I definitely learned a lot in Don Quixote, but this class is unnecessarily difficult. There is so much reading and so much work, and Professor Padron does not compensate for that with easy grading. It is one of the most demanding courses I've ever with respect to workload, and Padron is one of the toughest graders out there. Only take this course if you absolutely have to.

Padron is awesome- so fun and passionate about Don Quijote. The only down side to this class is that he knows the material so well that it's hard to impress him. Definitely not an easy class, but very interesting.

Great class with a great professor. Lots of reading and a very hard grader but well worth it in the end.
