This class is easy as long as you study hard and review the *important* pages of the textbook before a test. (outline best since hes disorganized with his teaching) Dont take this class if you dont study efficiently b4 a test. YOU WILL BE LOST. dont leave before class ends either he also counts that as an absence. Participationattendance

Very funny guy, but gets off track a lot. You need to study in order to pass, cant slack in this class at all. Teaches kinda fast and has a very cocky attitude. Not a hard class if you pay attention and study. Lots of homework!! Only a few tests, and theyre hard. Final is much easier than any of his work he gives himself.

Prof Joseph is great! I got an A in both FRE101 & FRE102. Made learning French super easy. Hes hilarious and dedicated to your education. He does have a tendancy to get off-track, and sometimes speaks too quickly but not enough to prevent you from learning anything. As long as you take good notes, and do the homework & review sheets, youll be ok!

ONE OF A KIND! I never met a person or professor with this kind of crazy hyper energy. He cares about his students, makes the class laugh a lot and teaches very well! The online homework is mandatory; other professors on the campus gives the same kind. Tests are easy if you study, he goes over review tests with you. I absolutely recommend him!!!

Participation helps to makes you feel more comfortable and further understand the subject! The test were easy since there was always a review sheet we went over in class prior to the test.

Highly recommend this professor! Foreign language is usually very painful for me and he made things fun and easier than usual. If you do the homework on mindtap (you have 5 chances) and show up on zoom you will do well. He is understanding and did not make me feel stupid for not knowing what I was saying.

There's a lot of homework but you have 5 attempts to do it and it's not hard. You can request a due date extension for the MindTap assignments. If you study for the tests, you should do fine. The presentation project was easy IMO. He's very funny and cares about his students. Speaking Spanish can be awkward but you'll get used it.

You'll never be bored in his lectures because he's probably one of the wackiest people I've met but in a good way. His homework can usually be done and turned in within about 30 minutes to an hour.

I took him for Elementary Spanish 1. To start off His voice is really squeaky, I can't stand it/him sometimes. other then that he was "nice" but he didn't always reply to my emails so it was very difficult to communicate with him outside of class. The test are pretty simple if you study but you basically teach yourself.

Okay, so this is the weirdest rate my professor review I have ever written. Believe me when I say he is competent at teaching. he is not outstanding in any sense but he isnt bad. However, I am genuinely under the belief that this man takes some sort of illicit stimulant before class. If you can put up with the crack ramblings, then he's great
