Reviews of professor Marisela Barrera

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Barrera is a great educator and is active in the community. Even though the class was fully remote, she kept it engaging and interesting. Cameras on were mandatory for attendance credit but it was nice to see and interact with classmates instead of black images.

Good course layout/coursework, kinda bad lectures. Zooms often seemed like a semi-waste of time, "could have been in an email" type stuff. Attendance and cameras on are required so there was no way to get out of them.The assignments and essays were pretty well laid out and interesting. Pretty easy grader though if you try/ do the bare minimum

Professor Barrera was an excellent English lecturer for both the fall and spring semesters. She is a very kind and groovy individual with a great sense of humor. You're never bored during class since its easygoing and entertaining while she covers homework, textbook pages, and discussion board in a manner that is constructive but flexible.

For a class that's about communicating concisely and to-the-point, the writing prompts were incredibly vague. I understand this is professor Barrera's first semester teaching Technical Writing and I hope she got some good examples to use in the future so people aren't in the dark as to what you are supposed to produce.

I took Prof. Barrera during the summer and it was an 8 week course. Towards the end we were writing a paper every week, but she often extended deadlines which helped a lot. The homework was very easy and there is not a lot of reading required. She focuses a lot on essay work. She grades very fairly I just wish she gave more feedback.

Prof B. is the best! She is so cool and quirky!! Her class is easy as long as you do the work and put in the effort. She extends deadlines often. She doesn't really provide any feedback and she tends to go off topic, which can make her lectures a bit boring sometimes. However, she is very sweet and understanding. 100% recommend

I recently completed my class and loved her as a teacher! Don't come to college and think shit is gonna be easy and look for an easy A. This is college, not high school you have to work for a good grade. She gives out assignments often but it helps improve your writing skills and it gets you prepared for your next higher-level English classes.

While the work itself is not too hard, this class was such a let down. We were told we would go over six different genres but then did sci-fi for half the semester? Her instructions are very vague for writing assignments. I would only recommend this professor if you want to be asking questions the entire semester.
