Reviews of professor Hector Sotomayor

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I'm not sure why he has such good ratings. He is incredibly boring, his lectures take forever, he yells at you if you have your computer open, he marks you late/absent if you are 1 minute late, he leaves the slide up on the board for 3 seconds, and his midterm/finals are ridiculous amounts of info and memorizing. Would not take this class again.

Long class, 4 hrs long that consisted of a movie & two hours of lectures. He goes quick but you don't really need to take notes because his review for the midterm and final is very extensive. Has 8 journals you have to do, but the movies you watch are interesting and the questions aren't hard. Honestly was an easy A & I learned a lot

I like this class, the homework is super easy and he is an easy grader. However he blows through long lectures with tons of words in like 3 seconds. He never stays on a slide long enough for you to even write a directors last name. Easy A but am worried about exams. Does study sessions on zoom but always when I have class.

I love this professor and the class! I had to take it for my major, and it was super interesting. Journals are easy if you understand anything about movies or pay attention in class. The midterm was easy, especially if you go to the zooms. The best world cinema professor you can get!
