Great professor.He is very helpful and he the make the class fun.This is my favorite professor.
I belive the teacher of Foreing Language must be a facilitator, bridge and guiding light.His o her job is to help illuminate the path for students as they master the challenges of a new language.

Professor Rodriguez is very helpful and I really enjoy the way that he instructs the spn 1120 class. I look forward to him being my professor for the spn 1121 course. I have learned alot in this class and I understand and speak spanish much better than before.
He's a really nice prof. He makes the class fun, talks about interesting topics, and is an easy A. He let us work together when it came to quizzes and exams, but he cares that you learn at the same time. I highly recommend him :)

I took him for SPN 1120 and 1121, got A's in both of the classes. Just read the chapter, and your good. The tests aren't hard. He's laid back, doesn't freak out if you missed a class, or if you have to leave early. Great teacher.
Very good professor, cares about his students, take him.
I highly recommend that if anyone wants to learn spanish take this class with this professor. Study and you will do Well in the class
Just finished 1120. Taking again in the Fall for 1121. One of the best professors MDC has. He wants all of his students to succeed. He is laid back and understands other commitments. Always available to discuss progress. Gives preview for tests. Read chapters in book and no reason why you can't get an A. Take Him and you won't regret it. A+++
Wow! A+++++++! Even if you don't speak Spanish, take Mr. Rodriguez. He makes the class fun! Come with a professional attitude! He cares about his student's and understands we all have responsibilities out side of school. I took him for 1 and 2 and will be forever grateful! I am now recommending my friends to take him. Take him, You won't be sorry.
Wonderful teacher, nice people, easy going. Amazing !!! Best professor in the world! sends reviews and helps so much!!! The best!!!!!
Great class and great professor! This is a blended class so you must be on top of your work, lab hours are not required since half the class is already online, you just need to make sure to keep up with weekly quizes and homework. He is a great professor, and open to help at anytime! She makes the class as simple as possible. I highly recommend.

