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!

Professor Cabranes, is enthusiastic about his subject matter! He likes interacting with his students, and cares about our opinions! His energy always made lecture fun! Amazing class

He is super passionate about the subject and a very clear lecturer. He encourages student participation and takes offense to students who leave class early or are on their phones/facebook/ etc.

An incredible professor, extremely personable and approachable; he taught with a fluidity and passion that made his class extremely interesting addition to my quarter. I would highly recommend any class taught by this amazing professor.

Really enthusiastic teacher who will help you if you ask. Books vary in interest level, but either read them or read a lot of summaries and figure out quotes for the tests. He gives midterm prompts in advance to even the field between native speakers and learners, which I really appreciated.

Professor Cabranes-Grant came to UC Davis and taught DRA 155. He was a great professor! Very nice and knows what he's talking about. I definitely recommend him!

The best lecturer I've had at UCSB. Loved the class, felt like my mind had been opened after every lecture. Easy to talk to if something goes wrong (like when I almost passed out in the middle of class, left the room with no explanation, he got angry, but not at all after I explained). If you can, take classes from Leo.

I totally love this man! He always gives a really interesting lecture and loves to involve the class. Definetly gets you thinking.

I though he was awesome. I really likes what he teaches, which helps, and he teaches it well. Pretty easy class, as long as you attent. Take his class, you'll like it!
