Reviews of professor Javier Krauel

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Javier gives great lectures-he's fully knowledgable and you'll learn a ton. The best spanish classes I've taken at CU have been with him. HOWEVER he's a harsh grader, you never know what to expect. This can hugely impact your final grade. His finals will only negatively impact your grade, unless you get an A+, which is nearly impossible with him.

Javier is caring and engaging, but sometimes he comes off as hard/inflexible. Some of the readings could have been shorter, but most were fine. You can get by without doing them, but why even take this class if you aren't interested in learning? You will rlly enjoy the class if you at least attempt the reading and make an effort to talk 1-2x a day.

Be sure to attend class and do the readings, but if you do that, the quizzes and exams are straight forward. My favorite classes have been with Javier.
