Reviews of professor Aristides Falcon Paradi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's the professor in John Jay, he's really humble and caring. I really learned a lot of Spanish this semester because he explained these confusing grammars with real-life examples, which made it easier to understand.

He was not clear on any of the tests, homework, or quizzes. He does respond to email very fast but he will respond with no answers to your questions. He prefers to talk in person but still gives no clear answers. I would not recommend at all.

Great prof!! Spanish isn't the easiest to learn but he tries to make the lessons easy and fun. We had short hwk assignments every week (write about 3 or 5 sentences depending on the topic) and online hwk on VHL Central (but he only wanted us to complete 15 assignments every week). He gave about 3 quizzes, one midterm and one final! Super easy class

To be very honest if you do not know any level of spanish don't take this class. If you do know some things in spanish then you will be fine. For anyone learning from the start I don't recommended this class at all. He is very sweet though but I believe he forgets that not many people don't know basic spanish. Attendance is very important to him! \

He is probably one of the worst professors I've ever had at John Jay. I can confidently say I did not learn a single thing. He is unorganized, confrontational, and very hard to understand. He will go off on political tangents, there is absolutely no organization with his lectures, and you will learn nothing. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR.

DO NOT TAKE Publicly humiliates students during class Is ALWAYS late Does not follow syllabus Unclear about homework Gets mad if you ask questions, don't understand, or get a question wrong Test directions are in Spanish Refuses to even discuss the possibility of extra credit bc I'm "doing good" I don't have enough characters for how terrible he is
