Professor Lupi is an amazing lecturer! He is engaging and wants the class to discuss the topics. It was the first time he taught SPAN52 and it was organized and and an exciting topic to learn about. There was lots of reading but no textbook. He also listened to us and took our suggestions for the class. An easy and interesting GE!

Knowledgeable and accommodating professor. Workload varies depending on the class he teaches, but this one in particular was heavy in writing (weekly essays for weeks 3-6~), but was an easy grader if you're already a good writer. Can be intimidating class at first but you'll realize it's easy and you just have to get through the weekly workload.

Never met a professor with no amount of compassion. Really disliked him. Horrible human being.

Professor Lupi is an amazing professor. He is very caring about his students and the material he is presenting, and he goes beyond to ensure we have a clear understanding of the material. There is a lot of reading because its a class about Sp-Am novelas, and there is an essay after each novel, but everything is doable. He is flexible & accomodating

I took Professor Lupi for Span 177 (Spanish-American Thought) and Span 169 (Spanish-Caribbean Literature/Culture), and I rave about these classes! As other reviews said, the readings are often dense/confusing, but his lectures are clarifying and you will learn a ton. Go to office hours for help w/ papers -- he's happy to help and super sweet!

Truly cares about his students. Although his lectures are hard to follow, he is incredibly accommodating and understanding of everyone in the class.

For this class, he has you write four short papers: two for the midterm and two for the final, worth 45% each. I really enjoyed the material he presented in the lecture and in the assigned readings. The problem with Lupi is that when he grades the does not give you feedback- which is a downside if you're trying to do better on your last two papers.

He is absolutely amazing! The class is not easy, but you will learn a lot and I would definitely recommend his class.

Interesting readings/topics. I didn't think he was a hard professor and his exams weren't too hard but apparently he's picky about grading. I wasn't too happy about the grade I received though I completed all the readings and seemed to do good on all exams.

He's a very good professor! All the readings were interesting and he explained them very well which made them easy to understand. Definitely recommend taking a class with him.

Professor Lupi is a wonder instructor. He is very fascinating to talk to and I have walked out of this course a million times more informed on current events in Latin America. He is super intelligent and I highly recommend him. I am looking forward to taking another class with Lupi.

Brilliant professor. Strong historical emphasis. Will make you an expert on topic in ten weeks. Very useful office hours. Best/most intelligent I've had at SB.
