Reviews of professor Raul Rivera Hernandez

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I have taken him twice now and loved it both times. Yes, there is a lot of reading, but this is college and that should be expected for a liberal arts course. He is passionate about the things he teaches and will help you tons if you seek it. He's courses are political, but thats because they're on political subjects, at least the upper level ones.

He literally made someone cry while giving a presentation. He is harsh and unwilling to give grace to students who are learning another language. Very biased politically. You will probably learn a lot, but you will not feel good about yourself while doing it.

I have really enjoyed this class and I feel that my Spanish has improved dramatically and I have gained a lot of new knowledge about what it going on in Latin American countries. This course felt more like a political science course rather than an actual Spanish class but you can tell he is very passionate about what he is teaching.

challenging!! you will get soso much better at spanish but be prepared to work your butt off. i don't think he gave any higher than a 90 on any papers. like taking an english literature class but in spanish. you really have to do the readings bc participation is the only easy points but he's honestly super nice and your spanish will DEF improve

VERY hard professor. Grades compositions tough and expects participation. Huge paper, presentation (10 minutes in Spanish), and interview for final. Reading for every class that you have to do to be able to participate the way he wants you to. He makes you work hard for your grade and expects a lot. Would NOT take again.
