Reviews of professor Elizabeth Burciaga

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
While Dr.Pando is nice, she is the most boring teacher I have EVER had. It is incredibly difficult to stay attentive in her class. She contradicts herself quite a lot and rambles on about something unimportant every class. Also the textbook is a complete waste of money! Nothing from it was mentioned in the midterm. Don't take it unless you have to.

Dr. Pando is really nice and her class are well organized. She really cares about her students and about the content she is teaching but the class was very boring. She often lets students talk for ages just for what they say to be idiotic and redundant. It often took many days to get through a few slides.

Super easy course but unfortunately Dr. Burciaga was not accessible. Response times are extremely slow and marks are VERY late. A lot of participation marks too (35%) and you cant even make up for missed attendance no matter what which is horrible in a pandemic. I would avoid this prof but she does mark easy (from what we know so far lol)

She was Ok. I had some problems with her final exam, felt a little too heavy on lecture-based material than actual textbook/slides material. But overall, her class is easy and a good summary of what poli sci is, so overall, it is a solid introduction course.

Im just going to start off by saying: don't buy the textbook for this course, it was completely unnecessary. That being said, Prof Pando was a pretty good teacher, however she would sometimes go off on unrelated examples and we would barely cover class content. But, most examples were relevant and gave another side to what we discuss.
