Mario Higa

Mario is a great teacher he was always very excited and ready to make class fun. Even though class is everyday we only had one homework assignment a week and then a quiz every monday, so as long as you make it to most of the classes and head to language tables this class is not very hard. I think a very important part of why I liked this course so much was the TA Anita, she was really sweet and fun and she made the events and language tables really awesome. I think because her and the other students were all very cool and fun that definitely made this course more impactful to me.

Easy course. Certainly reccomend if you enjoy soccer. Not the best course if you want to improve your Spanish. Really fun professor. Homework was easy. Texts are hard to understand as the academic Spanish can be difficult.

Professor Higa makes class super fun and engaging every single day. He is extremely (sometimes even overly) accommodating so even though this is a very easy class it does mean that you have to be disciplined and put your own work in if you want to improve in Portuguese since he will just let you put in whatever commitment you want.
