LOVE DR. BOST!! He is extremely passionate about Spanish and loves spending time with students. Tests are not bad just a lot of essays. If you can write and know your grammar you should be fine. A lot of homework and he sometimes forgets to post it until the night before; live by your email. Would definitely take again and loved the class.

Dr. Bost is clear with his expectations and is eager to answer questions from students. His knowledge of the language and personal experiences in Spanish speaking countries adds an interesting layer to the course.

Comment:
Very clear but emails you the assignments before each class, instead of putting them all in the syllabus prior to the term. It is not very interesting and you have to predominantly self-teach. The tests are very extensive and cover everything, they are difficult, you must study! If you aren't self-reliant, don't take this class.

Dr. Bost is fantastic! His class isn't easy, but he is extremely helpful and very entertaining. Possibly one of the funniest professors at Furman who also helps you learn Spanish pertaining to real subjects. Absolutely fantastic, definitely take the class.

Class can get tedious but he's a pretty fun guy. Don't take unless you really want to improve your Spanish ... he is nitpicky.

He was really cool. However, if you're not that great at spanish don't take it. You need to be really proficient to get a good grade. I got a C which I had to work very hard for.

He's a big Tar Heel fan, but he is the man. Best class I've had at Furman without a doubt.

Bost is amazing! I love how interesting class is and his love of the language is obvious. Always do the readings, pay attention to discussion, participate in class, and reread before the tests. His tests are pretty simple, but he can catch you with random quote identification.

He knows how to make spanish easily understandable which is a plus. Tests are all pretty much writing and identification (which you must identify in spanish). He is a hard grader but not too hard to completely slash your grade. Like someone said a B is pretty manageable not sure how to get an A though without being a lot better at Spanish than me.

Dr. Bost is a great teacher. He knows so much about the spanish language and is able to convey it in a fun and meaningful way. His class is definitely challenging but manageable. Do all the work and readings, pay attention in class, and don't try to overcomplicate your writings and you should be alright.

One of the best professors I have had at Furman. His lectures are very good and entertaining. He doesn't give many A's though. Class is very easy to get a B in, but extremely hard to get an A. Regardless his class is worth taking.
