Torrecilla is a very smart and articulate professor, his spanish is clear and easy to understand for non-native speakers and the class was well organized and presented. The readings werent the most engaging I have had, but the reader combines well with lecture to stress the major themes and get to the point of all the readings. Overall one of the better Spanish Lit. classes I have had here

One of the best professors I have had anywhere. Truly concerned about student learing, Torrecilia is always available to help. His lectures are well-organized, and he is funny, plus his tests actually reflect what he teaches. He does assign a lot of reading, and is not the easiest teacher in the world, but if you really want to develop a clear idea of the subject matter he teaches, he is the professor for you.
