I loved him. He is so funny because he is still working on learning english. but don't worry he explains things pretty clear despite that. he makes sure you are prepared for EVERYTHING, from a small quiz to your final exam. he just really takes care of you and is a great teacher. you should get an A or a B in this class for sure.

He was a great teacher... Like the others said, a little awkward at times because his english isnt great, but he is very very helpful. He does not grade very hard on things like oral exams or in-class essays. I had a better span2001 experience then anyone i knew from other classes.

He was great. He might seem a bit weird sometimes, but he really cares about teaching and will help you with anything. He is funny and really knows how to get things across to you.

Oh my gosh...LOVE HIM! Please take Fuad! I miss that class so very much and I miss him! He is sooo helpful..not always on top of things, but makes sure you are very prepared for every little thing in that class. He is someone you would hope to run into outside of class! He's definitely the best!

had him for 1110 and 2001, and he's the best spanish teacher I've ever had. too bad i didn't have him for 2002. everyone shd definitely take his class cuz he's the absolute best. he cares abt his students and wants them to do well too!!

fuad was excellent, especially for an 8 am class. he really cared about the class, and he tries very hard to make it enjoyable... and he has a MUCH better grasp on english than my 1110 teacher.. take his class!!!

I can't really say if Fuad was a good teacher or not because I already knew everything we learned. The tests were pretty long, though, but I think it is the same test for all classes. Fuad is very funny though, and he is willing to help you if you need it. Attendance is mandatory and you do use the book key for Quia exercises

Fuad was awesome! He really cared about his students and was very understanding, which was invaluable for an 8am MWF class. He enjoys teaching and is always willing to talk outside class. I had a great experience in his class.

Class started out as very studious, drilling, textbook oriented Spanish lessons, but if you can handle the first half, it gets better later with more free flowing discussions and activities like presentations and movies. I actually enjoyed the class, unlike most, but I think it really helped to speak up and answer questions.

I loved Fuad! He was scary at first because he intimidates you into thinking it will be hard, but as long as you do the homework, participate in class and study for each test..you are cool. He had fun class discussions. People thought he was mean sometimes, but i considered him honest and pretty funny. we watched a movie too, loved him!

I am OBSESSED with Fuad. It takes a lot to get an entire class laughing at 8 am, but Fuad made it happen every Tuesday and Thursday this semester. He's so funny and animated. I am going to take as many classes as possible with him. Plus he brought us homemade chocolate mousse a couple weeks ago.

Fuad is one of the best teachers I've ever had. If you participate in class and do your homework, he will basically give you answers on the tests. He likes to interact with everyone, so if you do that you'll see he's hilarious and fun. I'm sure he's a hard 2001/2002 teacher, because all of them are. I would strongly recommend him for 3010.

Fuad replaced the original teacher two weeks into the semester. He is a little difficult to get used to, and tries to seem strict, but if you keep your mind open, he's a very good teacher who knows his material. Do your work, pay attention, DON'T text, and you'll be golden.

Overall he is a great teacher. He is into his material. Committed to our well-being and us having good grades. He cares and has a great sense of humor. You will only fail if you really don't try. The only thing I didn't like is the lengthy online assignments.

He's a really nice guy and always willing to help a student. He's strict about attendance and assigns homework basically every night, but it isn't that hard. He follows the textbook word for word. He really just reads from the textbook/ does all the activities every class. Tests are pretty easy and he drops the lowest test and quiz grades.

Though, this was one of the harder classes i have ever taken, and though we did have a good bit of homework, he was very helpful, and i learned a ton. The homework he assigned definitely helped alot.

Elhage makes the class interesting and creates a positive atmosphere that is fun to work in. He can be a bit unorganized but he is a reasonable grader and is willing to help you if you ask. Definitely would take him again!

Given that it is the accelerated French class, be prepared to study hard and read the material. M. Elhage will come into class speaking only French. Will start off pretty easy if you have prior French knowledge, but will pick up in intensity and there will be more assignments given to you to complete in a short period of time. Very interesting..

Dr. Elhage is a solid teacher overall. He really, really hates electronic devices in class (laptops included) so buy the physical textbook. Once you get past that he's helpful and entertaining in class. He's willing to work with you and clearly wants his students to succeed.

Elhage is a little unorganized, but he makes his expectations for your performance clear. He offers 1-on-1 help and guidance. If you are not improving or making poor marks, it is your fault because Elhage goes out of his way to make himself available to you. Expect him to be easily distracted or push exams back to clarify material.

