WOW Rock ROCKS!!! (No pun intended). If you are an RM, take SPAN 302 or any other Spanish class from Brother Rock. You will learn so much about the language-sometimes even more than you want to. He makes you evaluate yourself and is not a big fan of giving constant grades. A lot of the class depends on you. Fun guy-you'll enjoy him!!

Awesome. You can acutally learn instead of just regurgitate. A lot of the class relies on you though. So if you're not a sef-motivated person, I'd take someone else.

Brother Rock is probably the funniest teacher I have ever had. He makes you laugh every class period. He makes the class interesting. Your grade is basically left up to you, so you need to take initiative and go in to see him in his office every once in awhile. That's not a problem because he is so likable you can talk to him like a friend.

Very difficult class but you learn a lot. If you're in it for the grade you will hate it because his goal is for you to learn the material rather than just get a grade. Class is all self-motivation so that only those who actually want to learn will do well. He knows his stuff very well and is willing to help, but won't let you cut corners.

Brother Rock is an amazing teacher! I wasn't sure before taking his classes...but I soon came to love it, to look forward to it, and left the class absolutely loving literature like I never did before. What's more, he inspired a passion within me to keep learning it. But students will only learn what they put into it-individual adult responsibility

First time I had him I hated the class, due to the different teaching style. I didn't ever do anything, so no wonder why I hated it. Second time around I had him for advanced lit classes, and I put in the effort and time for myself, and his knowledge was very helpful. If you get to know him you will find he is very brilliant and intellegent.

I would recommend his class to anyone serious about learning spanish. He is hilarious and very knowledgable about Spanish literature and poetry. He will only push you as far as you want to be pushed. Sometimes he is hard to follow, but he does that on purpose to help you think critically. The visits in his office help for specific questions.

The difficult part of this class is pleasing Bro Rock. He is very prideful. And is constantly criticizing, if your cant take criticism this class isn't for you. He does not give you grades during the semester so you can see how you are doing. so it is kind of a guessing game with your grade. But he does teach concepts very well.

He is a good teacher, but his style of teaching is really different. You put forth the effort to learn the subject matter and he is there to help you along the way and guide you. But you have to know hat you want to get out out the class. His work load isn't super huge, but something for everyclass, always reading.

I was worried at first...but what a suprise! I LOVED his classes! I looked forward to them, I enjoyed him as a teacher, and he helped to open my mind to completely new ideas and views. A fantastic professor. Go with an open mind, a positive attitude, and work hard with the intent to LEARN rather than just earn a grade, and you should like it.

Hermano Rock is a great teacher. Very educated and has a great sense of humor. He at times can seem like he's being mean, but that is just his style. He's actually a very caring professor if you take the time to meet with him and get to know him.

His teaching style isn't for every student. You have to have the integrity to do the work on your own, but he keeps the class very interesting and I was surprised about how much time he wants to take to help you personally. I think it's important to have a teacher with his style sometime, but it was definitely a challenge for me.

Bro. Rock is a very intelligent professor with a unique teaching style and sense of humor. He expects a lot and some assignments are hard but not impossible. There are some things in the syllabus that are a little confusing, go talk to him during office hours and he clears everything up. Has a passion for Spanish and expects the same from students.

Brother Rock is very helpful when you go to get help from him in his office. If you want to get an A and work hard you will be able to do so, but it might require some time outside of class talking with Bro. Rock. Brother Rock is very funny and comical once you understand his style. He appears to be serious but he is almost always joking!

I've taken a couple different classes from Rock, and he is one of my favorite teachers ever. Class can be hard if you don't prepare, but he is always willing to help you out outside of class. I think he's hilarious, but his humor isn't for everyone. Very knowledgeable and loves sharing what he knows with you, especially about Catholicism & Span lit

Class discussion is solely based on what students need more clarification on. Bro. Rock feels most of the information required for the core class is in the assessments. If students ask questions that are not with the current curriculum, lectures may start to get off topic. 3/4 exams were administered through I-learn.

Hermano Rock is the man! He is misunderstood by a lot of students due to his dry humor. Students who do not understand his sarcasm often leave class offended because they take his comments serious when he is just messing around and trying to enjoy the banter.

Brother Rock made me cry in class once but I still like him. I personally think he is a genius. Has deep insights and makes me think about certain topics in a new way. He makes our class laugh so hard, but I think many people don't understand his humor. I think he is a good guy and really cares about his students even though it doens't always show

Brother Rock is one of my favorite professors at BYUI he is very misunderstood. My first class with him was very hard and difficult because of his personality but i have had 4 classes with him now and i am really glad i took all of the classes i could with him. His very sarcastic but once you get to know him he is a great teacher and super funny.

Brother Rock is a very intelligent teacher. He will blow your mind with his knowledge. He will humble you down to the core. Beware of asking questions because he has you struggle to answer your own question before he will give you the right one. Show him that you care for his class and he will help you a lot in return.

Brother Rock is tough, but he really does have a big heart. If you work one on one with him, he will bend over backwards to help you. He's very genuine, and really does care a lot about his students, their success, and their learning. Do the readings, do your best, and meet with him in his office, and you'll be fine.

