Talks in Spanglish a lo, very knowledgeable about the material, and really cares about his students. Wants participation, but there's not that much room in class for it. Easy if you pay attention and attend class.

Not sure what everyone is raving about. Cudlipp is nice and all, but I could not STAND sitting through this class. He just stands up there and re-reads everything we were supposed to read as homework. Ignores raised hands even though we're supposed to participate. Didn't find any of the readings enjoyable. Take another lit class...

Professor Cudlipp is amazing. I learned so much in his class, partially because the book is really helpful, but mainly because he is a great teacher who is enthusiastic about Spanish. If you have a chance to take one of his courses, do it!!!

Most adorable professor ever. Take his class - he helps you understand and the work is fairly easy and you leave understanding Spanish grammar almost perfectly. Review old homework material for exams.

I've had him before, and he still hasn't changed--a great professor! He tries to make lecture stimulating, but it can be difficult to do. Study the guides for exams very well, take good lecture notes, and you'll be all set on the exams. A few question sets for some of the stories, but giving them enough time beforehand to review will serve you well

Professor Cudlipp is a great man with a terrific sense of humor. Grammar isn't all that interesting, but he maintains a good attitude about it and tries to make students enjoy the material. Didn't really study for the exams, but pulled off an A in the class. Review old homework problems from the packet and you'll be fine. I will take him again.
