He needs to retire and stop teaching. He get off the topic so many time and makes student feel stupid. Just retire and allow new Professor the chance. He needs to realize we pay for this class.

Comment:

Pretty Lame Prof all around. Spends all of class time reading out of the book and going off on stories. Most mind-boggingly easy class until you realized your being tested on things you haven't been taught. Wouldn't be bad if you were actually tested on what he talked about, like human evolution anything else that has nothing to do with Spanish

Comment:

Well I was warned against taking him and I had no choice. He WILL NOT teach you a thing. The only reason to attend class is because its mandatory. Cling to your textbook for dear life because all you will learn from him is details about himself. I cant remember learning a thing that was on a test in actual class time. Run far away

Comment:

Not a very good teacher, but class is easy enough. Prepare to learn directly from your book, and that applies to every class I've had with him. Attendance is useless, you either read the book in a group or listen to him ramble about his past, but it's mandatory.

Comment:

If you have interest in Spanish these classes will be just fine, but be prepared to hear many, many, many stories that are off topic from what you're supposed to be learning, but some of them are still interesting enough.

Comment:

I honestly thought this was one of the best spanish classes I have taken. This guy really knows spanish and can speak better than any other white person I've ever heard. If you really want to learn spanish, this guy can help you. If you just want an easy A to get your World Language done, he's probably not for you.

Comment:

He must find a different way to teach literature!! Every class period we went over questions in the book on the last chapter and then proceeded with the following chapter by giving us an overview of it....EVERY CLASS.For every class, we had to read a chapter. I didn't even know the students in my class because we NEVER did group conversations.

OMG, this class is ridiculous, you do not learn anything seriously. I have been taking spanish since 8th grade and he is by far the worst spanish teacher I have EVER had, and I have had my fair share, do NOT take class with him you will be bored out of your mind, all you do is follow activity after activity. He has NO TEACHING SKILLS!! >:(

Comment:

He really doesn't teach at all. You just go through the chapter page by page doing every excersise out loud. Tests are pretty easy if you were able to teach yourself the material. Also easy points on the student activities manuel. It's hard to listen to him all hour especially when he goes off on meaningless tangents. Don't reccommend him.

Comment:

This class was painful. He does nothing but assign homework one day and call out (by LAST name mind you) for answers the following. He does not teach this class, merely sits there and hopes we learn what we need to from the book. Will NOT take a class with this prof again if it can be helped.

Comment:

Pretty easy class. He uses a lot of Spanglish and goes off on a lot of tangents, but the homework and tests are fairly easy. He's willing to help you outside of class and offers chances to meet with him after every test. He takes attendance, but gives a few extra credit options in case you miss a day or two.

Comment:

What a waste of a class! He tells worthless stories every day and we only spend like 15 minutes doing anything Spanish. He thinks he's funny and he's not. The only people he likes are hot girls and people who are interested in his stupid trip to Mexico. Don't plan on learning anything in this class!

Comment:

The class is easy, even for people not very advanced in Span, the problem is falling asleep during it. He ends up speaking Spanglish all the time telling stories that are mildly funny, but waste classtime.

Extremely ****ed. Always had some sexual comment during his class. Uncaring as to what the students achieve. Relies totally on the book. Memorizing is key. Doesn't matter what the content is just need to memorize. Really disgusting all in all

Comment:

I learned nothing in this class. He only goes over the main ideas of the book, and then tests on details that were never discussed. He takes points away if you are more that 1 second late (even if class has not started).
