He's a really cool guy and the assignments are creative enough that they don't feel like a chore.SPNS3201 2014-12-22 19:34:59 +0000 UTC
Great professor. Has a specific sense of humor, very ironic and funny! Very "chilled" and pleasant class atmosphere. He tends to give a lot of worksheets in class and gives homework due every class, however most of the time we just go over it. Sometimes he'll decide to collect it. He is very laidback though, so I would definitely recommend him.SPNS1102 2013-04-10 11:07:15 +0000 UTC
Flores is such a funny, light spirited, and laid back professor. He really tries to make the class funny. The subject itself was hard for me, but he's willing to meet with you to make sure you get the material. He doesn't care about attendance. Never replies to emails. He hasn't given any grades back all semester, and only had like 2 assignments.SPNS2201 2012-12-13 10:39:01 +0000 UTC
Sr. Flores es fantastico! I had so much fun taking Spanish with him, and only wish I could take another level with him! It was pretty casual, and he was always making jokes and although it was mostly in Spanish, there would be an occasional English explanation. Not very time consuming (BEWARE the service-learning project though-some like a 2nd job)SPNS3101 2012-03-24 12:39:37 +0000 UTC
He is funny and all, but he failed to control the class. He has a potential to become a good professor, but when the classroom atmosphere feels like one in highschool, you are not a good instructor.SPAN3101 2011-12-20 09:34:29 +0000 UTC
Very funny and entertaining, but gives no progress reports and is a very hard grader. Never answers emails.SPNS202 2011-12-19 16:29:59 +0000 UTC
Spanish 1 was so much fun! It is one of the only classes I looked forward to going to every day. We do a lot of talking so it is really helpful to feeling comfortable using the language, but it is always really fun. Professor Flores is awesome!!!SPANI1 2011-07-24 15:13:22 +0000 UTC
Guy is great. Easy class (Spanish I), hilarious examples, easy going, and relaxed. I actually enjoyed going to this summer class.SPN1111 2011-06-26 17:42:22 +0000 UTC
Fantastic professor. Easy-going, fun to be around, overall nice guy. I learned much, much more in this class than I expected to. I had him for a summer semester, so things got a little bit rushed towards the end. Other than that, my only complaint is that he doesn't teach Spanish 2. I highly recommended.SPAN1101 2011-06-23 13:34:58 +0000 UTC
Wonderful professor! Very approachable and engaging. Class is very fast-paced but the fun atmosphere makes it easier to learn difficult material. Not too much homework, no tests, mainly class discussions and presentations. Take him!LNSU611 2009-04-22 01:51:23 +0000 UTC
Really nice guy and extremely funny but is a very tough grader. He does not have office hours and was not the most helpful. His class was fun but when it was time to take a test the class had no idea what the material was because he does not stay focused during class. Articles due every week and multiple essays throughout the course.LNS311 2009-04-19 22:42:42 +0000 UTC
Awesome professor, very nice and very funny. The material is as challenging as any other Spanish course but Prof. Flores is very good about answering any questions or helping you during office hours. Overall, this was a very helpful and fun class.LNS301 2008-12-16 11:48:23 +0000 UTC
He was the funniest foreign language teacher I've ever had. I looked forward to going to class just to see what he was going to pull out of the hat each day. He made the class easy to learn in. By far the best spanish class I've had so far! Very enjoyable.LNSU102 2008-12-15 22:17:53 +0000 UTC
Had him for spanish 2. Class was pretty easy. Really boring though.LNS102 2008-12-15 21:01:39 +0000 UTC
Best professor at NU, by far. Made class so much fun, was actually enjoyable to go to. Tests can be a little hard, but he grades fairly easily. Preps you for them well though. Awesome guy!LNS302 2007-11-06 21:34:19 +0000 UTC
