Saul Sosnowski SPAN363 Expecting a C Anonymous 12/05/2023	Ok, as much as he's humorous and easy-going, he needs to be using canvas. I get that he's old school and just lectures without slides, but it's just a lot of information, and if you miss something he said, good luck on your exams lol. There's a presentation, a midterm, a paper, and the final exam. Those are the only grades. I'm probably not gonna get a good grade for this class but it's whatever.
Ryan Long SPAN363 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/18/2022	Long is so caring, knowledgeable, and lenient with grading. All the good qualities make him one of the best professors in the Spanish department.
Juan Carlos Quintero-Herencia SPAN363 Expecting a P Anonymous 06/26/2021	Prof. Quintero-Herencia is incredibly enthusiastic about the content of this course, and makes some pretty profound connections to very broad themes. Unfortunately this will often lead to him going off on huge tangents that can seem rather irrelevant to the course content. He is indeed a very lenient grader, and I definitely got a much higher grade in the class than what I deserved for the work that I put in. The class is not organized all too well, however. It takes him a long time to get grades up on ELMS, and a whole 50% of the final course grade comes from assignments that you turn in after the last day of class, leading to a lot of uncertainty in your grade until it's all said and done.
Saul Sosnowski SPAN363 Anonymous 12/01/2019	I love this class (I don't even really like Spanish lit, but Saul makes it so tolerable). Saul is a wonderful and engaging lecturer who adds a lot more context to the readings. He's very intelligent and knows everything there is to know about every story we read and all the historical context behind it. He interacts really well with students, making the class fun. I wish grades were uploaded to the grade book - while I think I'll do well in the class, I would like to have a little more certainty. A paper rubric for the final paper and the group project would be appreciated, despite the clarity of instructions during class. There are 4 grades, I think? 1 midterm, 1 final, 1 final paper (5-10 pages), and 1 group project.

Ana Rodriguez SPAN363 Anonymous 12/10/2008	She's a very nice person and really passionate about her research areas, but totally out of touch with reality. The amount of work she expects for a 300-level class is absolutely ridiculous. She rarely gives back grades, and when she does it's 2 months after you've turned in the paper. (Literally.) There's a reason all the other 400-level classes for next semester are full or nearly full and hers is half-empty.
