Comment:

He was average. I was very annoyed that I was 0.2 away from a B but didnt get it (let that speak for itself). He gives 200 assignments but theyre short and you get time to do them. Having him through COVID-19 made it stressful but he was manageable. Some exams can be entirely found on CourseHero! Also, I had him for 112 and 114 along with 213.

He will not help you pass what you get is what you get he will not reopen any assignments, he will not curve your grade, he will not drop any low grades assignments he doesnt care. He grades though. Youre responsible for everything even when its not your fault

If you miss homework he will not reopen it, all homework are on Pearson do all your homework theyre worth a lot. you will have two oral exams & about 4 exams. Try not to miss class more then 3 times he is strick . He want things done only his way, hes not a cool professor. He dont do extra cred he will not help you pass he end class early

Incredible professor. Makes the class enjoyable and easy to understand. Goes above and beyond to help students understand the language. As long as you participate, study and pay attention in class, this class will be a breeze for you. Wish I could take him for all of the spanish classes.

Comment:

Lazy professor puts 0 effort into teaching. Exams are practice tests from txtbook, hw from txtbook website, even uses the "grade" the website provides as final grade. Class is only reading aloud from txtbook and doing chapter questions. Calls people randomly to answer Qs. Loves to brag about how "hard" his class is. Knows to speak, not to teach.

One of the best professors I've taken in CSI. Always willing to help out students and go over whatever you're confused on. If you struggle with spanish like me, then do whatever it takes to enroll in his class. For once in my life, spanish class made sense to me!

He is willing to help you and doesn't make you feel bad when you're wrong. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you don't understand something. Very nice and is fair with grading. I took him for two semesters and got an A both times. You definitely need the textbook, it counts as participation. Tests are based on exactly what was taught in class.
