Not a particularly good teacher, if you don't have a background in spanish already you will have to do a lot of teaching to yourself. Very dry and sometimes preachy. Ten points extra credit on the tests. Tons and tons of homework, some written, some online, some online and then printed out.
Great teacher! He sometimes gets off topic telling personal stories, but that keeps things interesting. You can tell that he's passionate about the language and culture. He's very clear and helpful if you need it. There is a lot of work involved, but what do you expect when trying to learn another language! I definitely recommend this professor. :)
This teacher may be hard, but he will prepare you for the real world of speaking, writing, and understanding the spanish language, determining ethical decisions, and relating to religious people. He is a genius in his areas of teaching intro. to religious studies, ethics, and spanish. He should be respected and treated professionally.
For Professor Warda, he is a very helpful instructor and he clearly knows his stuff. Make sure to show up to class and prepare to study for the midterm and final. After taking one of his classes you will definitely know much about Spanish. Do not be disrespectful in his class, meaning turn off your phones and use appropriate language. Real teacher
Professor Warda is a huge help when taking a Spanish Class. He will be very clear in his lectures, assignments, and tests. Note taking is a major factor when studying for exams. Participation and motivation is key for succeeding in his classes. Spanish 101 with Prof. Warda is a great option when in need of elective a general education credits.
Professor Warda is an amazing teacher! please take him. If you know spanish this class would be a piece of cake for you ( Native speakers please respect him and follow his instructions). If you have trouble with Spanish or just starting to learn it, you'll catch on. He tells amazing stories of his past experiences. great teacher , you'll love him!
Mr. Warda is the best professor I have had. He is a serious but gracious genius. This is not an easy course. You are learning a foreign language. The Pearson lab is a major part of succeeding. Thankfully, he responses immediately to any workable issues. The real-life illustrations he uses are fantastic. You have to put effort into the class.
This is the best professor at Antelope Valley College! I learned so much from his Spanish courses. Taking 101 and 102 with him was a blessing. He goes out of his way to help the students in his class. The only students that could possibly complain about his teaching method are those who have no desire to learn. Simply do not feel afraid to ask Qs.
After learning a great deal from Professor Warda, I can honestly say that I appreciate this learning technic. For a junior college, his college load is sensible when planning to transfer to UC. If you plan for success and knowledge, then take Warda as you Spanish instructor. Greatly recommended instructor. He answers relevent questions.
In my opinion, this is a very good professor. If you are willing to put your time and effort, you will receive what you worked for. I may have already been a Spanish speaker, but I didn't know how to write that well and this class really helped me out. My friends didn't know Spanish a lot, but this class taught them a lot!They worked hard to learn.
I took Mr. Warda for a winter intercession and he was amazing. You have to participate a lot in class and don't be afraid to ask for help! He offers extra credit and makes sure you understand the material. You have to study if you're not a native speaker and A LOT but he makes it fun and easy.
Had Professor Warda for Intersession, he does a great job teaching Spanish. The class is undeniably fun and engaging. I know so much more Spanish now, and I believe that I will remember the fundamentals parts of class. He was kind enough to buy the whole class PIZZA and refreshments. We obviously worked hard for it, but still. BEST INSTRUCTOR EVER.
Professor Warda is brilliant. I earned my A. However, some students at the junior college are total academic zeros. The tests are typical for a college spanish class. It all study for the exams. No papers. Participation matters. It was a lot of fun too. I got to meet some cool people in a group study time.
This professor is the way to go if you want to become fluent in Spanish. If you have no knowledge of Spanish going in, it will be ruff for ya! missing class not studying or do the homework and you will get an F in his class, I know of students that failed his class.
Enjoyed this class so much. He is straightforward when it comes to hw and grades. Offers extra credit on the 3 tests. Always reviews the test with the class. Final is pretty easy because he gives us a study guide. Learned so much from him, take him if you want to pass.
hes a good professor but if your struggling he doesn't help you until you understand. I told him i was having trouble with a part of the work and all he said was pay attention when i go over the answers, which doesn't help me when he just says the right answer with no clarification. if you miss 2 days your dropped. Has good stories though
If you want to FLUENTLY learn Spanish & understand it w/ a clear break down, he is your best choice. Homework assigned at the end of each class. Full credited given for hw as long as you do it, errors don't matter. Test easy, just study. flash cards on vocab and grammar for Extra credit on tests given.
