As everyone has said, he's very enthusiastic, but I believe his teaching style needs to improve so that his students can get the most out of the class. Essays and attendance dictate your grade in the course, but there are barely any discussions. It was pretty much just lectures on at times random Latin American content in which he would try to force his students to say sexual or outlandish things. Don't even get me started (sigh). While he is certainly very informed and willing to help if needed, he comes off as someone who is eccentric to the extent that he is annoying. I wish he would think a bit more about how his students feel in his class and not just rant or lecture the whole time. I am here to learn Spanish and discuss interesting cultural content, not hear your voice and your thoughts twice a week. There are essentially no discussions in his class so it is hard to get to know anyone or to get as much as you can out of the content. Regardless, I did learn a lot about different types of literature, but the organization and structure could've been so much better. |

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. |

JCQH is an easy grader, but he doesn't go far in depth enough into materials nor did he really 'push' any of his students. |

Prof. Quintero's one of the most engaging professors I've ever had. He is (or at least seems) really enthusiastic about the "themes" that underlie the class, and creates an excellent narrative to unite them. He's really intense, and may seem a bit intimidating at first, but he really just wants to make sure you get something out of the class. He truly cares about his students' progress, and will go out of his way to give you feedback. |
