Excellent teacher, but don't take him if you feel like sleeping in class. He uses the textbook every night, and tests always have both a spoken and written section. If you pay attention, participate, and do the homework you'll get along great.

For hw you have to study about a page of words and write 5 sentences on any of those words per class. Tests are speaking and writing, the writing part is very demanding, you have to write present indicative as well as write the english version of spanish words

This class is difficult if you haven't taken Spanish in high school, but it's all the easy introductory Spanish at first (like numbers, colors, clothes, food) and the hw is studying a page of vocab words & creating 5 sentences. For tests, you will have to converse with another student, and half the class isn't listening bc they're studying

I agree 100% with what the person below me said. I took him 2 years ago and unless u made his class a priority, he made your life miserable. He read your test grades allowed, embarassed u if u got something wrong, and had u talk a convo in spn in front of everyone. Need I say more, this man is very rude and u will hate it if u r not s spn major.

I honestly don't understand how anyone could give him a good rating. He's so nasty, condescending, rude and abrupt. He completely takes the fun out of learning a language and the class is so dry and boring. Not interesting at all. DO NOT take spanish with him. You will regret it!!!!

Awsome teacher! Seems intimidating at first but just wants you to do well. Uses index cards to call on people. You use the textbook everyday because you get quized on vocab every class- causes alot of anxeity but you learn alot from it. Dont take if u hate speaking, part of every test is having anconversation in front of entire class. I would highly recommend him easy class!

At first he can be intimidating but he is an excellent teacher and he wants everyone to do well. Before every test he spends the entire class before revieweing and practicing speaking. He is quarky but thats not a bad thing

He is pretty good. I had him for two semesters for 151 and 152. You do alot with vocabulary. Homework is bascially just studying the vocab and you get quizzed on a word every day. The tests are ok and there is alot of speaking parts and he is very fair with his index cards for picking students. Overall you should take him.

hes a really good teacher and he really knows what he's talking about. he always adds his 2 cents in about everything. theres a vocab quiz like everyday but u just get called to give the definition for one word its not bad. the tests are easy but theres always a speaking part. a lot of speaking in the class but hes a really good teacher

It's an easy class. He will call on you alot to participate in class. There is an oral part to every examination. The H.W is to study vacab. words and write 5 sentences. He is a great professor, and I would take one of his classes again.

As long as you keep up with the work and pay attention in class, it's an easy class. He will call on you alot and uses "the cards" (which are index cards with your names on them) to determine everything. There is an oral part to every examination, so if you don't like speaking in front of people, I don't recommend him. Overall, a great teacher

Coming from someone who is currently taking this professor (& who had absolutely NO spanish experience prior to this class), Velez is an outstanding teacher who really knows his stuff. I am planning on taking him for Spanish 152 after this semester finishes. As long as you study your vocabulary, you will do amazing in this class.

If you dont like to be put on the spot dont take this class. He will call on you in every class. But not that hard if you do the vocab. vocab is about 50 words every class, he will ask each person 1 word you get 20 points if you get it right. get it wrong its -20. 5 right = 100 as a grade. You will learn a lot if you do the work.

This class was really simple compared to high school. he always gives you the spanish and you have to know the english so it's a piece of cake. definately reccommend him to anyone who just needs a credit for a language...oral things in front of the class are annoying but we only had to do two this semester and he grades so easy..def take...EASY A
