so may be hard for some to understand.

Really laid-back, he gives you the materials need to do well but it's up to you to do the work, he doesn't hand it to you on a platter the way some profs do. Def not a pushover, but really cool guy.

Alberto was cool as hell. His great personality and teaching style made learning (about whatever-- El Cid to American politics ;-) a lot of fun. I miss him and his classes!

He is very laid back and some students take that to mean that he is a pushover or easy. Not so. He can be a very hard grader. He makes class a lot of fun, and I felt comfortable. Pay attention to detail when taking tests.

Calixto is the man!! I took him once and then the next semester took another of his classes even though I didn't need the class at all. He cares about every student and their success in the class. You will never have a better, more enthusiastic professor than him.

I honestly fell in love with Spanish because of Dr. P-C. He is a wonderful teacher; funny, warm, and most of all, he treats you like his friends. Take him! He's awesome!

Comment:

He is very easy on a daily basis. He comes on average 10 minutes late to class. Sometimes we don't even learn Spanish, we talk about politics or something. He isn't a very good teacher, you have to teach yourself. But the class is cool.

Native from Spain, so he teaches his classes in all Spanish. If you can pick up Spanish from listening, then definitely take your courses from him. Very nice guy.

Comment:

A really nice guy but I didn't like the way he taught. He's into immersion which is great if you have a little idea about the language but difficult if you don't. probably ideal for advanced students.
