I don't know if it is because this class was online for the first time, but I just didn't feel like he really taught me. We mostly learned from the textbook assignments and the class was so big it was hard to get participation points. He always posts the rubric and is an easy grader though. Lots of homework, but few tests/quizzes/essaysRate My Professors ↗
I respect any TA that lets me draw in class. Plus, total babe.Rate My Professors ↗
Easygoing guy as long as you come to class. Fun because he plays Spanish music before every class. Really slow on returning exams, homework, compositions, etc. Not always able to explain complex grammar of Spanish. Sometimes seemed like he didn't know the correct wording to use. If you like the hands off approach, you will do fine.Rate My Professors ↗
