He was incredile. Cared about his students, remembered details about them, was fun to talk to, and overall made it a great experience. Low pressure, and was always available outside of class to help if something didn't make sense. Tests were online, quizzes were super easy, and essays were thoughtfully prepared for. Awesome guy overall.Rate My Professors ↗
Best professor I've had! Very caring and understanding, and makes learning fun.Rate My Professors ↗
Hands down the most genuine professor I've ever had. Remembers everyone's names and facts about them like their hometown and what they want to be. One girl accidentally dropped that she went to a darty and he went on calling it a "diesta" for the rest of the semester. He prepares you for every quiz/test and cares about everyones success.Rate My Professors ↗
Alex was great! I had him for an early morning class and it was honestly bearable because of him and our small class size. The way content was approached in class made it super easy to learn and engage with the material, and Alex was always available for any questions or concerns we had, either during class or after.Rate My Professors ↗
Mr. Lara is an excellent teacher! He is super kind and cares a lot about his students success. He's also very charismatic, funny, and entertaining. As a native speaker I found this class to be helpful and insightful. Work load is not bad at all, study for the exams and you will do well, do your assignments and you will do well. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!Rate My Professors ↗
Highly recommended!! Absolutely a good teacher. Professor Alex Lara cared about his students' success. The grammar was explained very clearly and detailed in his classes. I would definitely take his class again if he teaches higher level Spanish in the future!Rate My Professors ↗
