Dr. Faught is an incredible professor. He is not only there to teach but there to inspire his students to learn. His class is tough, but I would take it again in a heartbeat. He is hands down one of the best professors you will ever have at any college you attend.

Dr. Faught is a great and passionate professor who enjoys what he is teaching. However, if you aren't completely fluent in Spanish, you will have a tough time in this class. The textbook is a hard read and contains a LOT of information. Studying and attendance are a must or you get behind quickly.

Really enjoyed this class. You watch movies from many different cultures you do have to write papers on them but I found them fun. There is a lot of information you have to learn for the exams but if you study hard you will do well. Do your work all of it and on time, study for exams, and be on time to class. Do those things and you will pass.

Dr. Faught is a great professor! He really cares about students and their success. He does however expect you to truly be learning the language, therefore some effort is definitely required. You have to pay attention in class and are often prompted to speak in class in spanish but no pressure, if you don't get it right Faught helps you through it.
