Past student reviews · Laura Hernandez
Laura Hernandez taught with slides that contained little to no words, making them difficult to use for the required worksheets that exams were based on. While one student noted she did not give great answers to questions, another found her to care a lot about students, and a third described her grading as iffy and not clear.