Dr. Elhage genuinely cares for all students and wants them to do well (and I mean it). He gives small, fun chances for extra credit using kahoot. He is also a dance instructor so we spent the last 10 minutes of a handful of classes learning the basic meringue and tango (very fun). He's a good teacher, but mostly lets online tutorials teach you.

Dr. Elhage is very committed to his students' success. He will sit with you and explain concepts for an hour if needed. His grading emphasizes improvement so you get the grade that reflects your effort. There was a lot of work, but as long as you keep up, you will do well on tests. Tests often have grammar exercises from the book. Great teacher!

Fuad Elhage is probably one of the best Spanish teachers that I have had in my life. He is very lenient with homework on the textbook site (at least he was with my section), and wants you to understand the big picture; he doesn't expect you to memorize small details about grammar. His quizzes are easy once you start to understand the format.

Dr. Elhage is a helpful professor, but the amount of homework and the difficulty of the tests are what make the class kind of a pain. However, he tries his best to add as much current and relevant information to lectures to try an coincide with the chapter, which I'll admit makes it more interesting. Absolutely no cellphones unless its for Kahoot

Dr. Elhage is an excellent professor. He truly cares about his students. He can tell if you are ,making an effort to learn the information and your grade at the end of the class will reflect that. He assigns a lot of connect hw, which is cumbersome but easy. He is also an easy grader on assignments. Take the honors section if you can!

Take a class with Dr. Elhage and I guarantee you'll be looking forward to it every day by the second week. I could never say enough good things about him. Kind man, encouraging mentor, engaging lecturer. Polyglot. I'd studied Spanish for 7 years before this class and didn't expect to get a lot out of itbut I did. Te quiero infinito, Fuad.

Dr. Elhage is incredible!! He was a blast to learn from and I would definitely recommend taking a Spanish class with him. I took Business Spanish in the summer with him during the month of June and it was for sure a lot of work. BUT he makes it so much more interesting than it really was. He was encouraging and truly wanted the best for us.

Fuad is great. I honestly don't understand why he has an average score on here. He is nice and very understandable. He really wants his students to succeed. He is very respectful to students. He gives a lot of work but hardly ever checks it (unless it's online). You should, however, still do the work. It helps a lot with understanding the material.

Dr. Elhage is a really nice guy who cares about your success. He's easy to talk to and very approachable. I was never afraid to ask him a question and he was always willing to help. I would totally take his class again. You have to put in effort to do well and he expects you to work. With a little effort, you'll do well in his class.

Dr. Elhage is amazing! He cares so much and is really dedicated to his students. He is an impassioned teacher and a joy to learn from. Fuad is hilarious and so knowledgeable; plus, he can dance!

Fuad was a great Spanish teacher-one of my favorites! He really cares about his students and makes an effort to see if you understand the material. Class participation is important-be prepared to answer questions voluntarily and involuntarily. However, there is a lot of online hw assignments, but it is manageable.

Elhage is amazing. He's so sweet & funny. 25% of the class is online homework, which is annoying, but typical for a Spanish class. 3 freebie absences, which was nice. By the end of the semester you'll be bored with the lectures, but he tries to incorporate something fun every lesson, even if it's as small as watching a Spanish music video.

Dr. Elhage wants his students to succeed. He encourages students to ask him questions if they do not understand concepts. His notes are organized. Make sure you can answer his questions. Also, he wants us to learn Spanish by making us bring puns and jokes to share with the class. We also watched Spanish videos and read Spanish news articles.

Professor Elhage is such an enthusiastic teacher and really wants you to engage in the language. He gives clear guidelines on what he expects and what you can do to prepare for quizzes and oral exams. Overall, he really gets you to challenge yourself and learn the language. I would love to have him again for the next level.

Dr. Elhage is super energetic and caring. Hes always up beat and excited no matter the time of day. The class is a typical foreign language requirement but he does his best to make it interesting by using different ways to help you learn.

Fuad Elhage is one of the better Spanish teachers I have had at UGA. He expects you to participate a lot and will call you out if he thinks you're not paying attention. He is really engaging and great to meet with if you have issues, BUT his worst qualities as a teacher are that he is unorganized and is not clear about deadlines or instructions.

I had a lot of fun in Dr. Elhages class. Hes very kind and cares about his students, and I felt his grading was very fair.

Fuad is a good professor. He teaches the material well and cares about your learning experience. However, his tests are no joke, but you'll be fine as long as you study. Also, he's a bit... eccentric.

