Reviews of professor Patricio Kobek

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Patricio is incredibly accomodating! He deals with small classes and therefore can afford to give some grace when it comes to things like handing papers in slightly late or things that have a good reason. He encouraged me to meet with him outside of classes to prepare for tests and really took his time with me.

Professor Patricio was very kind, his lectures were always interesting and would engage the students. Lectures and powerpoints for lectures were always clear and related, and the professor was always giving great lectures that were easy to listen to. I would highly recommend!

This was a really good class! Loads of homework but they were short and quick assignments. I like that the prof doesn't only speak in Spanish and kind of breaks into English at times. That way you don't feel lost all the time. The content was organized really well and it was a really fun class overall!

I actually took him for HISP 225. He is definitely passionate and cares deeply for his students. My one qualm with the course is that it is an astronomical amount of content that is super boring. I thought I was a history buff before, this course taught me otherwise. Make sure you do every reading. It is crucial for the midterms and final.

Prof. Kobek was great! He's super approachable, and his expectations in terms of grading criteria are very clear. If you do the readings, study the PowerPoints, and complete the discussion posts, you will be rewarded. The course was really interesting; I'm surprised it doesn't count as a complementary history course, though.
