This is my second time taking a class with Charo and it's been another amazing semester. She makes lectures engaging and is truly interested in what she teaches. Minimal work for a 3 credit class and gives you many opportunities to get bonus points in and out of lecture. She's also pretty funny and energetic. Totally recommend her!

It wasn't difficult to follow her instructions and take A. Her class was very interesting.

Charo is very accommodating and willing to give students opportunities. She often even sacrifices her own after-class time to offer remedial chances to those students who did not attend the lecture. The questions she sets are all intended to help students understand the class content, rather than to cause students to receive poor grades.

Charo was the best professor I had. She was kind and made the lecture engaging. Class expectations are made clear from the first day. It is not a lot of work or a lot of reading. Do remember this is a com b class with com b requirements! Discussion attendance is essential for the A, not the lecture. She also gives opportunities for bonus points!

Took her class on The Tale of Genji. Engaging lecturer and is very clear about grading criteria. This is by no means an easy class, but if you do the reading and attend lectures, the work will not be too difficult.
