Reviews of professor Alma Flores

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Flores is an average professor if you don't do the work you will fail. She has 10 weekly reflections (2 pages each double spaced), one midterm on a book, small group presentations of the readings (no one reads tbh but she doesn't care). The final was a take home and she gave us until midnight to submit it online. Easy class just do the assignments.

She is terrible at grading papers on time. I did not know if I should write more or is it enough on the reflections. After finishing 6 reflections, she finally graded them saying I needed to write more and so she started docking my points. Basically, I was getting docked for her laziness.

Weekly reflections on readings and 3 essays. Readings arent difficult and are actually really interesting. Splits the class up into groups at the start of each class for group discussion on the readings, various activities, and some direct lecturing. If you read the articles its not hard to get an A. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing professor who is very understanding. The readings are interesting and attending every class it not bad at all. Reading reflections are engaging and listening to a podcast for the midterm was cool. Great to have a professor who is so passionate on teaching about the challenges Latinos face in education!

Professor Flores is amazing and passionate in her teachings. She ensures the classroom is a safe and welcoming space for all. A reading is assigned every week along with a 1 page reflection paper, there are 10 reflections in total. The class is easy, interactive, and Professor Flores is just great. Show up and do the work and you'll be good!

Her grading system is different from the campus' and my final multiple was 0.5 percent away from a higher grade, but she did not give it to me. Good luck to anyone that will be taking her class. Expect a few pop quiz/reflection writing first thing when class start.

She is really nice, however her grading for essays is very strict so passing this class is not easy because you have to work hard for a good grade.

Wished Prof practiced what she teaches. Has a very one sided view of cultural issues. Course material could be less not so leaning one way. Would be good to have every groups perspective not just one or two groups in curriculum material. Prof. not in touch with real educational and society issues. Narrow lens.
