Fernando is SO nice and funny, but he makes this class harder than it needs to be. He would teach a concept, immediately add a bunch of exceptions to it, and give you a tiny activity to practice it in class- that's it. Study guides were also not very similar to exams. I have never ever struggled with a Spanish class before this one.

Profe Fernando was a pretty good professor with pretty engaging lectures and he is really energetic and funny. It can be slightly difficult to understand him at times, and his slides that he posts can be best understood when you're in lecture, its hard to understand if not. Also, the first couple weeks of this class are the hardest, lock in asap.

I liked Fernando a lot as a lecturer, but the course itself was super fast-paced and really difficult to manage. He was always super entertaining during class and focused a lot on practice problems and questions, but I think the class itself was his downfall.

He's a good lecturer who genuinely cares about his students and what he teaches. He explains things well and he is a fair grader. The grades for this class are mostly based on essays, but it's important to keep up with the reading and grammar also.

Fernando always brings a motivating and energetic vibe to class and sometimes a few jokes. I have found him very helpful and attentive to my questions in the course and although the content is in Spanish, I can almost always understand what he saying and what is going on. Only con is that he gives us like 30 sec. to 1 min. for 5+ question problems.

429 was a fascinating class! Fernando's enthusiasm for the subject matter makes it that much better. Great lectures and fair exams as well.
