Reviews of professor Gustavo Jimenez Vaquero

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Honestly, a bit overrated. Due to the reviews, I went in thinking he was going to be very easy and laidback, but he was pretty strict about class guidelines (no going to the bathroom, participation is an absolute must). Lots of homework and tests are pretty difficult. Not the worst teacher to take but definitely not a first option.

Gus is an extremely funny and caring person! Sometimes his teaching style is tough, and he makes all students participate. However, he creates a comfortable learning environment and does not care if you make mistakes, as long as you try. He never grades homework, and was a fair grader on exams and projects. Participate and you will do well!

Great guy and professor. The first time I felt comfortable trying to speak Spanish in a class (from every school I've been to). Super friendly and funny. Excellent at explaining and super flexible. Willing to answer any question and rework the syllabus if the class wants to focus on something more. I 100% recommend.

He grades very harshly. He is really funny tho and sarcastic.

He is a great spanish professor and would recommend all students to take him. He urges students to participate in class and is not discriminatory to spanish/non-spanish speakers. You won't be afraid to have a bad accent when you speak in class. He is tough on attendance but for good reason as it is a participation-heavy course. Would take again.
