Reviews of professor Rosario Porras-Aguilar

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
This class was a very stress free class. All of the work was through a third party software that was really frustrating to use but was not a big deal. The tests had to be on lockdown browser and theres a research project but it was a very easy class and completely asynchronous

Extremely nice teacher and a very good lecturer. Homework is very clear and the entire class was asynchronous. You can make 1 normal page of notes for every test, and the same for the final. The structure of the course is meant to best help students learn and retain astronomical information, which was extremely nice.

Dr. Porras is super nice but new at teaching it seemed. She wants to see her students do well but her lectures can sometimes drift off into super basic algebra concepts. Do the homework because the homework is harder than the tests. If you put some effort into the homework and spend some time on it, the tests will be easy.

She's Hispanic that's why her accent is hard to understand. The class is a little bit hard, but the test is very easy.

This professor did not make class enjoyable, during her lectures she would click through every slide not giving her students enough time to finish notes. She was very unreasonable and unfair in the grading process, and did not do a very good job of teaching the material. I do not recommend this professor.

Not a bad professor. Class is comprised of lots of chapter homework assignments due at the end of the week. 4 Exams + Final all on Lockdown browser. Attendance is recorded and graded. Sometimes misrecorded grades so be sure to pay attention and check the syllabus.

I had this class during Covid-19, it was very easy for the most part and the professor was helpful. The class requires a $70 textbook for homework. The homework and tests make up the majority of your grade. The tests are very easy as they are derived from the homework. So no need to watch the lectures. The homework takes about 20 mins a week.

The professor is very sweet, but has a thick accent. Lecture heavy and I felt that I didn't learn much by listening to her talk for hours, but that is my personal learning experience.

She gave me an 89.51% and wouldn't round up.