Professor Warda is very kind and tries his best to teach you. It is on you however to go home and study to really understand. I am not new to Spanish so the class was easy for native Spanish speakers but if you are not one then the class will be a real challenge.
Professor Warda does care about his students. He does ensure that he does his best in order to make the class as easy and clear as it can be. I would definietly recommend.
I've learned so much from him. He is funny, passionate, and knowledgeable. I love Spanish now and I always will. Thank you, Professor Warda, for making this semester amazing! Happy birthday we love you! Best wishes, Your students
Very great professor. Does everything to help his students, shows videos to the class if a concept is hard to grasp. Tells stories about his life and starts a lot of discussions. Overall he is great and the students are his priority. Do the homework, and take 3 tests and you'll have no problem passing.
Took him during intersession and he really cared for us all. He is really passionate about his work and really wants you to learn and understand. He is very fair and all the while understanding. Loved his stories and personality.
If you dont have a background in Spanish prior to taking this class, youll struggle 3x as hard as the average student. Hes a good guy, but I feel he doesnt understand not all students come from Spanish speaking homes. I was lost the majority of his lectures, and I always paid attention. Cool stories though.
In all a really great professor!
I love his class!! Very engaging and I got to meet a lot of other students and make friends too! I feel way more empowered and confident to learn spanish with Mr. Warda. Lots of fun and cool stories!! Take his class! I recommend him.
I love his class. I am learning so much Spanish as well as about Hispanic culture. I would highly recommend him to other students. He uses online exercises, textbook exercises and there is a lot of interaction.
This instructor really cares about the students. He tells stories about hispanic culture that people can relate to. He gives extra credit to students for doing notecards. The instructor strives for student success and responds right away to emails. The instructor effectively teaches the value of knowing the Spanish language.
Mr. Warda is very friendly and loves to talk about his family. He really is a nice guy with good attentions. He is strict on homework and other assignments but understandably! Do your work and you will be fine. Interacting will help you learn the language and he appreciates it. Cannot stress how nice he is!
As long as you participate, it will be extremely easy to get on his good side. He is very fair, and showed that he cared for all his students. He was kind enough to regularly bring treats in for the class and tried to get to know all his students. You definitely need a textbook, and if you are not already familiar with Spanish, make sure to study.
Professor Warda is an excellent teacher if you actually want to learn Spanish. He assigns homework but it helps to retain the material. He explains things very well and makes sure everyone understands before moving on. Class switched to online because of quarentine, but I still learn just as much as we did in person. He is very kind and respectable
I took Profesor warda 2 semesters for Spanish 101 and Spanish 102 I highly recommend him, attendance matters, participation matter but if you ask him for help he is willing to help you understand his lectures. he is a kind profesor that wants his students to pass his class and not put you in the spot.
He is a nice teacher and helpful in class but if you do not know spanish even a little this would be hard youtube will be your best friend. Homework was not hard just a lot and test were not too hard for non spanish speakers but easy if you speak or understand spanish.
Tests every 2-3 weeks, Everything was basically fill in the blanks so I felt like I didn't learn anything new, there's an interview at the end and if you did high school Spanish 1 and did good and remember some, that interview will be a breeze, don't stress too much about it Like I did.
I loved Professor Warda's Spanish class it was a great intro to Spanish and I felt prepared going into Spanish 102. This was the most enjoyable course I had all semester and I would definitely recommend it to other college students. The class is worth it and I feel like I know so much more Spanish now. Lively and enthusiastic environment to learn
Professor Warda is an amazing teacher with good feedback, dedicated, and inspirational. You won't regret taking his class! I admire this man and was inspired by his work ethics. I really recommend to take his class and ask questions. He is invested in your learning and ability to understand the material. He is by far the best professor @ AVC
He's a fantastic professor, in my opinion. Furthermore, he has made it simple for students to understand the lessons in class. and he always made sure we were doing things correctly, and if we had any questions, he was always happy to answer them and break down the parts that we didn't understand.
