Winter 2025 - This class was overall fun and interesting. It's pretty easy to do well if you listen in class and do the readings. Professor Kip is nice and cares about his students. My one complaint is it occupied significantly more time than my other Spanish classes have because you have to watch a lot of the movies outside of class as well as do weekly readings and "screening reports" which are like mini essays.
