Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
I loved Severino. He was very quirky and tried to make jokes all of the time, even if they wern't funny at all. In the beginning of the semester, he assigned mini 1-2 page papers to write almost ever day, but it got better. He is super helpful in office hours- especially with the composições. Overall great class!

Sev is a great professor and very simple. There's not a lot of homework and only a few "pop" quizzes. He expects you to participate though, so going to class and paying attention is important.

Class is very fun and easy, expect to talk a lot and be sure to participate. The compositions are fairly simply if you prepare them in advance like you are supposed to.

his class is rather easy for the people that go in to his class and are fluent there are no exams just essays and a 8-10 pg final if you dont do well on the essays dont expect a good grade. but if you try you will always get at minimum a "b"
