Reviews of professor Gregory Newall

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Class was very boring; all we did was go over the grammar concepts we already learned for homework the night before. Everything I learned was from reading the textbook. Lots of homework but it helps your grade. It was his first year here I'm sure he will get better! He is very clear about what to expect for the tests and the class is pretty easy.

Professor Newall is one of the best professor I have had so far. The tests and quizzes are exactly like the study guides and I found them really easy. I would definitely recommend taking him again because I truly believe he cares for his students.

I think the curriculum for SPAN302 is poorly designed, with too much busywork, both in class and for homework, and not nearly enough opportunities to have conversations and actually learn Spanish. With that said, Professor Newall did his best to work with it, and he is a very caring professor, so I'm sure he will improve, as this was his first year

Took SPAN122 in a 6-week course. HW due 4x a week!! He does not really have much control over that, but be aware it is a lot of work. Homework did not take too long to complete but it was a lot each week. Expect exam or quiz weekly. He goes through the units too fast. I personally will never take spanish again - in person.

I would 100% recommend him. Homework three times a week that is a big part of your grade, three exams, and a couple other grades. Most of class is spent with him teaching and then you practicing. You will have to get comfortable speaking Spanish in class, but he makes the environment very comfortable. I can't say enough good things about him.

Professor Newall was awesome. He has a great sense of humor and goes out of his way to make sure his students are prepared for exams/quizzes. If you put in the work, you will get an A. Highly recommend!!

He was a great teacher and had a good sense of humor! He did a lot of interactive work which helped for exams and quizzes.

Class is lecture-heavy and honestly kinda boring. All he did was go over grammar. Overall easy grader on oral presentations. Tests are online. You have homework every day before class but it is online so it is not that bad. Decent teacher

If you're in 122 as your last Spanish class, then he's probably fine. Doesn't actually require you to speak spanish so long as you can memorize basic grammar concepts. If you're considering taking a higher spanish class, I would look for another professor who uses more of the language in class. Way too much homework for how easy the course is.