He is a bit misunderstood. Can be very blunt and sarcastic, can often make you feel stupid for asking certain questions. For this reason I didn't comment a lot. He's funny though and loves helping those who want to help themselves. He gets offended by those who only want to know what they need to to pass the exam. wants everyone to love learning.

Hno Rock is a very funny guy that may come off rude to some. He makes learning Spanish more enjoyable. If you think that you are a pro at Spanish because you are a RM, well the class will make you think again. He explained the why of the language. He is passionate for what he teaches. He is great to help outside of class in his office hours.

He's a great teacher and really wants you to succeed. The course (FDWLD 201) is a lot of outside-of-class work, but that isn't his fault. He makes you laugh a lot. However, there is a quiz at the beginning of every class period, even though attendance isn't mandatory. He drops low grades at the end of the semester.

I love having Brother Rock. If you are easily offended you probably won't like him. He tells it how it is. He is probably the most intelligent professor I've had. He dedicates the entire class in 339 to reviewing homework and helping us think outside the box. He can seem intimidating but he really isn't. Be ready for dry humor and bluntness!

HW: do the readings & the study guide as prep for the daily quizzes & will give the answers. Tests: all take home & you have 2-3 days to do them, except the final. Usually, they are multiple choice with an essay sect. He's not a fan if you leave in the middle of his lecture, he'll call you out on it. He lets you ask ?'s about the readings.

You have to understand that unless he's teaching content, he's probably joking. Don't get offended. He cares about his students. Work with him outside class and you'll see. He once chewed me out for skipping class but still let me make up the work and then gave me a craft root beer. "As professors, we care and will help, just talk to us." -Dr. Rock

Hermano Rock is amazing. He was a little scary the first 3 weeks of class, but he did an awesome job at setting the class tone and expectations. I really grew to respect him and I worked my butt off to do well in this class. He knows so much and is willing to teach you and help you. Great guy. You will do well if you communicate with him!

I'm now graduated, but I took three classes from Brother RockSPAN339, SPAN441 and SPAN490R. I'll be completely honest: When I took his SPAN339 class, I wasn't his biggest fan. I thought he was Mr. Scrooge. But after taking two more classes, he became my favorite professor. He helped instill in me a love of learning. The best teacher I have met.

Bro. Rock was so funny, he was writing the course as we went but I really liked his teaching. He knew his stuff, there was one group presentation at the end, but it got messed up with all the virus stuff. I would recommend this class, just go into it with a open mind.

Here's the thing with Brother Rock: he is very concerned with what will help you learn the most. There's a lot of reviews that complain about the way he lectures or grades your papers, but he's a big believer in independent learning. Be ready to work and think and receive a lot of criticism for your work. He will work with you if you struggle.

Brother Rock cares about his students & wants to help them succeed. He will make adjustments to the course/assignments if necessary as long as you communicate. Sometimes his sense of humor can be slightly misunderstood by some unfamiliar with his teaching style, but after the first few weeks you can tell most of his comments are just to troll you.

This is a difficult class no matter who teaches, so don't expect it to be easy. Hermano Rock has a unique sense of humor but my whole class loved him. When in doubt, laugh. Participate in class and actually care about the material and you'll be fine. Also make sure to go to the tutors for this course! I wish I went sooner. They're kind and so is he

Has a unique teaching method and is funny. Ask him questions, he will teach what you want to learn rather then what you have to learn. Tests are weighed more then any other teacher I've taken, but the doable if you study and review what he teaches. I recommend him because he is very knowledgable.

I love Hermano Rock. I was initially scared to take his class because of his poor rating but I'm glad I did. He is very knowledgeable about grammar. If you are struggling, see him during his office hours or talk with him after class. He'll see your effort and be more willing to help you out. Ngl, I thought he was hecka funny too. Very out-of-pocket

Brother Rock is so funny. Some people find his humor unhinged or harsh but if you take it with a grain of salt and know he's joking like 90% of the time, you'll be okay. He has a very clear syllabus which is nice, he lays out all of the expectations at the beginning of the semester so don't argue those and follow the rules and you'll love him!

Everyone saying that brother rock is weird or a poor professor is crazy. He is funny, very smart, helpful, and wants to help students succeed. however the people in my class that are immature and childish don't like him.

Hno Rock is an amazing professor. His grammatical knowledge of Spanish is extensive, and he is always willing to answer questions. He truly wants to help you learn. He loves telling stories and using visual aids that help illustrate grammar principles as well as engage students in the class.

You've just got to get used to Hermano Rock. He's a fun guy, and his knowledge of Spanish literature, history, grammar, and vocabulary is very impressive honestly!

I highly recommend taking SPAN490R from him. It is a very interesting class, and it is one of my favorites that I've taken while at BYUI. Definitely worth it!

Hermano Rock is the greatest professor of all time! His knowledge of the Spanish language, culture, and history is very impressive. He truly is a master of his craft. 10/10 would highly recommend.
