Saylín is the best! She is a super easy grader and very lenient with deadlines. There was one day we were supposed to write an in-class essay, but she just shrugged and said we didn't have to do it on the day of. The essays are also open-note.Rate My Professors ↗
I could honestly write so many positive things about Saylin. She's a wonderful, caring, and hilarious teacher. I think its important to mention there's no "final" exams in her class, just quizzes, and a big group project that counts as your "final". It involves a video, essay, and a presentation. She also only speaks Spanish in class unless needed.Rate My Professors ↗
Very kind and caring professor, who wants to see all of her students succeed. She will stop and make sure everyone understands. If you study a bit for the midterm exams, and put effort into everything else you can earn a good grade in this class.Rate My Professors ↗
Saylin is incredibly understanding, kind, and passionate about her work. The effort she put into her class did not go unnoticed! Homework was manageable and the criteria for projects were clearly stated. I highly recommend taking a class with her!Rate My Professors ↗
She is great! Really good at what she does and her feedback is really helpful too on essays! If you ever need help you can email her, set up a 1-on-1 and more. She is caring and integrates topics on latinidad, racism, colorism and more in her class. I loved it!Rate My Professors ↗
Saylin is amazing. She's so caring and made every effort to get to know students. I took her during a COVID semester and she was still one of my most personable professors. She really works to make course content relevant; all of the writing assignments revolved around current issues, and everything we did taught you about more than just grammar.Rate My Professors ↗
