Miguel Fernandez

Miguel is an awesome teacher and was incredibly passionate despite this being a grammar/ intro style course. I loved how he explained things, and he made an effort to facilitate group discussions. My main qualm with this course was how specific grading was. Honestly I dont even know some of those grammar structures in english, and didnt feel like drilling really specific things was the best way to learn how to speak and use the language.

I found stories by Borges to be difficult to read and analyze, but Professor Fernandez made doing so more enjoyable. He did a great job breaking down confusing themes and relating them to themes in other Borges texts we read. This course was difficult as an introduction to 300-level Spanish, but I am glad it was with Professor Fernandez, and it was very rewarding to understand and then be able to analyze the stories we would read through class discussion. Borges is such a unique person and author, and overall, I enjoyed taking such a deep dive into his work. Prof. Fernandez is such an enthusiastic and kind person, and I would love to take a class with him again.

Prof Fernandez is genuinely such a funny and enthusiastic lecturer, and I really liked the overall style of the class. Definitely harder than most 300-levels but my Spanish improved SO much. Especially my reading. Perfect for fans of literature/potential comp lit people, but overall just a fun class. Pretty tough grading on the papers.
