Her assignments are worth very few points, and small mistakes are penalized. In my experience, she has a profound lack of respect for students and was extremely condescending when asked questions. It is quite a bummer because the course material is interesting.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2693013","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":1.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:04:18.335318+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTQwNDM0NjY5","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2693013","instructor_name":"Susan Dominguez","course_label":"AMERIND172","course_id":"AMERIND/ENGL 172","course_uid":"course_00137ff534f703b94fc27f2d","review_date":"2024-12-25 05:21:27 +0000 UTC","comment":"She can be a little unconventional at times and not play by the books (which is funny because the class I took with her is about literature.) Nevertheless, at least for her Gen Ed class, just be respectful and put in effort, and take pride in your work, and you should be able to succeed!","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2693013","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:04:18.335318+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM5OTgxMDEy","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2693013","instructor_name":"Susan Dominguez","course_label":"AMERIND172","course_id":"AMERIND/ENGL 172","course_uid":"course_00137ff534f703b94fc27f2d","review_date":"2024-11-19 17:31:57 +0000 UTC","comment":"Not sure how people have such negative reviews, I had a completely different experience. She is one of the kindest teachers I have had and has gone out of her way to help me. The lectures are boring but if you just show up you get all the points. Same with the exams, she tells you what to do, and if you just follow directions you will do well.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2693013","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:04:18.335318+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM4MzgyNDY0","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2693013","instructor_name":"Susan Dominguez","course_label":"AMERIND172","course_id":"AMERIND/ENGL 172","course_uid":"course_00137ff534f703b94fc27f2d","review_date":"2023-11-13 19:34:28 +0000 UTC","comment":"While this class was incredibly easy, Professor Dominguez displayed incredibly unprofessional behavior throughout the semester. She is rude to students, her assignments are unclear, and her lectures are irrelevant. Luckily most assignments/papers are based on readings which is why many students get by.

She won't assign 1000+ word papers until a few days before they're due, and they're only 4 points with small grammar mistakes being -0.25 EACH. Talks a lot about when we \"get to the real world.\" Made me come to class w/ a concussion.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2693013","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:04:18.335318+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM3MzY1ODYz","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2693013","instructor_name":"Susan Dominguez","course_label":"AMERIND172","course_id":"AMERIND/ENGL 172","course_uid":"course_00137ff534f703b94fc27f2d","review_date":"2023-01-22 22:42:27 +0000 UTC","comment":"Took the class just to satisfy breadth, and it was perfect. She understood that many ppl were doing this, and assigned the workload accordingly. Only a few papers, could get away without reading, and although some the the grading was questionable, most people got an A in her class. Excellent class to take for reqs, and interesting topics covered.

Assignments (even whole essays) are all worth about 3-4 points and little mistakes like incorrect word order of a citation will cost you about .5 points. Go to office hours. If you're thinking about taking a class from this professor, do not let the other ratings completely steer you away, but be prepared to put in work.

Also, she grades assignments out of 4 points so if you make one mistake you're down to 3.75/4 right away.
