Reviews of professor Heidi Torres

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This class was a great and Dr. Torres was always super insightful and caring. Her grading criteria is different than any of the other classes I have ever taken, but if you put in the work, you will see good results and she will communicate your grade very clearly. She is a professor who truly cares about the subject that she teaches.

Dr. Torres forces you to think deeper.

I feel like I learned a lot in her course, but if you can get the other professor for this class then I wouldn't recommend Torres. The grading scheme is confusing and virtually non-existent, unclear projects, and very little leniency in terms of missing class (even when notified). Be prepared to go into the final with no idea what your grade is.

As a person, I love Dr. Torres. She is very knowledgeable. The grading system is awful. We have maybe 5 assignments total and we didn't get a sure grade. I didn't know my grade until the feedback that was given at the midterm and I didn't feel that it reflected my participation. She took forever to grade the assignments. Unnecessary stress
