Reviews of professor Montse Toribio-Perez

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Disappointing and disorganized. Her slides were unnecessarily difficult to read (both in style and content) and we barely had a syllabus. Never responded to any of my emails until I addressed her in class.

This class had no solid syllabus or structure and Montse did not provide flexibility regarding this. If you participate in class she will like you, she grades the tests very hard. Would not recommend taking a class of hers.

Our class had no solid syllabus until the end of the semester. Throughout the course she would say that we would only get a B if we did everything for the class and we would have to do extra to get an A, but she only provided us with a single opportunity for extra credit. Sometimes she would only post homework the night before class.

The previous student's answer pretty much sums it up. I got a good grade in this class, but she rarely answered my emails and I almost never knew how I was doing in the class. Save yourself a bad semester and take a class with any of the other professors who are all amazing!

Professor Monste made not only me, but a fellow classmate cry due to her inability to communicate with students appropriately. Teachers should at least be empathetic to upset students. Tried to communicate, she only responded after being prompted by admins or much too late. Such unnecessary emotional distress and never said sorry.

I took the Cross-Cultural Encounters FYE and oh my god, was it a mess. The first readings are esoteric, and Montse doesn't make them any easier to understand. I wrote an 8-page essay on transculturality and have no idea what it is. You don't actually have to read anything after the fifth-ish week, just make a "deep" comment and you'll get an A.

First of all, do not even try to email her. I must've emailed her 20 times and never got an answer. She canceled class a lot but still made us show up for the TA, who showed us pictures of her in different places and played music the whole time. We also had to do so much work for this class, like hours worth, and she never ended up grading it.