If you are interested in learning Spanish, Mr. Warda is the best professor to take to learn Spanish. I have had some experience with Spanish in High School but in Mr Warda's class, I remembered a few things and understood it better compared to High School. He tells funny stories and there is a moral to those stories. I recommend taking him.
Listens to his students, genuinely wants all his students to pass. Do all the practice work (even what was not assigned )and you will definitely pass. no extra credit is needed, more than enough time is given to turn in the homework. Great professor!
Professor Warda is a professor that you WANT to take. Hes super nice and his lectures are very clear. Do all the homework, ask questions, participate in class and you will most definitely pass. He gets straight into what were going to learn. Everything he teaches is in the homework and the exams. They all relate to each other. Amazing professor.
Great professor! He answers any questions you might have and really teaches Spanish whether you are a beginner or experienced Spanish speaker. I would highly recommend.
Very well respected instructor by students. Always very prepared with relevant culture stories and clear grammar presentations. Professor is very experienced and would readily take again. Highly recommended!
Wonderful teacher, and very clear in his lectures. Very experienced and liked by students. I highly recommend him and would take him again for another class. He really cares about student learning. He is very patient with non native Spanish speakers.
Most helpful prof ever, clear instruction and all questions answered, would take again if I could, my favorite college classes this semester, love it, take him
Very good teacher! Absolutely love his class and is a very kind, helpful, and respectful teacher. His class was one of my favorites and I would definitely consider taking his class again!
His class is pretty easy also long as you do your work and turn it in on time. He teaches this subject well and he knows what hes teaching.
Very Good Teacher!! Definitely recommend for people to take him. Very willing to help out students that ask, very respectful, and postive vibes! The class environment is great and I learned so much more from him.
Professor Warda is a great teacher with a positive attitude. I learned a lot while Ive taken his class, much more than any other previous Spanish classes Ive taken.
Professor Warda is an extraordinary teacher. His lecture are very informative and makes the lessons more interesting. He takes his time to make sure each individual student has a great enough understanding of the work. I would 100% take his class again.
Mr. Warda is such an amazing teacher and very kind may God bless him. 100% would take his class again for sure.
Professor Warda is amazing and has a positive attitude when teaching. He knows what he's doing and takes the time to make sure each individual student understands the material and will talk to students and work with them. I 100% recommend taking his classes.
A great teacher!
I am a Soar student andI took his class for both Spanish 101 an 102.I would recommend him to any soar student or non soar student. He responded to emails almost immediately and was very understanding when problems occurred.The end of my Spanish 101 class during interviews he surprised us with pizza!Great teacher who I would definitely take again :)
Profesor warda is a pretty great Spanish teacher. He takes his time going through the course making sure everyone understands and offers office time if extra help is needed. He give good honest feedback when correcting how you pronounce things. He also shows good demonstrations in class to help further understand a lesson.
I respect this professor very much. He has a clear grading criteria. He is good with lectures and if you have questions he will answer them. Appreciate how nice he is. If you do the work you should have the time to pass. Professor Warda is respectful, nice, caring and will help you succeed if you put in the time. Overall one of the best professors.
Profesor Warda is a great teacher. He gives concise clear explaination and provides support to students that require extra help. He has even provided some outside sources to get more practice at home for those that require it. Even though I had a background in Spanish from home, Prof. Warda was able to show me a lot and was an excellent teacher.
He is one of the best teachers you can have in college. I like how he explains the classes, supports you in whatever you need, and listens to you. He has a lot of experience teaching Spanish and if you have to choose a Spanish class where you feel comfortable this is the ideal class. La mejor Claseeeeeee.
Professor Warda is an amiable Individual! I took his class over the summer and it has been amazing. His grading criteria is clear and he is extremely knowledgeable in the subject. Attendance is vital in this course and if you take care of your learning, your grade will take care of itself.
The best spanish teacher I could ask for!! Professor Warda is super kind and helpful. He makes sure you understand the content. Mr. Warda makes the class fun with activities and games. Definitely makes sure everyone is involved and understands. He truly cares about his students and hopes to see them succeed. I'd totally take this class again.
Professor Warda is an excellent teacher. Very clear and easy to understand
Took Mr. Warda back in Spring 2022. Not a fan of his lecture style. Ended up having to teach myself Spanish through YouTube videos instead. Would not recommend him for non native speakers. Would highly recommend another instructor if you actually want to learn Spanish in class instead of teaching yourself through YouTube.
