Reviews of professor Jose Gomez-Becerra

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
When learning a language, it is imperative that you learn to speak. Prof. Gomez-Becerra knows it can be intimidating and awkward for us when speaking, but expects us to cooperate and when we do, it makes class easy. He took a little while to show us a funny side of him, but when we all got confortable with each other, class was fun.

Professor Gomez is an awesome teacher. I had him for Hispanic Culture and Civilization which I took as an elective. I would 100% recommend him for anyone looking for an easy A and interesting class. Its lecture heavy with class discussions, but show up and put in your best effort and you should be fine.

Laid back but does not teach. Expects you to learn everything yourself. Homework does not relate to what is going on in class. Homework is online so there is 0 feedback and hard to get help with. Very frustrating for people who have little to no Spanish experience.

Dr. Becerra is an amazing professor, I'm not sure why all of his reviews are so negative. Honestly the best teacher I've had in college and he cares a lot about his students. All you have to do is try in his class and you will pass. If you need help, he is there to help, you just have to put in the effort to ask for his help and try in his class.

His homework consists of 200 questions and when you answered the questions correctly you would be told the answers were not correct. Not a lot of guidance in what he expects from the class. Very difficult class!

Hes a cool guy, but I never understand anything that comes out of his mouth. I probably wouldnt be passing this class if it wasnt for my friend from Argentina helping me.

Awfully demanding class for a 3 credit hour course. You do 60-90 pages of Connect homework a week. He expects A LOT out of his students and expects you to meet with a tutor 1x a week to speak Spanish for 10-15 mins. Ridiculous class. I would rather pass a kidney stone the size of a tennis ball.

Very patient with beginners and good at explaining Spanish concepts. It can be difficult to get a hold of him outside of usual class hours for whatever it may be. A very nice person and can get a good laugh out of the class every once in a while.
