Reviews of professor Merlin Ural Rivera

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She's a great teacher and helped me to improve my writing skills significantly. You'll do well if you do the readings and put effort into assignments. Her assignments and lectures are thought-provoking and interesting. She lets you express yourself a lot and shows really great films/videos to supplement discussions. I love her teaching style!

If you're good at writing you'll have no problem with her classes. I've taken two classes with her. A lot of the assignments she gives can be revised. Do the readings and be ready to be tested on them in class every once in a while. Participation is definitely important.

literally loved her, prepare for a lot of reading but other than that the class was easy.

Do not take her class, heavy homework, in-class writtings, numerous paper, big exams. She also pushes you to speak and your performance will be reflected in your grade. I learn nothing except stuck in a deep mire about self-doubt. Never take her class again, it is my WORSE experience in SVA ever!
