Grades harshly if you don't participate a lot. Will call you out during class for anything. Has readings every day and doesn't mention them in class.

Eloi is a fantastic professor. He is sharp, funny, and an engaging lecturer. For his upper division Spanish courses you need to have basically fluent comprehension of the language, but he is not a stickler for grammar in written assignments and is very understanding. I looked forward to coming to his class every day!

we watched movies and you only had to write two papers then the final, plus participation. the class workload was doable and the class itself was also. manageable. did not regret coming to class

Prof Grasset is fantastic. I took this course w/ little Spanish speaking skills and he offered all the movies with English subs and let’s you participate in English if you’re not a Spanish major/minor. His guidelines are casual so as long as you prove you’re engaging with the material through the papers and discussions you’ll get an A.

This class and professor were awesome! Relatively simple and straightforward, watched one movie a week, one response paper all quarter, essay-based short and simple midterms and finals. The movies were all cool and for the post movie discussions, Prof Grasset made us think critically which helped me get a lot out of the class.

This course was filled with very interesting films and lectures that covered the films and the readings. Its not so much reading heavy as it is having to write a few papers throughout the course which are not at all hard to complete as its a page or two of writing per submission. Would take again for sure
