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.

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.

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.
