Comment:
I love him! He is such a gem to have at school. He is hilarious yet serious, he is funny to have and he is always cheerful! Don't expect you can learn a lot in 3 months (which is a semester). You have work on you own in order to build vocabulary in Spanish. Professor Phillip did a great job on the grammar part in Spanish 101.

Comment:
I had him this semester. The only grades we got were tests and each test he would do a practice test that was almost an exact replica of the test with us. If you get good grades on 5 tests then you don't have to take his final. This was such an easy class, and he's pretty silly. I had a good experience, taking 102 with him next semester.

His tests are very easy. He Basically gives you tests the class before so you know exactly what to study. Only out of laziness will you get below an A. I did not learn much, but it was an easy A. The class was not all that fun though.

Very patient and helpful teacher. If you have any background in Spanish, you'll probably be bored - but for beginners - he was great. Very helpful! Gave a quiz (that we all went over) prior to every test. Glad I had him, really wish I could take my next spanish with him, but going to CCU.

if you desire to learn this level of spanish, stay at home and watch Dora the Explorer. His pronounciation is terrible, and this is coming from someone who's family speaks fluently. I learned more my freshman year of high school and that's sad

I will have to agree that this class is kind of a joke. Althought Professor Felipe is a very funny teacher this class is not for people who want to really learn Spanish, but for those who just want a basic understanding. This class is for students who have to take a language and just want an easy A.

This guy is a joke and a complete waste of time! I learned absolutely nothing in this class since he expects us to teach ourselves. Do not take this class if you have any desire at all to learn Spanish.

This was the first time I had taken a foreign language course, and with Felipe, I did just fine. If you need to take Spanish, he is the teacher you want. The class is laid back and easy, but you learn enough to keep it interesting.

HE'S COOL EVEN THOUGH SPANISH ISN'T. YOU CAN PROBABLY PICK UP ENOUGH OF THE LANGUAGE HANGING OUT AT WAL-MART AND UNDER SHADE TREES.
