start out every class by listening to spanish music, you do not need your books but you will get over 60 handouts that you need to keep refering back to; big paper waster! If you are bad at spanish do not take this professor!

He knows lots of languages and speaks all of them very well. Always a major plus. My only gripe? He gave me a B even though my average was 88.5. The GPA's important ya know!

DON'T BUY THE BOOK,you don't need it, he teaches his way his stye, and it's better tah wahtever the book has to offer, cuz he teaches things you have to know to get by in a conversation, he'll bring in music everyday to introduce the class, but it's ok

he is the best. i never pay attention in his class but still get an A+++++. i never done anything in his class i just go to class for fun and have fun with my friends.

Very sweet and understanding. Willing to work with you.

he is fine teacher. very very very helpful. a very decent man WHO GIVES RESPECTS TO EVERYONE. he make staff very easy. his tests are little bit complicated. but if u study u get good grades in his class. i took him for spanish 1 and 2. in both classes i got A.

He doesn't know how to use a computer and he never uses lab, movies or different materials. He is a old school teacher. If you want to learn Sapnish don't take this class because you never practice and learn nothing. Everythin is translations-for that you can use a dictionary or a computer.

If you actually want to learn spanish, do not take Prof. Ramer. All you get is about 200 hand outs and you just use the hand outs for take-home exams. I would have liked to have actually learned more spanish in the class and was definitely disappointed by his lack of creativity in his teaching style

very nice professor. he is very understandable. i loved his class. he is very funny and if you pay attention in his class u can get A very easily. he give all take home tests. i got A in his both clss.

excellent grader, fun teacher, you will listen a lot to spanish music, take home exams. easy class, but you will learn a lot!

great guy he know people hate spanish and deals with it ocordinly. make you listen everyday to spanish music it was pretty cool great professor

the nicest man you will ever meet. Take home tests are easy

This guy is a great teacher and teaches spanish very well. I had his wife for ed. psychology and she was just as easy. In his spanish class he should have more spanish being spoken in the class.

Guy is soooo nice. Come on people! I have no idea about spanish at all, SPA 122 i am taking now, from SPA 121 i got A, on every test i got about 97 or so. I didnt do anything myself, my spanish friend was doing everything, and who cares he noticed that? I got a good grade, that was a purpose of taking that class, to improve my GPA :)

His class is real easy...though is class is sometimes boring. It is very hard to fail his class.

AWESOME TEACHER!!! Always willing to help and make you understand. IT was one of the EASIEST CLASSES EVER. He's an awesome teacher. I would love to have more classes with that kind of teacher!!

I don't know other people are saying but he is very nice.. ya little hard in his exams but he always gives you another chance. If you go talk to him and see him once in while and he knows ur trying even if fail his exams he'll give you a B... I tell everbody to take him... Take Home Exams

Starts every class with a song...Will be your best friend if you want him to...Class is boring as hell...Never lets out early...Easy A...all take home tests and quizes

take home tests and quizes. if you pay attention to his boring class, you'll do very well.

its easy, but YOU DONT LEARN SPANISH. i fell asleep in class every time.. it was painful to sit though. i had a spanish kid do the take home test.. got a B. i miss my old professor though, even though he was more work.. this guy was ABBURIDO! (boring)

He is a great guy, he wants you to learn Spanish, and provides cultural music to give you that feel. The stories were awesome. A MUST!!, Will give you an "A" no doubt about it...

Take him, he is so easy and his class is very interesting. His style of teaching helps you learn spanish better. Very nice professor

Nice, funny guy. No homework, doesn't care about attendance, and you don't need the text book. Tests are take home. 90 and up is an A. I had another prof for SPA 121 and Mr. Ramer was way better. Laid back class, listened to music everyday.

as said before, prof ramer starts every class with music to "introduce" you to spanish culture. there is no textbook for spa2, just a lot of homemade charts. his tests are take home, but still can screw you up. all around nice guy, but never really gets the class involved. more of a "repeat after me" style. over... and over... and over.

such a nice guy really wants you to understand the language. take home tests and barely any hw. spanish is hard to begin with but he teaches it so well. defintiely recommend him if you fail or do bad completely ur own fault

Very very cool teacher.definitely recommend.very nice guy with the great sense of humour.help u with whatever u need.

Excellent teacher, very fun, very helpful. With his handouts it's very easy to learn and understand Spanish. I'm looking forward to taking him for 122 & 221.

I had him for both spanish 121 and 122. Great guy, kind and helpful. Homework is easy and he doesn't push you much. If you are here to learn the language, you'll have to study his notes. If you want the easy grade, just show up every now and then and get notes from him. But don't take advantage of him, he might change...

He barely teaches us ANY spanish but he is a very nice & funny guy. All he does is play music for us, talk about the history of Spain, and then toward the middle/end of class he has us repeat a couple of sentences after him. Cake. Just learn how to keep yourself awake if you don't like history. He definitely should have been a history teacher.

