Reviews of professor Paola Rodriguez Hidalgo

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Completely crazy class for an introductory course. This course feels like we are taking a class meant for fourth year students who are ready to graduate with a degree in the science field. As some of the reviews stated below, the professor assigns too much homework and too many projects. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this professor.

Paola is one of a kind. Her teaching style is based off of a flipped classroom. While in the class, students will find this incredibly challenging, however, I walked away learning more than I have ever learned in my undergraduate career. Do the homework, go to lecture and office hours, and you'll be just fine.

The reason she has such a low score is the pandemic, which has been challenging. However, she is extremely caring and absolutely loves the subject. She really does care for the students and tries to listen to them as much as possible. This course is not easy, but if you do the work you should be alright. Overall she is a great person.

She gives out too much homework and doesn't explain things thoroughly. She expects you to learn the material on your own. She doesn't care about her students and how they might have a hard time juggling their other work along with jobs. I would not recommend her AT ALL.

No accommodations were made for the pandemic. Homework is released at inconvenient times, and even when we expressed wanting more time for valid reasons, she still said no. This class is a lot of outside work, and I mean a lot. You will spend most of your time reading and learning the material by yourself. Zoom classes are easy "zone out" classes

One of the worst professors I've ever had. Stay away from her!!! Learned nothing from the class even though her teaching style was supposed to "help students learn more". Was actually hoping to learn physics but this class taught me little. Wait for another professor to teach this class I didn't and regret it heavy.

She doesn't care about her students and gives tons of homework that we can't handle especially during this pandemic.
