Reviews of professor Javier Sampedro

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Sampedro really made this class fun and more enjoyable. There are a lot of assignments but as long as you stay on top of all of the work you'll be fine.

Attendance is "mandatory" but you can miss a few and it's no big deal. He is my favorite Spanish professor I've had throughout my minor, and as long as you put the effort in to the few assignments, you'll do fine. He is funny, and makes class enjoyable. Prof. Sampedro also teaches some Spanish lit classes. I'll truly miss having him.

He was very kind and caring, the attendance policy was pretty loose but because participation is part of your grade you will want to attend. VERY reading intensive but generally simple.

I am not sure if SPN1130 will be available online in the future or if Professor Sampedro will be teaching it. However, if you get the chance to take one of his classes... TAKE IT! He is funny and laid back. SPN 1130 was my first Spanish class I have ever taken, so I made plenty of mistakes. Prof. Sampedro made mistakes funny, not embarrassing.

This guy is awesome. He's super funny and makes class enjoyable. He also graded relatively easy on the exams. There is lots of homework in this course, but you will learn a lot of useful vocab and verb conjugations.

Dr. Sampedro is wonderful. Participation is really important in class, but if you try your best it really isn't that difficult to get an A. I did put in a good amount of effort, and I ended up with a 99 in the class. It's not necessarily an easy A, but with some effort it really is a great class and it improved my Spanish significantly.

Professor Sampedroa Is THE GOAT. I usually suck at spanish and hate spanish class, but when I took his class I didn't do bad, I actually learned spanish, and he is just the GOAT. Super chill and funny professor!

Doesn't communicate well, never answered my emails. He rarely showed up for class and gave no heads-up on if he would be there or not. Would be easier to take it as an online class because that's what it was half the time/show up +20 minutes late. Only uses McGraw Hill/Connect to do ALL homework and tests. DOESN"T GRADE TILL LAST MINUTE.

Only uses McGraw Hill/Connect to do ALL homework and tests. Lectures in class are boring and is not necessary to attend. He is not very accessible outside of class. So, make sure to ask questions if you do decide to come to class. Not my favorite professor I have had at Santa Fe, but it is an easy A.
