Comment:
Class was built on two 5 page papers, a midterm, a final, participation, and some short reading quizzes. Class is mostly discussion based and he relates books to real world issues. An incredibly kind and caring professor who wants everyone to do well. Definitely a great choice to take for Spanish classes!

He cares so much about his students and how they're doing. Always willing to help and find ways to get people involved. A very relaxed class with a very passionate professor.

Comment:
Dr. Ward was one of my favorite professors this semester but one of my hardest classes. The final is cumulative and theres over 400 vocab words by the end of the semester. Also its A LOT of grammar and if you don't get it you'll struggle so you'll need a tutor. He really does care and theres running inside jokes with a class, he makes it fun.

Dr. Ward is my favorite professor. I have taken him for three levels of Spanish and he is the best. He gives reading assignments, but always explains them well in class so if you pay attention in class you'll do well. He is a super fair grader and is generous with points on tests. Participate! he loves that. Best professor.

expect a pop quiz almost every Friday. also, I had an 83 before getting charged with plagiarism on our 3rd and final composition, which lowered my grade to a 75. but luckily I managed to get a 93 on his easy oral final and an 88 on the easy written final, finishing with an 80. the class is an easy A if you don't get caught cheating like me lol

Such a nice guy and a very enthusiastic professor. Two test, three papers, and a final, but participation is counted. If you show effort and try you'll be set.

Nice man. He really wants you to understand what he's teaching and will take his time on the lesson to make sure you get it. Very easy to meet with and if you look like you're trying then he'll be easier on you when grading.

Comment:
Not recommended for an introductory course. He expects students to read and understand complex Spanish Literature at introductory levels. His sense of humor can either be vulgar and rude or hilarious depending on how its taken. Not particularly approachable or helpful. Take him for his upper level courses in literature, not core level courses.

He is a very funny guy..keeps material intersting. One of the nicest teachers i've seen at loyola. His tests are long but if you know the material they are no problem. The final is cumulative but again if you know the material you are fine. He makes you want to participate in the class. Eager to take him again next semester thats for sure. :)

His humor didn't cover up the fact that he was very unclear in his teaching. His books were hard to follow and you had to use serveral outside sources to understand 1 thing! Horrible horrible and i took him twice. what was i thinking?

By far the most intriguing professor at Loyola. Not only does he know his stuff, but he can relate to young people and class is ALWAYS interesting and hysterical. A sincere man who cares about the subject. Take him more than once.

Best teacher I've had so far, and the most fun class. I did an over ride just to get into his class again. He's so funny, and you can actually talk to him as an equal. Always helpful and very understanding if you're having problems. Definitely recommended
