Reviews of professor Victor Valdivia Ruiz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
One of the best in the Spanish department. He does his best with the textbook and assignments to create dialogue in class. Attendance is not mandatory but is essential for your learning of the language. To be successful you need to rely on what you already know, but he breaks down new grammar concepts extremely well.

Great professor! This class was not a lot of work compared to other Span classes that I've taken at GW. Victor is such a nice man and really wants his students to succeed.

What an amazing professor! I remember being scared for my first ever Spanish college course, but prof Valdivia made it worth it. As a native speaker who struggles with grammar, prof Valdivia did a great job teaching and making sure we understood it.
Be prepared to read and have homework almost every night! However, it was nothing too challenging!

One of the better Spanish profs and really caring! He was always willing to pause any lesson and go over grammar slower to make sure we understood it and was very understanding with the move to online classes. He expects a lot of participation and encourages students but attendance isn't mandatory. Overall really nice but still requires effort

This is the best spanish teacher I have ever had at GWU. He really cares about his students and wants you to succeed and will help you if you are struggling. He is easier on grading and really helps with relearning grammar. Absolutely take a class with him I wish I could take another with him.

Prof V was fabulous! He is such a nice guy and has a real passion for linguistics. He is funny and kind, not to mention very easy going. You have to do the work, and participation matters, but it is nothing too crazy. My class loved him so much!
