Reviews of professor Patricia Tovar

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
very clear grading criteria + straightforward class. Weekly quizzes and discussion boards here + there. a film analysis paper + midterm/final (mc + short answer). can be a little difficult but if you take time to review slides + do the reading it is very easy.

I am currently taking her sex and culture class. You would think this class would be interesting but it's not. She doesn't use a textbook and instead gives weekly assignments with very long readings so be prepared. She doesn't respond to emails on the weekends and when she does respond, she's very vague and takes long. She's alright.

She is has a heavy accent, but you can understand her, class was interesting, she is very understanding in terms of assignments extends time to finish tests, quizzes, and discussion boards. More of a student's responsibility to learn, because she can go off topic.

If you take this class it is a lot of reading and discussion boards are due at 11:59pm every sunday. There are small 5 question quizzes, a midterm, and a final. Make sure to do the discussion boards because they are 70% of your grade. NO PAPERS FOR THIS CLASS!!!!

This class was not bad at all although there was a decent amount of reading for some weeks but it was unnecessary to complete some assignments. The lectures weren't too long and organized well. She responds to emails but every few days. There were quizzes, discussion boards, and a ethnographic project that she give two weeks to complete. Good luck!

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. If you reach out to her for help or clarification, she will simply tell you that you are incompetant and dumb. If you do not understand something, it will be up to you to figure it out. She doesn't teach or instruct.