Professor Ramer is great for the study of human language. Very nice man and very cool guy. Class can be boring sometimes but he finds ways to make the subject interesting. Sometimes we spend the whole class reading a chapter silently but its worth it when doing his assisments. Easy A if you hand them in on time and attend class regulary.

very boring class. learned ABSOLUTELY nothing. we never spoke spanish even once. all he says is "you may think the guy walking on the streets in new brunswick doesnt know proper spanish but class he does".. or "a teacher cant teach you that" . very easy class.listened to spanish music everyday hes a nice guy but needs to find a better way to teach

his class is easy, only if you put in the time to do the work, but then again, isnt school about learning? and not how hard you can make it for the students? in his classs we're able to learn without stressing a whole lot. i got an A but only because i had perfect attendance and handed everything in on time and wrote a good final essay.

Excellent teacher. I definitely recomend this class and teacher to everyone who is interested in learning the Spanish language

i took spanish 101 and 102 with ramer. he is so easy. attendance isn't mandatory. we never ever used the book. all the tests are take home. he doesn't know you can go online and use a translator. lol. very nice guy. so understanding and believes his students to the fullest. fair grader. downside is his lectures can be lengthy and boring.

had him for spanish 101 and 2. he is SO easy. so nice. so understanding. attendance wasn't mandatory. fair grader. ALL tests are take home. hardly had hw. has no idea that there are online translators. AWESOME guy. lectures can be lengthy and boring so try taking him twice a week for an hour and a half instead of once a week for 3 hours straight.

he is too good. gives take home exams and no homework...no textbook

What can be said about this professor. Loves to teach and helps his students to whatever end necessary. He is one of the few professors I've had that spoke English in such a manner that it was mesmorizing. Though I dont particularly care for Spanish, I learned oh so much about the different cultures in the spanish-speaking world. Excellent prof

This teacher is awesome.. such an easy class and guarenteed a grade better than C.. Might not learn that much unless you study the notes but youll be happy taking this class.. Very cool dude.. I say go for it...

Mr. Ramer was a wonderful teacher. I really enjoyed his class.. he made the study of all languages interesting and fun!!! Very little work, no exams or quizzes. Class disscussion and everything is open ended and in your own opinion. You'd have to try to fail! Definitely take LNC123, I also signed up for his Spanish class.

Great teacher! clearly loves teaching...take LNC 123, the questions might be confusing but he tells you you don't even have to get the right answer just state your opinion. there is no midterm or final and that classes may be boring however its an easy A and long as you hand in the essays (they are usually only two paragraphs!) :)

The class is BORING!!!Infact it was the most boring class i've been so far. But the guy is chill he gives take home tests but grades them harshly. I agree with many here the class was boring enough that i stared at the clock whole time. But he's very friendly though!!

Excellent professor! He's extremely nice, educated, and very open minded. I would definately recommend him to anyone!

Really nice guy. Very friendly, enjoys open discussion. Attend class, do the assignments and you will pass the class with an A!

Real nice professor. Very understanding of people's busy lives with work, etc. If you attend class you will do well. Take home exams a plus!! Great professor. Will advise all friends to take him.

Very Interesting topics and useful information. I would have never written this much spanish if it wasn't for him.

I was greatly surprised at how much I enjoyed this class, as long as you do the work and join in the discussion, you will do well.

Great teacher, you learn a lot in his class through the music he plays in the beginning and through his homework assignments. Just do what you can and participate often. I recommend him for anyone wanting to learn spanish in a different way. There is no book or test in 221

I have never taken such an easy class...its so easy its HARD.. sitting in class for two hours while Mr. Ramer rambles on and on should be considered cruel and unusual punishment. Its just SO BORING.....i cant deal with it i literally had to talk myself into attending class every week.. you'll get an A but you may die of boredom in the process.

I took Mr. Ramer again this term for 222. The music and assignment topics are interesting and you get to practice a lot of speaking as well. Take him for both classes.

Fantastico! This Professor gives take home tests, he starts every class with music and then allows questions and answers. He is extremely easy going. No textbook! He writes his own book information that you need. He is a sweet man. Very Polite. Easy A!

What is wrong with you guys? You're going to ruin it for everyone. Professor Ramer is the best! Do you WANT there to be more arrogant and crummy professors that want nothing more than to be egotistical jerks who idolize themselves for their authoritative presence in the classroom? Professor Ramer is the complete opposite of that.

honestly, he is the most boring and annoying man alive. no lie. but his tests are all take home, and he gives you two chances to pass them, he plays music at the beginning of class, i skipped class like every week, he's very nice. i wasn't a spanish major nor did i care to learn and passed his class. exams= translate sentences. that's it.

Interesting lesson in Spanish culture with music for the first 10 minutes of each class. Very boring thereafter, but not unpleasant. Every test is take home and he gives a second test for each unit, with only the best grade counted. Homeworks and practice tests to prepare for tests. Handouts instead of textbook.

Definitely the most boring professor I've ever had. His lectures literally put you to sleep. He is very nice though, and all the tests are take home so it's pretty easy.

He is sooooooo nice and his class is very simple do the assignments and you will get an A. no tests no curve balls, just simple translation assignments. If you need to boost your GPA this is the class!!

