Joe Barcroft

This professor was THE worst Spanish professor I had at WashU. He never responded to emails, returned assignments months later, and gave minimal feedback to improve overall work in the class. I am a quieter student and although I received A's on all of my assignments, I still ended up getting an A-. Upon questioning the grade, I got 0 response.

Taken a few classes with him, enjoyed them all. The pattern is: grade mostly based a few major assignments but he gives you info to prepare and is pretty lenient. He'll work with you and also if you're interested in a particular topic he will be very enthusiastic to help you learn more. Only wouldn't take if you have no interest in linguistics.

The class was very enjoyable. It did require a lot of memorization, but overall I thought the work load was reasonable. Overall, Professor Barcroft was a great professor and I would recommend his class to other advanced Spanish students interested in linguistics.

An approachable and easygoing professor with an obvious love for the subject matter.

Just ask for help if needed, he's more than willing to help you out with school work and department stuff. Nice guy.
