Reviews of professor Santiago Quintero

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class might not have been easy however this professor was so amazing. He would make learning fun, and help you really learn the language. It was required to speak in spanish, with no english and as hard as it was, it was so beneficial to actually learning the language. If you want to learn spanish, definitely take him.

Very hard grader. Only speaks in Spanish and penalizes if you speak in English. Nice guy though.

Absolute worst professor I have ever had. Unbelievably hard grader. Treated this course as if it was an advanced level Spanish class. If grades matter to you, strongly recommend not taking.

Profe Quintero is such a nice and amazing guy. I would call his teaching style a little more disorganized than some others, but I liked it. He bounces off of his students and expects them to talk in class. He clearly cares about his students and wants them to do well. Although, I know other people with less Spanish experience struggled more than I.

He was great! I enjoyed this class a lot. Make sure to participate in class and do your homework! If you don't understand something, study hard. Otherwise you will do fine with minimal Spanish background!

Although this class was far from easy, this professor was so helpful. He encouraged his students nonstop and makes you work hard to learn the language and succeed. He has a passion for teaching and helping his students. Can be a bit disorganized however since he is such a great professor, students did not mind as much. Would totally recommend him.

He is a great guy but a terrible teacher! You will be left teaching yourself. The course is incredibly fast-paced and hard to keep up with. There is so much homework and he expects to high level of comprehension from a Spanish 115 class. The tests and quizzes are all written, with no multiple-choice, matching or fill-in-the-blank EVER.

Dr. Quintero was a great professor for the time that I had him. He is extremely passionate about what he does, and always wants people to do their best. He sees the potential in all of his students, and makes it clear. A lot of his class is conversation-based, but it is really beneficial. He always gives thoughtful feedback on assignments.

He expects you to be fluent in Spanish. Truly, that is how he grades. The smallest mistakes he will take off a significant amount of points. Language is supposed to be a learning process ALSO... you are graded on the accuracy in participation. Don't speak up unless you know you are correct. You must answer it correctly. Your grade will sink if not.
