Reviews of professor Frances Contreras

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Caring and understandable professor. Always accessible through email and office hours. Everything is pretty straightforward, and I found the class to be very interesting. 1 group project that is pretty simple. Something to watch out for: attendance IS graded + there are graded in-class activities, so make sure you attend if you want a good grade!

Absolutely LOVED her class. She connected personal anecdotes to lectures that made material really easy to understand. Not much homework, just five-question response papers to short videos/films relating to topics. Study guides exactly as the exams. If you want a chill and eye-opening GE class, take this!

Highly recommend taking Professor Contreras's class! There was 4 film reaction papers, 2 tests w/ a page of cheat sheets (both sides), and a couple of quizzes, which she goes over in class! She's not a very tough grader and her class was not difficult at all. She's a very sweet professor, so I would suggest taking her class if you need it for GE!
