TOUGH!!! but fair grader! he can fail you if you dont partcipate, even if you ace the tests. He really relies on a student's participation. If you do his "spanish drills" and ask plentiful questions. you will pass

A lot of people don't like him because he give homework everyday and has low tolerance but he's really not bad at all!He's hilarious and very sweet. If you do all your homework and take notes you'll get an A.

One of the best professors I have had. He has his own style but it keeps him unique. I recommend him but others thought he was hard. Study, pay attention and participate and you will do fine.

3 tests/semester. 10 sentences/test. Gives you the sentences class before exam. Do you hw, go to class, be on time & participate. I got two B's on my first two exams, did all hw & missed only 1 class he & exempt from the final and gave me an A 2 semesters in a row. He is old as Zeus & can't speak/write well. Despite this EASY & AWESOME! SAAAAAA!

He is not that hard. As long as you go to class and pay attention you will be fine. He goes over the tests the class before and the review is the test just a little changed.

Comment:

Dr. Saa is pretty old, but that doesn't mean he isn't one of the hottest human beings alive. He knows he is handsome. He isn't too hard. You have to participate otherwise he will get angry. Go to the test reviews and memorize the questions and answers he gives you - they are basically the test. Just go to class and you'll be fine!

Go to class, participate, bring your book, learn the study guides, easy a. tough to understand and dont ever bother telling him he is wrong, even if he is, just make a note and ask him nicely later then he might help you.

Don't let 1st impressions fool you. He is a good teacher and he really wants you to get the material.He will grade you more heavily on class participation than on actual test grades.He just wants to see you putting in the effort. ATTENDANCE IS A MUST AND DON'T FORGET YOUR TEXTBOOK!

Comment:

oh my god... this prof. shouldn't be teaching. he's hard of hearing & never explains ANYTHING the way it's meant to be explained. Granted, i already know how to speak spanish & even i was confused with what he was saying. test are fairly easy, just pay attention during his review. Though, i wouldn't recommend if you've don't know jack of spanish.

Comment:

OH MY GOD this guy cannot teach worth ANYTHING! he doesn't explain stuff, expects you to know it right off the top, and yells at you if you get it wrong! He sorta reminds me of that really really short, old guy from the simpsons. I think he may have been a Drill Sergeant or something cuz he is strict!

He was great when I took his class in the early 80's. He was funny, insightful, kind and compassionate. I really was thankful for having him as my Prof back then; sorry to hear he has become hard of hearing and otherwise unwell...

Comment:

This guy is always willing to help anyone who asks but struggles at keeping the class' attention at times. He wants students to show up and try more than anything else. Effort accounts for a lot. The subject matter is very repetitive and difficult to grasp at times and can get rather boring. Paying close attention to his test reviews will pay off.

very hard and difficult to understand. His accent is heavy and his lectures are very disorganized. He seems ancient, he should have retired 10 years ago. I didn't hate the subject matter, I just hated him

Comment:

Dr. Saa was one of the best teachers I had during my time in Exchange. He is very educated and his mind is deep. Yes his classes are hard but they should be you are supposed to be learning. I had him for History of Spain and I found the class to be very interesting, yes I struggled with it but I did the best I could and he graded me fairly. I honestly believed that I deserved a lower grade than what I got. He is old school so be prepared. He is a real teacher and he lives for teaching.

Comment:

He is not a fair grader, im not sure he even knows any of his students. You think you will do well until u get ur grade in the mail and he is no where to be found! He put people on the spot in class. He is very stern, thinks hes funny, and is hard to understand because of his accent. i wouldnt recommend him for spanish unless u already know the language because u wont learn anything to prepare u for spanish 2!
