Reviews of professor Ariel Tumbaga

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
If the government threatened to make me retake this class if I didn't fess up to what they wanted, I would tell them everything I know. I spent day and night working like a dog for this class and the grading was always so wack. More than half of the assignments you complete are worth less than 5% of your grade which is DIABOLICAL! Don't take him!!!

The professor doesn't give clear instructions on the work assignments that he has posted. the professor doesn't give feedback on assignments that are graded. The Professor is very tough when it comes to grading assignments and discussions.

Took his class, and I had an okay time. He was weird about his grading, so just get ready to adapt.

DONT TAKE HIS CLASS. The WORST experience of my life. Made learning Spanish NOT fun. Wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, don't be fooled by the good reviews they are praying on your downfall. So much unnecessary homework, that don't count for anything. His grading makes no sense, his class was designed for failure.

Ive taken Dr. Tumbaga for 3 classes. It's a language, of course there's tons of work. Don't expect an easy A, it's a college class not high school. He knows a lot about literature and Latinamerican culture. Allows make up work & extra credit if you COMMUNICATE with him. He's a very kind person and VERY educated. Take the time to know him trust me.

Dr. Tumbaga is one of those professors that makes me wonder exactly what AVC does to retain an Ivy League level of talent. He's brilliant, published, every inch a dancing star à la Nietzsche. More importantly however, he effectively teaches a flawless Spanish that allows 'Hispanics' to avoid cultural shame and 'Americans' earn praise.

At first I was so excited about taking this class and was ready to improve in the Spanish I already knew. But after the first few weeks, I experienced repetitive and excessive HW which took about 2 hours to complete 2 days a week. Also the Canvas was organized with modules however more crucial assignments weren't added which confused me.
