Reviews of professor Sonia De La Cruz

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She was a really nice person, but a very hard grader without giving you the necessary feedback as to why. Also, she brings in concepts that are not learned in class or in the lectures to the tests which makes them very difficult. Finally, even if you "participate" during class all quarter don't expect a very high participation grade.

Her lectures did not add up leading to her tests. She states topics/ subjects that will be in the midterm/ finals but they do not end up being there. On top of that, she's a tough grader. She literally expects you to raise your hand at least once a week for participation. She also grades the participation based off your attendance.

Took this class as an elective. I though it would be interesting and a good balance when taking other 400 level classes (since this class is a 200 level). I participated in class and still received a poor grade for participation.

She gave pop-quiz on a snow day when a lot of students can not make it to campus. Absolutely no late work, not even a minute late, no excuses, not even you have a doctor's note. Tough Grader with very unclear expectations. Exams are vague.

Dr. DLC was awesome. She introduced so many new topics to the class all while keeping it interesting despite the heavy lectures. She wants people to engage so make sure you join class discussions! There are pop quizzes, but as long as you do the weekly readings, you'll be fine.

This is by far the worst professor I have had in my time at school. She is making me want to drop out of school honestly. she thinks she smarter than google. If you ask for help she will look at you like you're not bright and it makes you not even want to ask. She is a tough grader but won't explain why. DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF TAKING HER CLASS.

Dr. DLC is a fantastic professor! She allows freedom to expand on topics, encouraging input. Study her PP(s). Sincere professor with a wonderful outlook and does not act superior. Provides intellectual class discussions, only a few papers-though tough grader. Really hard grader

I absolutely like Professor De la Cruz as a person, she can be very personable, smile and laugh with you, but when it comes to grading, she is extremely harsh. When you put in a lot of work into your projects and you think you're doing good, she brings you down to earth really quick. Unless your an artist and can do everything perfect, beware.

fairly awful all around. nothing she talked about sounded logical. simple research proves her slides and presentations wrong. she is so unclear about what she wants, toughest grader I've had here. nothing on tests are what she said would be and grading criteria or even simple outlines aren't available. stay away if you like your gpa.
