Reviews of professor Mauricio Garcia-Vargas

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He is funny and energetic in class but the amount of work he gives is insane so if you want to work the full-time job of trying to take this class be my guest. There are so many different sites he makes you do homework on and some you have to pay for he doesn't accept late work and won't help at all with turning something in if you have a problem.

Professor Garcia-Vargas is a fantastic teacher who taught me so much. I did all 3 semesters of Spanish I was required to do with him and it was the best decision I ever made. I did SPA-111, SPA-112, and SPA-211 all with him and it was great. He is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is so funny and overall a great teacher. Take his class!

Professor Garcia-Vargas is a very interactive and fun professor, who makes learning Spanish quite easy if you do the work. Pay attention in class and take a joke, and you will succeed. He is honestly one of the best professors at Durham Tech, and his class is something you will look forward to.

Gives too much work! Doesnt accept late or missed work. Wants us to speak perfect Spanish otherwise you receive a bad grade. By far the worst class Ive taken since Ive been here.

He was a great instructor. I recommend taking his courses if you are interested in taking SPA at university. There is a lot of assignments such as forums, quizzes, and there was 3 short papers to do. But they are helpful for the exams. He does give study guides/ review sheets for the exams. He is very outgoing and easy to communicate w/ via email.

He was the best Spanish teacher I've ever had. I want to be bilingual & he gave me the best feedback for how I could improve. Participation matters but in order to learn Spanish, you have to practice. He has the best attitude for class and you can tell he cares about his students & their learning. He is funny & has high standards for his students.

If you miss an exam for whatever reason, theres no retaking it nor making up for it. Gives a ton of homework due Thursday of every week. He expects for students to sound native and takes off point for not doing so. 10/10 dont recommend.

AMAZING!!! Do not take another professor when it comes to choosing Spanish classes if it's not him. Not boring at all and makes sure you understand the content. Very easy

I had a fantastic class with Professor Vargas! He made the Spanish language come alive, using things like classroom Kahoot competitions, conversation prompts etc. Prepare to speak a lot of Spanish and have lively class discussions! Professor Vargas made us all laugh a lot. His great personality, sense of humor, and love for his job is clear.
