Reviews of professor Manuel Sanchez-Cabrera

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Manuel is a great choice for Spanish 203. He is a native speak and talks fast, bust just ask him to slow down if he does. He cares about your success and makes lecture fun through interaction, participation, and Kahoots! Come to class, do the homework, and know that he want you to succeed. Dont be afraid to go to his office hrs for help!

I love Manuel, and I think he's one of the sweetest professors ever. However, on many assignments, it seems like he just gave you a random grade as there was never any feedback. Other than this though, his class wasn't too bad. The exams are department made exams and I think he prepared students fairly well for them. He's a great option for 203!

Prof. Cabrera was genuinely one of the most difficult instructors I've had in the spanish department. its clear he's a caring person but he's very hard to reach outside of class and grades super harshly given the fact that all he does is read off of the lecture slides in class. I would avoid if u can.

He does not follow the syllabus in regards to homework assignments and is very unorganized. he only does textbook activities in class and the tests are much harder and very difficult and he is not lenient in grading

I really liked Manuel as a person! He definitely cares about students as people and tries to make class fun. However, he was a pretty harsh grader for papers, and the quizzes, though online, were really difficult. I'd say if you're taking 261, he's definitely one of the better options.

This was my favorite class. I loved my professor because he was so kind and made sure we all understood. He gave very good feedback!

Professor Sánchez is great. Not a lot of work outside of class, and expectations are clearly laid out. He is a bit of a slow grader, but that's not a huge issue. You have two midterms and a final, two papers, and a project and some homework assignments. That honestly sounds like more than it actually was - it was very spread out and manageable.
