Average

Folmar is great for languages He is a chill dude, but unfortunately, I failed his class along with 85% of the other students. His test formats can be very challenging to follow if you aren't doing extended studying. He canceled class several times, so often that we did not have time to take our final! We did not get to take our second exam until AFTER the last day to withdraw. He's very nice, but Spanish is just hard (especially at a college level) when the teacher is from Argentina. His accent is impossible to understand and if you can't get it, you will fail.

Awful

Professor Folmar was very upset that we had to move to online learning, resulting in him not making an effort to zoom meetings even once. He didn't even upload any help until the last exam. It was a disappointment to see how well this teacher disappointed all his students. Also, he did not discuss about grades. And his attitude is terrible.

Awful

Honestly, Professor Folmar is horrible. He's a smart know-it-all. Also, he did not teach during the pandemic, but made a point of assigning a full load of homework and exams. He never once told you of your grade and caused a commotion when you asked. Definitely, he needs to change his approach because, his efforts were weak. I've had him twice and I'm glad I never will again.

Awful

When the pandemic happened unexpectedly, Professor Folmar refused to meet his students. He did not teach and never held a class. Instead, he made sure to assign a ton of homework. He never wants to discuss nor upload grades. He'll get frustrated with that. If you don't have a strong background about Spanish, I suggest you look for another professor.

Poor

Folmar despised it when the class didn't grasp something and would say things like "that's not that hard guys" even though Spanish isn't anyone's first language and it was challenging. He gives out far too much homework. Your grade is determined by your performance on the examinations. He hates it too when you inquire about your grade, so we give him our money in exchange for being kept in the dark about our grades.

Poor

This class with Professor Folmar is fast paced, but even faster because of the pandemic. I feel like I didn't really learn much and it was just about passing. To be direct, if you take it please have previous knowledge of Spanish or you will get lost very often. So, if you're struggling with Spanish, pick another professor, because he's a very fast-paced one.

Awful

I just want to thank this semester for being S/U because I would have not survived Professor Folmar's class. He hates it when we ask about our grades, even though you pay thousands of dollars for tuition and should be able to find out his grade whenever you want. Supposedly, he must drop a few assignments. However, no one thinks he did. His communication is horrible as well. So, good luck.

Poor

If you are not fluent in Spanish before taking Professor Folmar you'll be stuck. The homework load is insane. The exams will literally your entire grade which is insane too. I suggest you just choose another professor.

Awful

Professor Folmar is a wildcard. He acts like you're supposed to be fluent in Spanish when in reality that's not true. He gives you a lot of homework. The quizzes were fine though. The exam will be based on your entire grade. Also, it will be hard to even know your grade since he never updates the Blackboard. He's totally the worst.

Poor

Professor Folmar doesn't let you know any grades you received. It's like extracting a tooth to get the latest information on your grades. Covid-19 hasn't changed the way he led classes. It's a lot of homework that is ridiculous. If you don't pass your tests, you'll fail the class because it's very heavily weighted. Just avoid his class and if you do take him, then goodluck.
