Reviews of professor Laura O'Rourke

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
60+ page article to read every class, doesn't teach any additional info not provided in readings, takes up to 2 months to get scores back bc its "a lot of work ", only allowed to miss 2 classes (or 5% off final grade) I had a family emergency that didn't it allow me to attend and I still got marked down. Final presentation, essay, & test

Couldn't tell you the purpose of this class.. Prof was completely disorganized & all over the place the entire semester. Very confusing & chose to use so many platforms for homework and assignments. She had barely any idea of the course material & left the teaching to articles and youtube videos (sometimes full length movies). Do NOT recommend!!!!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not waste your time taking this professor. I promise you, you will regret it. There are so many discussions, her final and midterm she i guess thinks we are mind readers because she doesn't even let us know what is on those two tests. They are reallllllly hard. HIGHLY NOTTTTT RECOMMENDED!!!!

Overall for a Spanish professor she is insightful. She's a native Spanish speaker from Mexico so she understands it very well. There are a lot of homework assignments. Lots of orales and compositions. Some of the orales you have to do at home (creating videos, recordings) they took a lot of time. She is sometimes lenient and other times very strict

I would not recommend this class for people who hate reading cause there is a lot of it. The schedule is consistent and you will always know what is expected of you. Professor O'Rourke is clearly passionate about the subject and she is always accommodating. I learned a lot and this is the second class I took from her.
