Winter 2023 - I took SPAN 120 with Professor Van Delden in the Winter of 2023 in person. SPAN 120 has probably been one of my favorite upper-division Spanish courses I've taken at UCLA so far. Professor Van Delden is an amazing lecturer, he can at times be a little boring however you can tell he is very passionate about the material. Not only this, but he is very kind, and he made sure to memorize everyone's names. This course consisted of weekly quizzes on readings assigned to you the week prior and 3 essays. The coursework is not bad at all, simply pay attention during lectures and make sure to participate in your discussion section. I would take a course with Professor Van Delden again, he is funny at times and the stories he shares about his journey to becoming a professor are very interesting.

Winter 2020 - Very sweet man and a great professor. He was very understanding and always took the time to hear our concerns/ opinions. His weekly quizzes will most definitely not be missed. I sort of expected this class to be different, such as reading memoirs, poems, songs, or letters from people of the revolution, and, instead, it was simply dedicated to reading around 4 books about the time period. Overall, it was an interesting class and I would recommend it.
