Pedro is the kindest professor I've had. He goes out of his way to help you learn and I felt respected as a person. I'm able to have short conversations in Spanish now and it's definitely because of this class. The only parts that really were difficult were the homework assignments, which he sadly has no control over.

Pedro is a great professor. I enjoyed taking his class and will take it again next quarter. He wants to see everyone succeed. I definitely recommend taking a course with him. There is always homework but it isn't too bad. The only thing that I did not like was having to pay for the online textbook and the lingua meeting sessions.

Pedro Craveiro is an awesome Portuguese teacher. He makes every class entertaining. I took this class for my major and I highly recommend it.

Pedro is incredibly kind and he really cares about his students! The assignments definitely require a lot of effort, but I can confidently say my Spanish has improved quite a lot over the quarter and the people I've spoken to agree. 100% recommend rearranging your schedule to take his classes!

It's rare to find a professor who truly cares about their students like Pedro. He is attentive and ensures everyone understands a topic before moving on. He creates a positive learning environment and encourages group work and speaking in Portuguese. His was the only class that quarter that I was sad to miss when I was sick. I 100% recommend!

Had Pedro for PORT125A and he is awesome. He just wants you to succeed and get something out of his courses that you can apply to your specific major. Highly recommend any of his random elective classes.
