Reviews of professor Hector Sotomayor

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Class is long, but that's out of his control. He is clearly passionate about the subject and teaching it to others.

Awesome professor. He gives you every opportunity to succeed, especially on the midterm and final. Make sure to be on time, especially on movie days because you want to watch the whole thing and its really the only thing he's strict about. There are movies to journal as homework, but make sure to reach the word limit and you'll be fine.

Pretty chill guy. But beware- he shows some films that are R / NR and sexually explicit. So if youre uncomfortable watching full frontal nudity, take another instructor. He does show some other movies that I liked like Pans Labyrinth, and Whale Rider. Easy quizzes if you study, sometimes he gives answers before the quiz. Final 5 page paper.

Sotomayor is a good guy and cares about making sure you get a good grade. He only has 8 homework assignments which are each only 500 words. He flys through notes but you don't need to take them because his midterm and final reviews are good enough. Just try to stay awake and do the journals and you'll do fine.

Professor Sotomayor is awesome and probably the most understanding professor in this school. Attendance is 25% of grade, only two very EASY exams all year. Multiple choice and he basically tells the answers if you go to his study sessions. Only thing is do not be late, because he will not tolerate it. Super chill, lectures and films can be boring.

beware because the movies that you watch are all old and in another language, so its hard to stay awake for them. you write weekly journals on movies- the more you write the more credit you get at the end of the semester. hes cool and his exams are online

The lectures were long but thats not his fault. He tries to make class interesting with the time he is given. If you do your work you will pass with a good grade because a lot of the work is completion

Mr. Sotomayor is definitely the best professor who will make sure you do good in class. His quizzes are not that hard, but at the same time, you will be able to learn a lot about world cinema. He is very understanding and willing to push deadlines for you if you give him a good reason. I would highly recommend taking his class.

His lectures are only boring if you dont watch the films, he only yells when students ignore his requests to close their laptops, he said in the first class not to be late bc films often start right away, midterms are all 3 option multi-choice questions that are so easy if you paid attention in class. Ignore that negative review, he is phenomenal.
