This professor is not what her reviews say!!! She is absolutely amazing, and it is a privilege to take with her!!! Her knowledge about the subject is actually astounding. While yes, the class is discussion and challenging, it will teach you to be more confident in your ideas. Her classes are enriching.Rate My Professors ↗
She taught me to think critically about literature and challenge opposing views. She's very knowledgeable and always pushes her students to learn. She is overall an amazing teacher y muy amable!! :))Rate My Professors ↗
