Haan, is amazing. She really enjoys teaching, she is very caring, and is willing to lend a hand. Quiz'es everyday class meets! Homework you need to do, and Lab is very easy, just choose wisely! Haan does offer a few extra credit opportunities so take advantage.

I have gotten above a 95% in Spanish 101 and 102. I took this class with Haan and I got a D. I took this class again and received an A. He is rude and gives a ridiculous amount of homework. He is not helpful and makes you learn everything by yourself.The only class I have ever hated going to. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Comment:
Most AMAZING teacher I've ever had! Very intense and you have to be prepared to be embarrassed, but you learn SO much in the process. He's hilarious. Lots of extra credit and there is no reason for anyone to get anything less than an A in his class. He hands out the tests the class before based on class participation, no reason to fail a test!

Comment:
Can be a total softy outside of class... but is purposely really intimidating during class. Mind you, I did get a good grade. But I would probably transfer out of GV before taking him again. The public humiliation was just too much. You will learn because he does know his stuff & you'll be to scared to not know the answer.

Comment:
A horrible man who truly enjoys catching students off guard, calling them out, or trying to make them seem stupid. Very demanding and demeaning. I will say I learned a lot... but I then I could've also learned a lot from someone else who wasn't so mean. Would never take again. Do yourself a favor and avoid if at all possible.

Comment:
The worst college experience of my life. Pages upon pages of homework each night - prepare to live and breathe Spanish. Don't take this class unless you don't mind being called stupid and drilled on your Spanish knowledge in front of everyone. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! And DOES look like Clint Eastwood (which is a shame because I like his movies).

Comment:
Worst prof. I've EVER had. I've seen him make students stand up & mock them in front of the entire class. I do think he cares... because he grades the homework he assigns which is A TON! However, I cannot learn from his teaching style (won't let you take notes). I wouldn't take this class again if GV paid ME... that's how bad it was

He gave more homework than i've ever experienced. the work isnt too dificult and participation and attendance are like 50% of your grade, if you go to class and do your homework you will get a pretty good grade, i went to every class ended with the A and then didnt have to take the final

Comment:
I learned more from Sr. Haan than I have from any other spanish teacher. He makes fun of students, but its all in good fun and it makes you work hard to know your stuff. Participation is everything, so its not difficult to get a good grade. I would definitely take Sr. Haan again if I could.

He doesn't help you track your grade like other profs do. LOTS AND LOTS OF HW! If you take this class with him be prepared to live, eat, and breathe Spanish! I would def NOT take him again. He's also very rude and arrogant.

Comment:
He is a very hard man. The only reason people put effort forth in this class is because they are scared out of their mind of him. He likes to publicly humiliate his students and will call you stupid to your face. He will mock you constantly and will make you feel like an idiot every time you mess up.

Great professor. If you have no prior Spanish experience, it may be a harder for you. He's repetitive on important vocab, but other than that he covers a chapter per week and doesn't get behind. He gives a lot of extra credit! DON'T take his class if you're overly sensitive - you absolutely need to have a sense of humor. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

I ended up doing really well in his class but I am tell you DO NOT TAKE HIM. He gets a kick out of torturing people and has no conscience. I did learn a ton but it was at a very big expense! Do yourself a favor and do not take him!!!
