Reviews of professor Cindy Murillo

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Love this professor! Lot's of heavy reading, but don't stress. Cindy goes over all the readings in class if you don't understand. All tests were open book/open note. She's super approachable and values creative thinking over one correct answer.

Dr. Murillo is an exceptional instructor and I really took to her approach--discussion/lecture. The textbook is online and her Canvas is organized so you can go back and look over things you forgot or need for an assignment. The in-class activities help immensely and are really fun if you get in the right group (nonslackers).

Global Encounters was such a great class and I have never taken a course like this before. It provided a really good base for my other classes since it is like a survey, but with art, music, film, philosophy, literature, etc. Professor Murillo has this assignment with masks, which was amazing because I had no clue about South American culture.

Cindy is an amazing teacher, she genuinely cares about all of her students and calls on people to make sure they're participating. There is a lot of small work that is graded on but they were all easy! She is from Costa Rica so she can talk fast, but just tell her 'no comprendo' and she'll explain it to you.

Dr. Murillo is honestly my favorite professor. Interdisciplinary Studies and Theory was immensely helpful and I really liked group work for the first time! I will miss her!