My professor is very good at his job, and I respect what he does even if his class gets hard at times. He's a very caring person. All I want to say is if you ever get him, you are very lucky. He never does things to try and hurt people. I've learned a lot in his class, and i thank him
This professor doesn't have on-line class. I took face to face class. I had a very good experience with him. I highly recommend Mr. Warda as Spanish teacher.
I really like professor Warda's teaching style. He is organized and very helpful. He loves when the students ask questions and really is desirous for his students to be successful. I enjoy his class.
Honestly he is a great professor. You need to study like any other class. He has given us anecdotes, that are helpful. He is very patient and does care about teaching. I would take him again if I can. Overall he is a lovely professor, be wary of some of the negative comments. To pass the class you need to study and practice.
Very Fair teacher, Does not expect you to be an Spanish expert, and is very forgiving. Would recommend to anyone who has to take a foreign language class for their school program.
Professor Warda was the best. His homework assignments were pretty easy. The lectures were never boring. You learn words you've never heard before. I recommend to take him!
Professor Warda is one of the few professors who actually care about the well being of his students. He is very understanding you just need to communicate with him. Overall genuine professor and loves what he does. Was very easy to get a hold of if you had questions after hours of class Would recommend highly to other students!!
Professor Warda was a great professor. He is caring of his students he is understanding just make sure you communicate with him, his way of teaching is great, and he loves what he teaches. If I could take him again I would. Make sure you study and if you don't understand something ask questions. You will not regret taking his class!
Super understanding, and kind enough to give his students rewards from time to time. Always enthusiastic about any questions or concerns on a topic or assignment. His syllabus addresses everything necessary and the class flows on it. Be prepared by doing most of the work before class and try your best to study then you'll do fine.
Proffessor Warda is a great teacher! He teaches you everything you need to know and always knows how to prepare us before test/ quizzes. He also makes learning pretty fun and interesting.
A wonderful professor. I learned a lot to not be a native speaker.
Mr. Warda is an amazing teacher, very dedicated to his students. His commitment to student success is obvious. He is always interacting with you and making sure you understand the material. Attendance and participation is a must. I took his online zoom class. Thank you Professor for a great semester, I really enjoyed your class.
Professor Warda, is an amazing and awesome professor. Very caring, patient, and understanding. Very willing to help his students and want you to do well in his class. I enjoyed being in his class this semester.
Professor Warda is the most patient, caring and understanding teacher anyone could ask for! Just make sure to stay on top of your discussions and VHL assignments. I also recommend that as soon as you get access to the class to make sure that you have no technical issues accessing VHL. Overall, I really enjoyed and learned a lot in his class!
This class was very difficult and required a lot of outside work because he does not lecture very well and goes on rants about things that are not related to the class. He often will take up about 30 minutes of class talking about personal stories and preaching.
Professor Warda is an understanding and patient professor. He gives out a good amount of homework but not so much that it becomes overwhelming. He will try to help you succeed as much as he can.
Overall Mr. Warda is a very caring teacher who cares about his students success, and reassures greatly and gives opportunities to make up for the grade you think you deserved. He is very understanding and teaches well, he does talk about stories but they are for good cause because not only does he care about students success but for their safety.
I took Mr. Warda for Spanish 2, the best Spanish teacher I've ever had. he is a very kind and good professor. not only does he teach Spanish but he teaches a lot about life and really helps you become a better person through his lectures and the way he likes to teach. He is incredibly patient and understanding with his students in every way.
He uses the online textbook and that is where your assignments will be too. Is respectful as long as it goes both ways and does not like when you use your phone during lectures wants you to pay attention and pass. Overall very good and clear during class and very helpful.
Prof Warda is an absolute gem of a professor at AVC. He is very helpful, communicative, and patient with his students. He does his best every class to ensure students have learned what they need and gives many opportunities to practice among peers. Keep up with your homework, study, and speak up in class and it you will set yourself up for success!
Amazing teacher! Barely gives any homework and the tests and quizzes are really easy. Would recommend joining the class SPAN 101
This professor is very kind and understanding. Would definitely recommend this professor to anyone looking to take SPAN102.
