Reviews of professor Roberta Hurtado

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Professor Hurtado is a nice enough lady, and is extremely knowledgeable in what she teaches. That being said, her expectations are borderline ridiculous, especially during pandemic times. Her attendance policy seems to reflect a disconnect from the current world. The dense reading requirements favor students who don't have to work for a living.

Professor Hurtado is the best professor Ive ever had. I love listening to everything she has to say and im never uninterested. Best advice: Read!, and you only get two absences without points deducted so choose wisely.

This class was really interesting and informative. There was a LOT of reading and writing, but most of it was engaging. Dr. Hurtado is very kind and cares about what her students have to say. Sometimes she brings baked goods. :) The attendance policy is harsh, though, especially for pandemic times (you get two absences before your grade drops.)

There was quite a bit of reading but the majority of the class didn't ever do it, lied about it & got away w it. If u write less ur better off so I guess not reading is the way 2 go. She doesn't provide u w a rubric 4 grading then docks u 4 things u weren't aware of. If it's not her way it's wrong. She drones on & on as u pray 4 class to end.

I would not reccomend She brought me to tears on several separate occasions after emailing her... refuses to talk to students like people. the work is really intense and she makes everything harder than it needs to be. As another minority I was excited for her class but she is really strict about how you represent that

This class can be summed up as "it's simpler than its made out to be." Assignments can seem challenging but if you just follow the prompt it gets easier. Homework is frequent but fairly consistent. Textbook is very hard to read but you don't actually need to understand it all for the lecture. For some reason is very literalist about poems.

Dr. Hurt ado is a godsend to the English department. She is so adorable and makes you excited to learn in her class. She is also super caring and passionate about the material shes teaching and the students shes working with. Her assignments are pretty easy and straight forward, just as long as you do the work and reading. Nothing late is accept.

You have to read a lot, and she's a tough grader! There were a few times that I was worried about passing. But you can see she cares about the material. I was a little concerned she focused so much on Latinx culture because the class could've been focused on so many different cultures. I'm not sure I'd recommend this class but she's not a bad prof.
