Reviews of professor Susana Castillo-Rodriguez

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Overall I like her class. She is passionate and knowledgeable about the class. Her class could be tough since there many requirements and hw. But all of them are for you and helpful. She accommodated the class if it seemed that everyone not following the class. Go to her office hour. It is absolutely helpful. And she cares about students.

She is very picky with what she wants on her assignments. She claims to be organized on Canvas but isn't. There is homework every class and the topics we discuss are not related to the tests at all. She is a very nice person but a terrible professor.

Her teaching style is different than other professors but you will get used to it. She assigned a lot of homework but I think they improved my writing and grammar. Going her office hours also helped me a lot. She cares about the students. She sees the personal improvement of each student. Sometimes she's picky but not the worst.

Worst professor ever. This professor does not teach but lectures at you and expects you to learn spanish through powerpoints that she talks through with no practice of the actual language. I had gone to her office hours multiple times asking for help. She told me: she had no time to create practice questions, I wasn't ready to graduate, and more.

Not trying to sound mean. She is a really nice lady, but as a professor she is pretty bad. Not sure if it is her teaching style or the fact that you can't really understand her English, but she made the class way harder than it needed to be. Also the exams were different than the classwork itself which made studying difficult.

Worst professor I've ever had. We were never taught properly. Very rude/unprofessional on many occasions. When I asked for help due to certain circumstances, she refused and said to figure it out on my own. She used multiple illnesses against me towards participation, and even telling me to come to an exam with a fever, which ended up being COVID.

She was a nice professor, however, she was very unclear of her expectations were for her class and would even take points away from your overall grade for it. She is also a very tough grader and is very picky with what she wants to see. She also assigns a lot of work for this class

You learn a lot from the class but there are a ton of assignments and projects throughout the semester. Memorize in class examples and you should be prepared for tests, although you need to do well on translations as well to get a good grade. Those are not as easy to do well on.
