I had Professor C for Spanish 240 this past semester, and I loved it! The material learned in class is very difficult stuff, but he does a great job explaining it. He is hilarious, and makes so many dad jokes, and he keeps the class engaged. But do not skip. If you skip, you will surely be lost and 240 is a difficult class to get caught back up in.

Dr. Couture is probably my favorite professor I've ever had! He makes everything so easy to understand and lightens the mood with lots of jokes. In class, we do games to understand the topics and the course is evenly paced. There is a lot of online homework but you can keep retrying until you get a 100!

N. American and Carribean lit was the first class I had to read an entire novel in Spanish. He made the experience much less painful but it was still a difficult class.

I haven't had a lot of luck with Spanish teachers throughout the years. But everything changed when I took Mark's class. He is so funny and he makes you want to show up for class. Weekly vocab quizzes but they aren't difficult if you study. We watched clips in Spanish on Friday's. He's an amazing teacher, if you're taking Spanish 231 you want Mark.

I really loved taking SPAN 240 with Mark! He is absolutely hilarious with his dad jokes and funny stories. In my opinion, Mark teaches the material extremely well and is really passionate about Spanish. I would 10/10 recommend taking classes with Mark over anyone else except Lori. Movie Fridays is a legit recognized holiday in his class. 10/10

I had taken two classes with Couture and will be taken another one. His classes are fun and he loves to joke around. There is not a lot of work to do outside the class and he does give you extra credit for attending Tertulias. Couture makes sure that everyone understands the topic and that no matter what everyone is having fun.

This class was better than I anticipated. Mr. Couture is a wonderful professor on various levels. He makes sure everyone understands the material. His personality makes the course fun. There are a normal amount of tests, but they are super easy if you simply pay attention in class. I would take his class again.

Super nice and helpful. Little tough if you've never taken Spanish before. Speaks Spanish a lot so it can get confusing, but does go over all the information that's going to be on the test the day before. Loves puns, he's really funny!

An amazing professor who has definitely helped me learn spanish in a different way than ever before. I would take him every chance I could and suggest anyone who has to take spanish take him because he is easy yet helps you learn. I've thoroughly enjoyed the year of classes I've had with him.

Awesome Professor! Very helpful and not much work assigned for out of class. Tests can be a bit tricky but if you attend the review session he pretty much gives you the test

Pretty great teacher so he makes it pretty easy to learn spanish if you are interested. I ended up making it my minor. but you have to buy quia online and bring your book to class everyday and deal with his jokes. He always gives you a study guide for the test.

Not too bad! Pretty easy class with study guides for the tests. Very laid-back, comfortable, funny professor. Also, very knowledgable, patient, and willing to help you learn. However, you have to be self-discliplined to actually learn the Spanish. Overall, good class!

I took two classes with Dr. Couture (I was a Spanish minor), and loved both classes. He has a great understanding of the Spanish language and culture, and he teaches very well. Very patient and fair. His classes are easy if you do the work. He's not too bad on the eyes either! Take a class with him if you can!

The class was easy. It was a good refresher course for my three years in highschool. Dr. Couture is pretty easy going and his exams are not hard at all if you study.
