Reviews of professor Mariana Ortega

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I did not enjoy one second of this class! It wasnt listed as an honors class when I enrolled but it was. The readings are very hard to understand and if philosophy is difficult for you do not take this class! The course description sounded interesting but the class was not! I had a very busy schedule and found it hard to find time to read!

The syllabus says to read about 20 pages of philosophy papers every week but I only read two and still got a B in the class. If you pay attention in class and go to the discussions, you'll do fine in the class with minimal effort.

Ortega is hilarious and really nice. You have to read a lot of PDF articles for homework every night but you can get away with not reading if you are good at making stuff up. There are only like three grades all semester.

Dr Ortega is a very helpful professor. I had her class asynchronous so I barely got to meet with her, but she would hold office hours for every essay we had to write to give us feedback and tips. She is super nice and gives detailed explanation about topics. I would definitely recommend her class as a gen ed.