Elhage is great IF you can stay on top of your stuff. Hes super caring & wants you to succeed but he cares A LOT more about you improving as a speaker than your grade in the class. He is kinda unorganized & will assign lots of work with little time to do it &claim you should have read the syllabus but you can make the A if you go & put in effort

A lot of people may say he's hard but I disagree. He is super nice and caring and if you ask for help he will 100% give it. With all Spanish classes there is a lot of small assignments, but all the homework is pretty easy and you can expect to send maximum 30 minutes on it before each class. If you put in just a bit of effort you will get an A.

Hes a good prof if you can keep up. Cares way more about you improving as a speaker than about the grades you make. He can be very detail orientated when it comes to grading, you MUST be able to find deeper meanings behind every ted talk/assignment. His tests were a big step up from span2002, LOTS of analysis and way more work in general.

Dr. Elhage is incredibly engaging and I enjoy going to class. He is a good professor who is willing to answer any questions and wants to help you improve. You have to be willing to study a lot for the exams, but he is very straightforward with what will be on them. I would definitely take his class again!

Fuad is such a gem, one of my favorite professors by far. He genuinely cares about you and wants you to succeed no matter what. He will extend deadlines if you need it and is super understanding. We had a lot of homework but it got easier once you get the hang of it. I would seriously recommend if you want to improve your spanish :)

Very accommodating, very funny teacher. Makes you work hard in class and tests are so hard but worth it if you want to improve spanish.

I loved him. So cute and funny and knowledgeable. First spanish class I took that I genuinely saw improvement in my speaking skills. He is a really caring guy. He has high standards and some people do not love that, but if you put in the effort your grades will reflect it.

This is my second semester taking one of his classes and I am so glad that I did. He is by far my favorite professor I have had as a senior biology major. He is very kind and understanding and offers extensions for assignments if you need it. You had to put in some effort with the homework, but it's always really easy.

People on here are way too dramatic. You won't get an A for showing up. HW is time consuming but easy. He's very clear what to study for on tests. He loves teaching and he cares about his students. Take him if you want to improve your Spanish, avoid if you want an easy A.

Such a fun class. The homework can be overwhelming at first but once you get started it is manageable. Quizlet will be your best friend when learning the vocab but really if you are paying attention in class and interacting you will be fine when it comes to the tests. Also the format is the same for every test. Take this professor!

I really enjoyed his class and his enthusiasm and humor. He gave good lectures and led good discussions between us students. Regular online homework which was a little annoying, but very doable and graded fairly. We had some oral presentations, essays, and exams. I studied for hours the day before each exam and got almost all A's.

Highly recommend taking his class if taking a spanish class at UGA. He makes an effort to get to know all of his students and cares for them. You will have to speak aloud but he provides great constructive criticism and makes it less intimidating.

Idk why people are bitter! Dr. Elhage is such a lovely person and is lenient with extensions, (you get 3 for whole sem). If you come to class, participate and actually try you'll be fine. Hw is a lot, so I would recommend this class if you don't have a lot of other heavy workload classes. He genuinely cares about his students, too but not easy A.

Best Spanish teacher I have ever had! He makes the class extremely engaging and interesting. You know the format of every quiz and he gives you plenty of time to prepare and ask questions. Take him if you can!!!

He comes across as intimidating the first week of class, but he's really so caring towards his students. He gives extensions for homework assignments and tests. Allowed 3 absences. There's a lot of hw, but it's easy to do well on it. Have to study a ton for exams, but he lets you know exactly what to expect. Very interesting class, I recommend!

Best teacher ever! I love him!! Makes me actually like spanish!

I actually took his Spanish 4080 topics course on Latin dance. Compared to his other classes, he was much more chill in this one. However, what he did give us to do was tough and labor intensive. I loved the dancing days on Friday's. He seems very all over the place at times when planning but is an easy grader and quite kind.

Lots of time-consuming assignments and homework on Connect (online textbook) but very easy to complete. Profesor Elhage will engage in cold calling but always guides you to the answer when necessary. Hilarious and one of the least stressful Spanish classes. You will perform well if you have a beginner's background in Spanish. Would recommend him!

Seems mean at first but later on you see that he is a nice guy. He cares for students and will help when you are struggling (in my experience). He is strict about attendance though. In-class participation and keeping up with hw are required, but if you do then you will be fine. Quizzes & exams weren't bad and he prepared us well for them.

