Reviews of professor Hope Gamboa

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Uses a very inconvenient textbook that was difficult to set up and navigate. Does respond fairly quickly, but gives short answers which can sometimes be confusing. Be prepared to get lots of email announcements that basically say the same thing. Very strict with deadlines. Would not take again.

Hardest thing about this class were the discussions. She has a 0,25,75, or 100 grading rubric, you never get just a 90 or a score that is not listed. For example If you make a small mistake like forgetting to put citations you get a 75. Other then that she's not a bad teacher.

Took her class last yr. She sends reminder emails 3+ times a week. She copies & pastes all emails & only changes the assignment name and the due dates. Why, I'm not sure. Grades discussions too harshly for someone who does not provide a rubric or an example. Filled out feedback form at the end of semester & she clearly has not improved. Avoid.

Like someone else said, she sends out really long, redundant reminder emails. She wasn't clear about discussion posts (20% of grade) either. She didn't like that I was "criticizing" someone when I brought up something that another student had forgotten. But online quizzes are easy (60%) since most can be looked up. Midterm & final are also online.
