Reviews of professor Octavio Borges-Delgado

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Octavio is nice but not a good teacher. He is unorganized and extremely unclear regarding assignments and deadlines. Penalizes students with 0 grades for work submitted when due dates are unclear. Overly strict and hard grading of assignments. No other Professor in the department teaches like this. Unrealistic work load and inflexible. Avoid !!!

The absolute worst class I've taken at Binghamton. The Spanish department is great but I guess theres always an exception...

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Summer online class consisted of discussion board posts and 3 responses to other people's post, 2 group zoom debates, online homework, 2 essays and a final. He is very particular about grammar. He leaves good feedback on assignments. The material itself isn't so difficult but you will have to have time management skills to do really well.

When I signed up for this class I had no idea what I was getting into as I had not spoken Spanish for years. The professor made it so easy to get back into this amazing language and I'm very grateful for the experience. By far, this was my favorite class. I don't believe there was a day that I didn't laugh because the professor made class fun.

Prof. Borges-Delgado is fantastic! If you show up and do the work, you should have no problem doing well in this class. His grading criteria does not vary for each assignment, and gives great feedback. He's very accessible outside of class and very helpful with any questions you have. 10/10 he's a great professor ! :)

Great professor. Caring for his students and talks about important things in class. Engage with him, talk to him. He's very caring of students and actually cares about mental health too. He's a great teacher and understands that speaking spanish isn't easy. He created a very welcoming and comfortable environment for students.

Octavio is super nice, caring and funny. He does give a lot of work so be prepared to read and write. He wants his students to think critically and defend their arguments. As long as you do this and participate in class (!!!), you should do well. Octavio expects a lot from his students. Getting an A isn't impossible, but you have to work for it.
