Reviews of professor Joseph Patteson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Hes a very sweet guy but his teaching style doesnt work for me. The homework doesnt help with whats on the test. He grades the tests hard! One little mistake minus 1 point. Your grade depends on how you test. He also calls on people randomly in class so be ready to speak. There is a Spanish oral presentation at the end, 7-8 minutes of speaking.

Dr. Patteson is the most considerate professors I have ever had. He is caring and willing to help his students whenever they need guidance. He knows how much work to give his students because of other classes, but still has high expectations for us. This class had a lot of reading, but I enjoyed every minute of my time in his class. TAKE THE CLASS

Such a zen dude. While I prefer the teaching methods of other Spanish professors, Patteson cares about his students and runs his class very well. There were several days where I used the first few minutes of class to finish the past night's homework (whoops!) , he knew I cared about the class and was very understanding of my situation.

Best prof in Spanish department. He's slightly weird which makes him funny. His classes are long but a lot of it is basically just him babbling. Less class participation than other courses, he'll only call on people if no one volunteers and he's very gentle about it. If you don't want to talk, he won't mind. No tests and papers are graded easy.