Reading his syllabus I was a little worried at first, but the class ended up being fine. The homework was the worst part. Most of the homework requires at least an hour to complete. Quizzes consistently had the same format. If you don't like speaking out loud then I wouldn't recommend, but if you don't care then Fuad is a good option!

Fuad has made it clear that one of the main reasons he enjoys teaching is the interactions among students. In his class, active participation is encouraged. Expect to engage regularly (at least once daily). If you're an extrovert, Fuad's class is a perfect fit. Highly suggest taking it in the afternoon, as it may be a bit much in the morning.

Such a great professor, would definitely recommend!! His class is hard but so fun

Fuad is awesome! He really encourages participation and is incredibly helpful in his teaching style. All in all, he's incredibly caring and fun loving. Some people may not like him because he sometimes comes off as blunt, but that's sort of how he just is. Super sweet regardless.

Amazing professor & truly cares about his students. Tests are hard & lengthy homework but he is very lenient & I feel my Spanish has improved alot. He clearly explains why points may have been taken off and gives very helpful feedback on assignments. Attendance is mandatory so make sure you go to class! If you have the chance to take him do it!

Dr. Elhage has been my favorite professor at UGA. He is so caring about the wellbeing and education of his students. He's tough, and this is not a great class for you to take if you aren't willing to work hard. I've had him for two professors in a row and he has been amazing.

I've had Profesor Elhage for 2 semesters in a row (that should say something about him). Can be tough at first but he is passionate about his students. Great character and a dancer! Lots of Connect assignments but that's just in general for the Spanish department. Take him; I can't recommend him enough as long as you're willing to put in the work.

Very interesting info but lots of homework. He cares about the students and material, and has a great sense of humor once you understand his vibe. He also allows extensions on homework and even tests. Don't take if you want an easy A, but overall a great class.

Typical amount of textbook homework. He did make me cry once because he can be pretty snappy about participation, especially if you don't know the right answer. Eventually explained my anxiety and how I don't really know anyone in the class and he was nicer and more patient with me for the rest of the semester. Show him that you are trying.

Very nice and keeps the classroom fun. Participation is necessary, and he grades harshly for it, so make sure you do more than raise your hand every once in a while.

is intimidating but youll get to know him

He is really nice and cares about his students. He is entertaining and makes his lectures interesting. Would highly recommend. On the first day of class he was pretty strict/harsh, but after that he was really chill. Definitely do not drop.

The syllabus is very intimidating, and for the first month, Elhage is very strict and kind of rude, but if you're willing to put in the work, you'll be fine. This class is not an easy A, but if you put in effort, you'll pass easily. After the first month, Elhage eases up and is very understanding, because he genuinely wants his students to pass.

Don't be intimidated by bad reviews, Spanish is difficult no matter who you take it with. The homework is the same as it would be in any other 2001 class. He starts off a little strict and scary, but throughout the semester he becomes super chill and fun. One of my favorite professors, he genuinely does care about his students.

Professor Elhage is a great teacher! He is super engaging and does ask for participation, but it genuinely helps you learn a lot and there isn't a lot of pressure because everyone else is also participating. He also cares a lot about his students and is very encouraging.

Fantastic, engaging, fun lectures. inspires me to do better, and i've considered adding a spanish minor because his class is fun. not always phenomenal at explaining things but he will try his best. he cares about every student and I can tell. participation MATTERS so make sure you're raising your hand, showing up to class on time, etc.

I really liked him as a teacher. The first few classes were very intimidating, but he opens up and becomes way more chill. The connects take up the most time outside of class but honestly they aren't bad. Don't go on your phone, finish the connects, and participate in class and you will do fine. He is a super fun teacher and keeps it interesting!

What an amazing professor. Certainly one of the most interesting people I have ever met. Fluent in three languages, great dancer, great teacher. I am not the best at Spanish naturally, but the resources he provided helped me a great deal in improving my knowledge of the language. Wish I could take him for every Spanish class.

Professor Elhage is really fantastic. Everyone here that's saying he's not didn't even try in his class. I learned so much and he is literally hilarious, and warms up after the first week or so. I'm terrible at foreign language so this class was a little hard, but if I could do it, anyone can. He's awesome and I wish I could take him again!

HWs are so long and he doest grade anything until the end of the semester. Be prepared to get cold called but if you are engaged and show interest he will love you.

I have a soft spot for Dr. Elhage, he's super sweet and endearing. I wouldn't consider him the best professor ever, but he's alright, and his class is fun most of the time. A little moody maybe sometimes, but generally very nice.
