Reviews of professor Mary Garza

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Currently taking her class. She lectures us all the time on time management and paying attention to instructions however she never sticks to her schedule and tells us one thing and then expects another. The whole class gets confused on something and its our fault we are confused. Frustrating class to take over zoom so far.

Avoid her if possible! She is so confusing & if you ask for clarification, you'll just end up more confused than when you started. She creates PowerPoints that don't really help. Some of her test questions are based on lectures & not the book so you cant study the book for it. Tests are really tough. Multiple-choice & written answers. BEWARE!

she does not take attendance, however she does in class activities. if you message her that you are not able to go due to something before hand, she will either let you do the assignment or wont dock points for it. she wants you to read the chapters before class, so that you can participate in class, but everything is in the slides or easily found

A very understanding and knowledgeable professor, takes the time to get to know her students. Gives study guides for her exams, a few in-class activities, and at home readings. If you do happen to have difficulty, attend her office hours!!! She is very understanding and genuinely wants to see her students succeed. I would take again 10x

So kind. She truly cares about her students and wants you to succeed. She handled the COVID crisis with class and professionalism. Smoothly transitioned to Zoom classes. She enjoys teaching and it shows. Definitely recommend. She does do pop quizzes and opportunities to earn participation points which are easy. Study the powerpoints.

Be ready to discuss readings before class. There are pop quizzes and homework so attend zoom lectures. You need lock down browser for exams and there are a few guest speakers to help you land a job when you graduate.

Pretty straight forward. I didnt really use the book and went off her PPTs she does exam review, and is available for her students. There is gruyó projects of one page takes like 10-15 mins nothing big. Study and do the work you should be good.