Best Professor ever!!!If you pay attention to his review you'll be fine. Take Him you won't regret. Highly recommended
Best professor ever. If you pay attention to his review, you'll be fine. Highly recommended
Great professor. The class is made easy to understand, with a couple test and 2 oral exams. The book is basically extra help. His accent maybe a little thick maybe a little thick but after a while it clears up.
He's a real cool teacher. The book is not mandatory. Has a few written test and oral test as well. Pretty easy class. Definetly a gpa booster. Just participate and show effort and you'll pass. :)
Great class and great professor! The book is not mandatory......!!!!!!Wow is the Best professor.
Professor Rodriguez, cares about his students. If you don't understand something he does his best to explain it. He is very fair with his grading, study, study, study and put your best foot forward. Do everything that you can on your end and it will definitely pay off. The textbook is necessary only for your success.
Run do not believe what the comments above say I think this Professor rates his own self . This guy has no patience he except everyone to already know Spanish.
He is So adorable!!!!!, Very understanding & very nice. Overall A+ on personality. His class is easy, u need to study. I was born & raised in a hispanic community (im hispanic but dont speak it) so it came easy, but I still had to study some. u can buy the book or just use the ebook that comes with access code in MySpanishLab.
Awesome and Wow! An amazing teacher. My final was A+! Defiently take him. He was one of my favorite teachers. It was a pleasure coming to class. He is a caring, kind, educated, funny, and much more stuff. He pays attention and knows exactly what he is talking about in class. If I was you...I would absolutely take his class!!!!! :)
Number one in MDC!!!!.He's the best professor ever! He's extremely nice and helpful. He tries his best to make you understand the material because he knows that some students are not familiar with the language. The class is easy, and yea, you do need the text book !!!!. Easy A! I got an A in SPN 1 and 2. I highly recommend him, he's the best!!!
HE IS THE BEST SPANISH TEAHCER EVER. HE'S REALLY NICE AND HE CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS PROGRESS. THE TESTS ARE VERY EASY ALL YOU JUST HAVE TO DO IS STUDY AND YOU'LL PASS. I TOOK HIM FOR SPANISH 1 AND 2 AND I EARNED AN A. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.
Mr Rodriguez is a great professor ! very funny guy he interacts well with his students. The class is easy but you need to study. You won't regret taking his class. He's GREAT !!!
I would not recommend this guy. I think he rates his self. He is very rude and doesn't know how to teach his native language. He gives grades based on how he feels about you. Just study do all of your online assignments no matter what he says. Don't laugh at him or with him he is very sensitive (low self-esteem).
Run!!!!! He doesn't care about the students at all. He says it him self. He is too busy getting his PhD he doesn't care if the students come or not. Does not teach you everything.
Wonderful teacher! Highly reccomended. Great professor! He is very helpful and really wants to help her students excell. Great Professor. Very patient and sweet. He gives reviews before the exams. Everything mentioned is on the test. Easy, easy A.
Very nice & caring professor. Would take again, he appreciates participation in class and attendance. Book is not mandatory to pass. No midterm, only final. If you have any problems, he is always happy to help. Wants everyone to succeed and tries his best for that to happen. Mucho Gusto, Profesor Rodriguez!!
In the beginning I was skeptical about taking this professor for SPN 1121. No regrets at the end. Great professor. Gives reviews. Just put forth the effort and study and you'll do good.
Very nice & caring professor. Would take again, he appreciates participation in class and attendance. Book is not mandatory to pass. The best,
Professor Rodriguez was amazing and inspirational, attendance isn't mandatory but you sure will be lost because one class is like 3 classes but in one. He's funny with the lectures, and makes history seem cool! What an amazing teacher he is, he wants all his students to pass. Sure is easy you just have to study for the exams! BUT A MUST TAKE!
Number one in MDC!!!!.He's the best professor ever! He's extremely nice and helpful. He tries his best to make you understand the material because he knows that some students are not familiar with the language
HE IS THE BEST SPANISH TEACHER EVER. HE'S REALLY NICE AND HE CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS PROGRESS. THE TESTS ARE VERY EASY ALL YOU JUST HAVE TO DO IS STUDY AND YOU'LL PASS.
He is a caring, funny professor. If you wanna pass Spanish 2 I strongly suggest you to take him hands down. I would take him again.
He is a kind, caring, and helpful professor. If I could retake Spanish 1121 again with Professor Rodriguez I would hands down take him again. He likes to joke around from time to time.
College is what you make it. What you put in is what you get out. That being said, Professor E is a great Professor. He truly cares about his student and will go the extra mile to ensure that you understand the material before moving to the next subject. Do the lab assigments and you will get an A for sure. Tell him Cliff sent ya!
Great professor, took him for spn1120 and 1121, highly recommended. Keep in mind you will have to do your part to but overall he is a great professor
Funny outspoken teacher. Helps you to understand work.
Respected prof. Rodriguez is one of the best, excellent and highly respected professor at MDC. Do yourself a favor take her you guys will not regret. I recommend this professor 100 percent. Prof Rodriguez you are the best. Is the number one in all MDC.
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR, THE CLASS WAS EASY AND IS YOU NEED HELP ASK HIM AND HE WILL DEFINITELY HELP YOU. YOU MUST TAK HIM!!!!!!
This professor is amazing! He is hilarious and always very attentive that his students are learning. Go to his class and do the homework and you will pass with an A for sure.
Number one in the MDC !!!! I recommend Mr. Rodriguez in online classes at the time of the COVD-19, very good person and answers all emails quickly, help the students, for me it is the best option, I took this class with other teachers and I had to leave it .
This was an online class due to COVD-19, a very good person, answers all emails quickly, help students. This was a 6-week class we had a quiz every week, just get in groups and you'll be fine. Don't stress yourself you don't know me but trust me Take this class if you want a good Grade! We had to get (Pearson Lab) taking now again for SPN-1121!!!
This is by far the best professor I had at MDC. He makes sure you understand the material. Get ready to do the work. it is not difficult. This class consists of, 4 Tests, Homework for a week, and PowerPoint presentations. He makes the class fun. make sure you participate and attend class. Number one in the MDC.
I took him virtually for 6 weeks. It was hell. Don't take him for a mini-term. There's A L O T of assignments to get done. Around 250-300 myspanishlab assignments PLUS 4-6 worksheets that are sometimes complicated to understand. He also has an aggressive personality through email. Beware what you say. Class is easy, yes, but TOO MUCH work.
Where do I even begin?! This man is so awfully unorganized its embarrassing. For a basic elementary Spanish class, this class will consume your entire semester from the ridiculous work load he assigns. There are no lectures and he will not help you. If you do need help he just yells at you. I dont understand these other positive reviews.
Worst Professor ever. Please dont take him. There is so much work for no reason. He makes you do worksheets every week to not even be graded. Hes super disrespectful and gets mad when anyone asks him a question. Isnt he suppose to help his students? No instead he gets mad and yells. I dont recommend this Professor at all.
He doesn't teach the class, you meet him once and that's it. If you have questions, good luck because he will get upset and yell at you. Tons and tons of work, syllabus isn't clear, gives work he won't even grade. Save yourself the stress and take someone else. The work isn't hard, but the amount of work he gives is insane. Don't take him.
Honesty his only issue is communication. Easy class. He has trouble communicating in online environment and has trouble understanding what students are asking him. He is not tech savy and you will encounter problems with the word documents that he sends weekly. Btw, his online class was completely asynchronous, so be aware of that.
He is very nice and he really wants you to not only pass the class but also learn and understand Spanish. Respond to emails almost instantly, no matter how late you send them. The only problem with Mr. Rodriguez is that he does not tolerate silly questions, nor silly students, he says that MDC is a university, not an elementary school.
I took the SPN 1120 class in fall 2021, for he has been one of the best teachers I have ever had, in fact, I am taking the SPN 1121 course in the fall with him as well; The previous comments correspond to two students who never cared about the class or attending it because they sent us emails daily and answered them at the moment.
I took both classes in the summer, for me he is the best teacher at the MDC; use My Spanish Lab, where you don't have to spend two hours in front of a computer looking at what a teacher says, this is more practical and the students learn more, the previous comments are from stupid students who got a bad grade.
I will start by saying if you want to take this class with up to 2 more classes; you will fail! you will be on your heels all through the semester, 320 home-works... ahhh, I took him with 2 other science classes and I spent about 50% of my time on his home-works alone, weekly papers, yes; you will get emails and you shall figure the rest out.
This is by far the best professor I had at MDC. He makes sure you understand the material. Get ready to do the work. it is not difficult. This class consists of, 4 Tests, Homework for a week. He makes the class fun. make sure you participate and attend class. Number 1 in the MDC.
If you really want to learn Spanish, this professor's class is the best place to start. Incredible Professor, my favorite teacher so far. He will provide opportunities to learn vocab, contribute, and speak Spanish with a Native speaker. Holds students accountable. He is kind, thoughtful, and treats you like an adult. Professional & knowledgeable
Great class if you really just need the credit. He only actually meets with you one time on the first day to explain that the class is just completing assignments on Pearson which you do have to buy the access code for. Lots of assignments but very easy if you speak Spanish. Would not suggest if you aren't a Spanish speaker. Easy A
He is one of the best professors I ever had. He teaches with passion and all his tests are from the book very easy A
This class is quite easy especially with this prof. No proctored exams, no online voice chats, no zooms, no attendance, homework is done through Pearson its simple but expect a heavy load of assignments but easy to do. Take this class non Spanish speaker or Spanish speaker the rest of the prof's at MDC are brutal with exams and voice chats.
Mr.Rodriguez is the best Spanish teacher, at the MDC, I took a face-to-face class with him, and now I took an online class, and he is still the best, a very good person, a very good professional, and always willing to help students.
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR, THE CLASS WAS EASY, AND IF YOU NEED HELP ASK HIM AND HE WILL DEFINITELY HELP YOU. YOU MUST TAKE HIM!!!!!
Professor Mr. Rodriguez is an outstanding instructor. He is very kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. He explains things in a way that will help his students understand his lectures. He hands out reviews that are identical to the exams. He also gives out worksheets for people to practice their Spanish. Also, myspanishlab is required. The Best !!!!

