Reviews of professor Cristina Mancillas

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Mancillas was a great professor. She was always straight to the point and made sure we understood the assignment being given. Overall, the experience was great and I recommend her classes. I took 106 with her as well and passed with an A.

Unorganized. Unprofessional. Unclear of what she wants/expects. Hard grader and heavy homework for no reason. Rude and SUPER LATE WHEN IT COMES TO GRADING.

She was an amazing professor, very easy and very understanding when it comes to missing assignments. Just be prepared to memorize a lot, it would be good extra credit for you. You will have a lot of group work which is also fun because no one really struggles. Also get ready for fun debates and learn how to properly research.

Almost all of the speeches we did were mostly memorizing lines from poems and skits you created, either together as a group, or individually. A majority of the work assigned was unrelated and useless to public speaking. She was understanding & nice, but sometimes very vague, & would even antagonize students. Easy class, but also random at times.

Dont take her! All the ratings are true she is a terrible professor. She doesnt make it clear of what she wants & she mentions all kinds of assignments w/o even finishing what shes working on now. Super unorganized & never responds. I had COVID & she did a crappy job at communicating w me on assignments I needed to do, never helped me.

Way too much research, not enough actually improving public speaking. Most of time will be spent researching random political topics. She doesn't help anyone improve their public speaking, only grades it. Her grading system is terrible and she is very unclear with what she wants from you. She is so lenient that most of my classmates barely tried.

This teacher does not make most of the assignments clear and assigns homework every day while having 3 more assignments that you still have to do in a week and some of the assignments don't even get graded, overwhelming you with a lot of homework and this class is more information gathering and researching than actual public speaking.
