Professor Slessinger is a great professor. He's very laid back, and relaxed. He doesn't really have any plan for what he teaches, and does jump around in the material a lot. He keeps everyone until the very last second of every class. He reviews everything before the test and tells you what will be on it. Tests are often, but easy.

He is really not for every1. If you know some spanish, he is a great teacher. If not, your going to have to learn alot of vocab fast. He does layout the test for you and just expects you to know how to use the verbs and vocab. It was in class verbal excerises that seemed to be the problem. If you cant pronouce or know meaning he freaks. Overall ok

He's a good professor. I was not able to come to class one day and he lets retake a test even though I didn't have a medical excuse. He's laid back and the class is easy. He gives you everything you need to study and succeed. You just have to utilize it. I took him for Elemantary Spanish 2 and got an A as well.

Professor Slesinger is one of the best! I had him for Spanish 2 and it is hard to not pass his class. Translate your hw from Spanish to English and you will get extra credit. Do all of your connect. If you miss a class get your make up work. He really only uses your text book for the vocab on your tests not much for anything else.

Professor Slesinger was a great instructor. The classes included lectures and class participation. If you use and understand the study guides, you should do very well on the tests. The textbook was not needed except for vocab. words. His teaching style was easy and the class was fun. I would definately take this professor again.

Took for ENC1101 & 1102 with the goal of getting a good foundation for actually learning Esp. If you want an A, show up, do the homework, stay on top of the online stuff!, and right before the test he goes over everything that will be on the test exactly. If you want to learn span, also use Duolingo, study extra vocabulary, & practice speaking

Professor Slesinger is great at explaining concepts in a way that anyone can understand. He offers extra credit (2-4 pts) for each homework assignment. The class is very heavy on participation so be prepared. Always reviews tests beforehand. The Connect code comes with an ebook version for free. This is not a class where only Spanish is allowed.

He also gives good history stories as it relates to Spanish and shows a few good Spanish-related history documentaries. Gives homework every class but it's super easy. Tests are easy as well.

One of the best professors I've ever taken. As a working, adult student , who is almost finished with my bachelor degree, I put off taking a foreign language as long as I could. Spanish 1120 was a disaster. While I passed I didn't learn a thing. Spanish 1121 was totally different. Professor Slesinger is the only professor I would take for Spanish.

Amazing professor. You have to show up to class to pass because he gives homework and in class assignments (very easy) but he tells you everything that will be on the test, and gives you a review before each one. If you translate the homework assignments he will give extra credit. He has a sense of humor as well.

I was scared to take my first language class, but Professor Slesinger is nothing to fear. He is very much about "If you don't want to try hard, I'm not gonna waste my time forcing you to." But that being said, this was the easiest of my 5 classes this semester. If you get anything less than a B, it's likely to be your own fault.

The professor really is kind, caring, funny and helpful. The class is a definite easy A if you do and remember exactly everything he gives you. What he goes over will be on the tests exactly as he gives it. You do need the online code because his homework requires it, and it can be a little bit of work but it is not hard.
