Prospero taught my MA/PhD levels. He is tough, hard thinking and critical. You had to read a lot, do research and think on your own. I learned so much from him; reading lists were broad and profound, involving many languages and traditions. Always loyal to his students and truth/art--unlike others. He is a brilliant man, teacher and poet-friend.Rate My Professors ↗

Dr. Saiz was one of the true scholars I saw as an student and later as a professor. He was always prepared to teach very difficult materials from the Greek to the French thinkers. Other just were mercenaries with no vocation and very poor knowledge, they came to the seminars to force the students to agree with them. Thanks Profe!Rate My Professors ↗
