Reviews of professor Beatriz Padilla

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This course is listed as a Sociology course but should NOT be listed as such. The course is definitely a course for International Studies/Political Science majors. The majority of SOC majors in the course did not understand or follow the course material. There are lots of readings/assignments given, however, the professor is a light grader.

Heavy accent but is still understandable; is friendly & somewhat kind to students; I'm not an soc major, but it opened my eyes to interntl perspectives/issues; gives few assignments/quizzes + 2 group projects; might use lack of participation/attendance against you if an issue arises; I didn't use the textbook, simply used her powerpoints & was fine

Very heavy accent and hard to understand. The material is not easy as it is, so trying to focus on the content of lectures and actually understand what she is saying was difficult. Unclear instructions on assignments with vague rubric. I don't think anyone really knew what was going on all semester. Not the worst class ever but wouldn't take again.

does not respect lecture times. we've been released up to 10 minutes late many times and its too hectic when you have back to back classes. also not very understanding as far as attendance. does not take dr's notes as a legit excuse.

I really enjoyed this professor. I thought the lectures were great and I really enjoyed the guest speakers we had come in. Really helped add to the class experience. One issue is there really isn't a clear expectation on what you should be doing for most assignments and another was how group project heavy the class was. I got stuck with a bad group
