David took over teaching my class half way through the semester and it was a very easy transition. He is nice and got to know everyone's names. He was extremely lenient with gradings and deadlines, but I still felt like I learned from him. Viva el David.Rate My Professors ↗
Super casual, funny, and nice. One of my favorite teachers ever. I was in a 2 hour section but it never felt like more than 1. Very lenient on grading. I'm tempted to take another of his classes if possible even though I'm not really interested in pursuing Spanish.Rate My Professors ↗
David was an AMAZING Spanish professor. He was so willing to help whenever we needed, and he was pretty lenient on grading his tests. He's low-key hilarious, so the classes usually passed by quickly, and he was very relatable to his students. I would definitely take a class with him again!Rate My Professors ↗
David is the man. I had him for Spanish 204 and he made it the best Spanish class I have ever taken. Ever. He is funny, incredibly laid back, and has great interactions with the class. If you have the opportunity to take a class from this man, do it immediately. You won't be disappointed.Rate My Professors ↗
Dave is an incredible professor. I took this class as a senior in high school and he never made me feel out of place. He is laid back, very understanding and a very fun, interesting guy. Do not miss the opportunity to take his class!Rate My Professors ↗
A breathe of fresh air. He is very chill on grading and you don't have to go to every class. nice guy.Rate My Professors ↗
