Reviews of professor Dora Santana

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
 My review is based on my experience asynchronous. I don't know how I got an A. There was a 100-word summary due every week, and all of the readings were boring!  Never heard anything from her since the first day of class. On the syllabus said we had a midterm and a final, but I guess she skipped it since she never posted it, oh well easy A!

This professor can be hostile when students cannot answer her questions based on the reading she provides through blackboard. Very easy to fail if you skip class especially on presentation day where it is a big chunk of your grade since she never gave quizzes nor midterms. Additionally, she also stopped assigning homework after the third one.

I would not recommend this professor although her assignments are easy, she is a tough grader. She only grades your midterm and final. She does not give comments otherwise, and once you find out your grade for the class there is no changing it. This class was not what I thought it would be, and I was very disappointed with the outcome.

I learned tons in this class and probably worked harder than I've had to in other classes, but totally worth it. She knows her material and it shows and she expects students to have read before class. If you attend class, read and turn in your assignments, you will be fine.

Took her class in the fall semester as an elective, and it was alright for the most part. She doe give readings prior to the class and she does expect you to be able to talk on it. A few papers here and there and a group presentation is what she grades you on. Overall, she's a good professor because she's passionate about what she teaches.

She provided weekly readings that you had to combine and summarize with other readings. The post on your google doc was biweekly and was based on the two weeks of readings. She graded your google doc, 2 times during the semester (midterm+final). The zoom meetings could drag out and she wasn't punctual on grading. Interesting readings & very long.

She gives a lot of readings, doesn't explain anything enough, she talks a lot, her lectures are very boring, and never hands back any work that she collects. You won't know your grade until the end of the semester.

Took this class to fulfill as a gen ed class, which was a mistake. She gives readings and asks questions no one understands. She assigned homework regularly but then stopped after the 3rd one so nobody knows how she was grading us. Lectures are really boring. 1 project was given which was messy and 1 paper at the end of the semester.

This class is easy but she only graded us twice throughout the semester (MIDTERM AND FINAL QUIZ) with barely any feedback and very vague at that. Syllabus changed a couple times through the semester. Not very accessible to students making it hard to understand if we lacked anything in our responses and connections.
