CollegeClass was graded off of 4 essays (2-page double spaced) and 1 oral presentation. He was a lenient grader, very passionate about what he teaches, and class is very interactive. Amazing professor that makes class interesting and engaging. Definitely recommend this class and him as a professor!
Very passionate and knowledgable about what he teaches, his teaching style is very unique and he encourages participation through creative activities, 4 papers and 1 oral presentation. I would def take a class with prof cabranes-grant again!
Such an easygoing professor who wants you to practice your Spanish. Really passionate about teaching, only had to write a few short papers.
Prof who tries to make the class interactive (that's an understatement), in a creative way, and tries to make content relevant. Is a good lecturer and knows his stuff, and is also understanding and nice too. Class was never difficult to prep for or for exams/papers. Very manageable, sometimes heavy reading though some weeks.
Professor Cabranes-Grant is a great professor. He's super animated and engaging in the class material. We had one midterm essay and one final essay, both take home, and a small presentation on a poem in class. I learned a lot and have a newfound appreciation for the material!
This class was unlike any class I've taken before! It was all about having an interactive and immersive experience. We would do stretches or mini theater games during lecture. We went outside to practice what we learned. And the final was a group performance along with a 3 page report. By the end you'll understand what it means to be a spect-actor!
