Reviews of professor Maria Santos

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Santos seems like a nice person but as a new professor, she sucks. Tests (which were difficult), in class assignments, pop quizzes, and exams are all a part of your grade. My class had an average of 69 for a test. You basically have to teach yourself and hope you can stay awake during lecture.

She shouldnt teach. She talks the entire lecture, and doesnt make sense when shes trying to explain concepts. After explaining a concept, she asks if everyone understands, people claim they dont, and then she ignores it and says that shell go over it more but never does. I shouldve checked her ratings before I took the class.

the material that was gone over was really interesting! however, she talks really fast and often focuses on time. it often leads her to stutter a lot. in terms of her test/quizzes she does *a lot* of choose the best answer which she means literal although there is more than one correct answer. if youre taking her at 9 am she will be late a lot!

Dr. Santos is intelligent and super nice! Shes awesome if you get to know her. I admit her class is tough its not a class where you can slack off, you need to put in the work! Reading the chapters is crucial bc it relates to lectures, popquizzes, and exams. Exam 2 was the hardest! study smart dont depend on others study guides. Final is optional!

Professors lectures are interesting and you learn a lot. Quizzes are understandable if you do the studying and the reading. Exam and quiz questions are tricky since it is answered by "what choice best" so there may be multiple correct but only one is above. Put in the work and you'll pass

I don't think the class was hard, it was just a lot of reading to keep up on. You could probably pass without the book, but I wouldn't recommend it because she goes so fast on her slides. 7 pop quizzes (drops 2 lowest grades), 4 exams (drops 1 lowest exam), and 1 three-page essay. Also, she's super nice, caring, and accessible outside of class.

speaks in a monotone so lecture is extremely boring. i do not recommend her. tests are hard because the choices are similar. this was supposed to be my fun class & it ended up being one the hardest/worst. she's new & it shows, teaching isn't for her. prepare to teach yourself if you take her.
