Profe Boris is such a great professor. He really cares about students learning a new language and therefore requires a decent amount of work. Work is very manageable if you are organized and do not let assignments stack up. Also, be ready to participate in class and do not miss classes because it will affect your grade badly.

As long as you participate and do all your work on time, you will be totally fine (I did not, which is why I got a B+). He encourages coming to office hours and talking in class, and if you do so, there is a high chance that he will be more forgiving with the rest of your grades. Homework can take a while.

Profe Yelin is awesome! He structures the class as mostly group work and discussion- which really forces you to be engaged and learn. He's very accessible outside of class and responds to emails super quick. You just need to come in being ready to put in work. Overall he really cares about his students.

Profe made class fun with his jokes here and there. Learning Portuguese was made simple with all the help we had by working with groups and having a small class size. You will get called on randomly, and make sure you are prepared with homework and the textbook.
