Reviews of professor Lisa Hurtado

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I had Hurtado for ENGL 101 and took her again for ENGL 102. It is pretty simple, you will get back what you put in. She is not the type to reach out and hold your hand. She cares when you care and will give you good feedback when enough effort is put in. I would take her again.

This is by far the worst teacher that I have ever had. Assignments might as well be essays because they are all atleast two pages long. Her grading is horrible and dosent give you any feedback on how to fix your work for next time. She just tells you its wrong.

She is very good at presenting the facts of her expectations, no argument there, very clear, but the grading is often a place where she can get picky. The amount of effort that you put into the class is basically the kind of grade that you are most likely to get. Would take her again because I would know what to prepare myself for.

I thought she was clear as to what she is looking for in assignments. The homework load is not terrible, there are 3 papers you work on throughout the quarter, 3-4 chapters that I had to read, reading for how to format  papers, and a couple power point presentations that you have to read. She reply's quickly to your emails as well.

Professor Hurtado created a fantastic class and put together a wide range of media for students to learn from. She gave direct and thorough grading criteria, and following them made the class very passable.  She gave direct and personal feedback that was encouraging yet helpful for improvement moving forward.  She is the best professor I've had!

She wasn't very kind and wasn't very helpful when questions where asked.

She is very particular but if you read the materials and her directions clearly everything should be fine.
