Reviews of professor Victoria Rodriguez-Operana

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Rodriguez is very nice and understanding. But if you are not a fan of group projects/work, do not take this class. The whole class revolves around a group project. Assignments basically consist of a 5-page midterm paper, a 10-page group paper/project, and two 2-page reflection papers. Not too hard, but depends on your group.

Dr. Rodriguez is a solid choice for this class! I thought the material was very interesting and she did a good job of presenting the material and making it clear. Her syllabus was a bit confusing though. This class is mainly group work with a small assignments, a presentation, and a paper. There is a midterm and weekly discussion posts.

Had DrRo for HDS122 and now 150. 150's topic changes every quarter, but DrRo is very passionate about her 150 topic. There is a lot of required reading and the class is conversation/group heavy (but in a very relaxed setting!). DrRo is really understanding, caring, and gives really good feedback!

This class revolves around group work (80% of your grade) so if you hate group work, don't take this class. Material is easy, professor is nice, it just wasn't my favorite class since I'm not a fan of group work.

She knows her stuff, making the topics easy to grasp & the lectures hold your attention. She's friendly, which makes her easily approachable. She connects with her students through class discussions on the lecture topics. At first, it seems like the class will be a ton of work, but all of it is group work, except the midterm paper but it's simple!