Professor warda is a good teacher care about his students passing his grades.. as long as u do all the assignments you will be fine.. I would take him again
The professor is fantastic! He's very kind and understanding, and his explanations are clear and concise. I would recommend him for Spanish 101!!
Professor Warda is an excellent teacher. He cares about his students and gives clear feedback. He provides days for students to receive extra help before class. Participation and completing all assignments are important.
Great teacher
Professor Warda has been an excellent teacher for me. When there are things I don't understand he helps me out. I have learned a lot in his class, my spanish has improved a lot. This class has not been difficult and we don't have many tests or quizzes
Mr . Warda is a great teacher with great topics to learn about he teaches well , but make sure to show up to class because it can affect your grades or being dropped etc.
He is always available to students. Spanish programs are filled with vocabulary BUT, if you don't know HOW to use that vocabulary it becomes useless. He emphasizes grammar a lot, because it teaches you how to utilize things that you might learn on your own. He has taught me the fundamentals that I will use for a lifetime. He is helpful and fair.
Professor Warda is a tremendous Spanish professor. His Spanish 101 class is a piece of cake. If there's anybody out there that wants learn Spanish, then I would recommend taking his class for SPAN 101. His lectures are very helpful, and you don't even need a textbook for his class. They're all on VHL Central, including HW. Easy class, easy pass.
Horrible professor for an easy class. Changed the required book 5 times, all over $100 and non-refundable. Canvas is a mess quizzes need a password which posted months before class even started?!? It's an online class no presence needed yet mandatory Zoom counts for 5% of your grade, & requires paper assignments makes no sense for a virtual course.
Professor Warda is THE BEST Spanish teacher! He made everything clear on canvas, he always answers my questions in a short time. I took his online class, it was really helpful! I even recommended my mom to take his class and she did. Just read announcements he posted and do your homework before it's due, you're all good. Highly recommended!! BEST!!
Prof Warda is an excellent teacher! He responded emails even I sent to him at 2:00am!He made things clearly on canvas.For people said he changed textbook many times that is not true, he kept saying don't order the 6th edition that's wrong one. Why it's a problem he posted info ahead of time to let you prepare better? Please be fair to Prof Warda!
His class is very easy, you do need to purchase the book and the assignments are not hard at all I would recommend this teacher to anyone who wants to take spanish 101
Professor Warda is an awesome teacher. He gives clear instructions, is super helpful, and always available if you need anything. The class is straightforward, just show up, do your work, and you'll do great. Easy A if you put in the effort. Highly recommend!
Learning Spanish isn't easy, but Warda gives you a safe space to do it. His grading is more than clear, its fair, and he gives you more than enough time to do the homework, culture project, and interview guide. He is as generous as he is passionate with this language, you'll see. It's a pity you can only take him up until Spanish 102. Buen suerte!
I am taking Professor Warda for a Summer in person class and he's a great professor. He's really encouraging and very understanding if you have any questions or difficulties learning the material. VHL access is a must have and stay on top of your work and you're fine. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, after all you're here to learn!
Mr. Warda is a very understanding professor for Spanish 101, as he didn't grow up with the language. If you are learning it with very little knowledge coming in, he takes the time to help with pronunciation and correct errors respectfully. You're given plenty of time for assignments and tests. Subjects are covered by plenty of practices.
Mr. Warda knows Spanish and you can tell he has been teaching this course for a long time. The class is difficult—which is to be expected as most of us are learning this as a second language. Mr. Warda will help and answer questions if you ask them, and is readily available through email; which he answers promptly.
Mr. Warda is an excellent Spanish teacher. I am taking his online class, and he always responds to emails on time and makes sure you learn. Just read the announcements and submit the assignments on time. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to take SPAN101.
Professor Warda is a great Spanish teacher! He is very understanding and truly cares about his students. All you have to do is stay on top of your VHL assignments, do the discussions, and do the two interviews with him on Zoom. If you're worried about that, he will tell you what he will ask you, so you are prepared. He also answers emails quickly.
He helped me a lot. I'm a student who asks for a lot of help, and he always answered my emails. I took the class entirely online, but whenever I had questions, I could contact the teacher, and he would respond with clear instructions.