Great professor, I took him for SPN 1120 and 1121, highly recommended. Keep in mind you will have to do your part too, but overall he is a great professor. I prefer his classes in person, he always helps the students.
I took Professor Rodriguez for both Spanish 1 and 2 during Fall 2023 semester in person. While attendance isn't mandatory it definitely helps to be in class cause he'll teach you what you need to know to pass. If you want a professor that is understanding and willing to work with you, he's the one. I'd definitely take his class again.
Took him in person, it was a bit difficult, but overall I passed. I told him in class what he can do better, he got offended, and got defensive! You can learn, we had to do group sessions outside of class to learn better!
Took Spanish 1 with him and class was 15 minutes or less, and only 20-40 assignments per month. Spanish 2 had over 200 assignments scheduled for one month. Had to turn in some late and it really hurt my grade. He is super caring and he gave everyone an A despite missing/late assignments. Easy class, but you learn on your own.

In my opinion, he is the best Spanish teacher at MDC, I recommend him.Summer 2024
Mr. Rodriguez is an amazing professor with amazing grading criteria. He is very put together and respected by faculty and students. He explains everything perfectly, almost instantly responds to any inquiries via email, and gives great feedback/help with any assignment. Everything is online (except oral exams) and the class is very easy to pass.
Definitely!! Mr. Rodriguez is the best teacher at MDC, everything is easy with him, both the live classes and the in-person classes, there are four chapters and the tests are online, he helps the students a lot and is a very prepared teacher, I recommend him 100%, any problem a student has, they talk to him and he understands and helps you.

While attendance isn't mandatory it helps to be in class cause he'll teach you what you need to know to pass. If you want a professor who is understanding and willing to work with you, he's the one. I'd retake his class. The tests are online and very easy.
This professor made spanish easy to understand, any questions he'll answer them to clear up any misunderstandings. There was no mandatory homework, but you did have to pay attention in class to do the tests. The final is an oral exam. Overall this class was easy and stress free!!
I wholeheartedly recommend him; in my opinion, he is the best professor at MDC. He possesses a broad and refined cultural background, and his expertise spans subjects such as politics, economics, and religion. His course is particularly well-suited for beginners, as the material is presented in a clear and accessible manner.
Prof. Rodriguez is very very very sweet. He's knowledgable. He's easy to talk to. He works with his students as long as you work with him. TRY! He notices effort even if you are having issue with pronunciations. He wants you to pass!
Professor Rodriguez is quite the character; he's funny and very laid-back. As long as you show up, participate, and put in the effort, it is very hard to fail his class. He is very approachable and willing to meet students halfway, which makes the course manageable. I would recommend him to anyone who values a supportive classroom environment.