He is very nice and understanding. he will talk for the entire class and youll probably fall asleep. but its basic, fast and simple.

This is the easiest class EVER!!!

Easiest class I've ever had, but also the most boring. I had him for a once weekly night class and it was miserable. If you want an easy A, take him... if you want to actually learn Spanish, don't.

If you were an ESL student, must choose him!!!!!!! Because his class is for those people who never heard about the Spanish. If people give him bad grade, I think because they learned a lot already or they do not like to attend the class.

He is a really good prof an easy a as long as you put in the work. Just don't buy the book because he doesn't use it

If you are trying to get you're GPA up this is the class for you! It is so easy ! take home exams! He is such a great person! he wants students to learn ! EASy A. He is BORING! I did most of my other class homework and papers in his class.

Not too many tests. Easy class if you follow his material. Don't buy book for his class. He uses his own notes. Open book tests. Just attend class and follow directions, get an A.

I didn't think he was boring at all, it's obvious he's passionate about teaching Spanish and about the culture as well. We listened to music in his class and he even gave us a little history. Like aforementioned, easy A, take home tests, in our summer course he gave us a second chance on exams. Awesome.

That is the best class

I was absent quite alot but I must tell you prof. Ramer is the kindest and most understanding teacher. Although his lectures maybe long, they are actually eye opening if u listen well. Show up to class, participate in the discussions and hand in ur homework on time as those are the major things he will grade u on.

this class was so easy if need A for your GPA take this class

I took the study of human language with Professor Ramer. It was an easy A. He's very understanding and compassionate. He gives a lot of assignments but don't fret. They are easy questions about the assigned readings and it doesn't matter if you're right or wrong. He just wants you to think. No tests and no papers.

His class was super easy, he gave a lot of assignments but they were all opinion based and as long as you just handed something in you would get full credit for it. Very caring teacher and is understanding if you have any problems during the semester. Respects everyones opinion and the class is an open discussion so he expects participation. Easy A

Great professor.

If you want to actually learn the language I suggest picking a different person because his class is mostly on the history of Spain and musical melodies rather than learning the language. Although some students find his class boring I like it compared to other classes im taking. He's a very chill professor and wants all his students his pass.

Good teacher

good professor

Interesting class, unlike any other I have taken. Easy homework and everything is opinion based so there is no "wrong answer". This class is designed to make you think about things you normally wouldn't but apparently participation matters a bit more than it was made out to be. Recommend for sure if you need the class, but definetly participate!

Prof. Ramer was the nicest prof I ever had. We literally had to read a chapter and answer a question given to us and talk about it. That was basically the class. I had so much fun and got a B even though I was shy and didn't talk much. Easiest class, best professor, greatest memories! Thank you Prof Ramer!!!

He is truly a great gem. I never really liked taking a World Language, but he made it seem so simple. He wants to see you succeed. Despite a lot of homework, he explains it thoroughlyy the next day you meet up for class.

Professor Ramer is one of the most kind and empathetic professors I have ever met. I say he is lecture heavy only because he reads off of the notes and handouts and explains and breaks down everything! He is awesome and I definetely reccomend taking him!

i took this proffesor for spanish 1 and 2. lecture heavy, attendance does not matter. he grades the hw very hard. he cares alot about his students and will work with them if needed. if i had to take this class again i would.

Very nice teacher, helped when I was behind and accepted two month late work. While his class seems a little boring, it was simple and attendance was not mandatory. I will say is he doesn't respond to emails and doesn't use canvas so it can be difficult to communicate, you also will not know your grades until the end of the semester. + minimal work

Yes his class is difficult however, he will fail NO ONE. You would have to never be there or hand nothing in, in order to fail. His lectures are pretty slow and may be boring, but he is the sweetest man I've ever met. I purposely took him for both Spanish 1 and 2 because I liked him so much. Very witty guy and a sweetheart. Id take him again.

he's reallyy sweet and kind which made the class super easy. he makes sure that no one fails too. you're only graded on 7 tests but he gives basically a non-graded practice one before to help. class is a bit boring with the lectures but it's an easy pass! he made spanish very easy for me.

Professor Ramer is a caring instructor who ensures no one fails. While lectures can be heavy, he breaks down concepts well. unstuck study was super helpful for prep, alongside the textbook. Overall, a good experience if you stay engaged.

Enjoyable Class! Professor Ramer is certainly old school, the lecture is essentially him just speaking of a paper, and he doesn't give any class work. All of his tests including the final are take-home tests. He doesn't use email, but is very lenient with missing classes. Great guy with a good sense of humor, would take it again.

He is very kind + I speak spanish myself and others besides myself were able to pass this class easily. His lectures sometimes end early, but include a lot of handouts and reading. Everything is properly explained and he is more than happy to help if you simply ASK. I recommend his class, takehome quiz + final that will only count if it HELPS you!

He is a very thoughtful professor. Explained the language in a way none of my previous teachers have. Goes in depth with his explanations and is understandable. Class is lecture heavy, but none of it is unnecessary. Take home practicals and quizzes for each unit that are the same questions for both. It's self explanatory and overall easy to pass.
