Had a long paper for the class, but he wasn't very clear on what he wanted. Didn't even have all the papers to hand back out when he said there would be. Means well through lecture, but it is pretty boring. He's big on iclickers.

His lectures are boring. Basically you sit there and listen to him talk for an hour. He means well but it was hard to stay interested during lectures. He is also pretty fluent so unless you're pretty good don't take him because he expects a lot from you.

such a hard class! you have to read a new novel each week, and they are very difficult. there was 2 essays (one term paper and one midterm) and the final was 2 essays. i hated going to lecture but you have to go because he does not post lectures online

Relies on the books heavily. Buy them all and read them all.

Really nice guy, has a great sense of humor, and is very understanding if you're confused. Likes discussion but is willing to lecture if it is obvious that the reading wasn't understood. Not the easiest grader, but fair. Pretty cute too. :)

Professor Prieto is the equivalent of a graceful ballet dancer when he's teaching. He flows wonderfully from topic to topic and makes every aspect of the reading interesting. Even though we were in an auditorium class, he still stops to ask opinions! I loved this class. Prieto is also totally dreamy in the gentle intellectual kind of way.

He's wonderful! I took this class as a GE, and I'm glad I did. He certainly knows his stuff and he's very, very nice and accepting of other opinions. All the reading was interesting, and I kept up with it; didn't study much and got a B+. He's not bad to look at either!

This guy is brilliant with languages, and is genuinely concerned with student growth and development. His testing and grading are both very fair-no nasty surprises either. I don't like his preference for the rhetorical question because it can make him seem condescending. He may not mean to be, but he is too enigmatic for his intent to be read.

One of the best profs I've taken at this uni. He's excellent because he is receptive to the class' level/needs, which is not as common as it should be. He encourages everyone to speak their minds which is what this class was all about. He's very professional/organized & knows the material very well. It was a pleasure to be taught by such an intelli

He's very fair. You have to keep up with the reading, and learn to analize it the way he does in class, and you'll do fine on the midterms and papers. Really open minded and nice guy, loved the class.

Prof. Prieto was one of my favorite professors. Though he has his own ideas, he very willing to hear others' opinions. Very engaging!
