Great guy, interesting personality. There are a total of 6 projects, 6 vocab quizzes, weekly hw's in the textbook, and audio assignments which are not hard if you put in an effort. If you're thinking of taking Spanish throughout college (ex. minor, major, abroad), he will help you make room in your schedule and know what classes you need to take.

Even though this class is partially online because of COVID, I learned more in this class than almost any other I have taken. He is a thoughtful professor who know his material and technology. Take him.

Dr. Gaugler puts a lot into his classes and makes the material interesting. I learn a ton in his classes and he is one of my best professors.

Dr. Gaugler is not a great communicator. He does not know how to reach out to students and is not accessible outside of class. He has an interesting personality, but is very disorganized and you can tell is never prepared for the class day. Wouldn't take a class with him again

This class is considered a culture class, but in some ways it's a history class. You do watch a TV show that the assignments counts as equally to the midterm and final. If you don't do that great on the midterm, you can still get an A- in the class. Midterm and final are not easy, but feasible. He's overall a great professor and very easygoing.

Ive taken Gaugler 3 straight years and he continues to be one of my fav professors @ Marist. First, he is very tech savvy and uploads everything to ilearn. He taught his entire spanish culture class this year through a show, which only cost $40. That's way better than some pricey textbook. The show was great too. Interesting, passionate prof. Take!

This is the worst class I have ever taken at Marist. I can tell you the guys life story and travel itinerary and that's about it. No real culture discussed. His midterm was not fair at all and the class is based on a TV show which takes 3 hours an episode to watch by time the VPN that you pay $40 for works. WORST CLASS EVER AVOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Professor Gaugler is fantastic. He loves language and unlike most professors @ Marist, he is very tech savy. He uses many websites and programs online to enhance learning. I love taking his Spanish classes, he really cares about his students and the progress you make!

He is super interesting but makes you work for your grades. He is a really nice guy and makes his class super personal. He loves language and gets super lost in the subject which hinders the productivity of the class, but thats what makes it enjoyable to attend. I did not sign up for this class but I'm very happy I was put in it. Great Experience

This class was a nightmare. Very difficult and the professor is not that helpful. The workload is extremely heavy and there is a lot of homework. There is one unnecessary research paper that will take up so much of your time. Overall, if you have an option to choose an FYS class at Marist, do NOT choose Words in the Wild.

Dr. Gaugler is a great guy. He gives out a lot of homework that's peer reviewed. The class requires a lot of effort between the homework and numerous presentations. He also gave a final exam and a final research paper. Although it's a lot of work for a FYS course it does help you improve your skills; however, the workload can be excessive.

Nice man, but definitely gives work. A lot of homework assignments that are time consuming and tedious. He's a tough grader when it comes to tests, and really makes you work for you grades. I did learn a lot in his class and he's definitely passionate about the class, making me enthused to learn! As long as you're interested he's willing to help!

Dr.Gaugler is the best professor at Marist. This class was absolutely amazing! We did a lot of cool projects with technology and even if you don't know a lot about tech, he is really good at explaining things. Do not graduate from Marist without having taken a class with him! He loves spanish and tech, is enthusiastic and makes class fun.

Civ of Spain was a great class. If you come to class and do the reading then the tests are NOT hard!! He is very passionate about Spanish which makes the class fun. He tries to make the class interactive and is always willing to help students.

Comment:

He is such a sweet guy, very easy to understand when he speaks spanish (has a very american accent). His tests are EXTREMELY HARD!!! I took notes, went to every class, studied, etc. but managed to get 70s and 80s on tests. They were extremely hard and complex tests. No homework, you don't really have to read. Not a bad class, he's a great guy.
