Reviews of professor Janelle Rodriques

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Go to class, or else you literally fail. She fails anyone after 4 absences. Your grades will be heavily impacted by her mood, and her opinion of you. She has heavy bias and it reflects in her grading. She will give you an F if you have a controversial opinion.

I scored in the 30s on the reading and English portions of the ACT and made a 5 on AP Lit. I made mostly B's in her class. She is smart and knowledgeable, fairly casual and conversational, and helpful in office hours, but NOT a good choice if you are just getting in core classes. The grading is just ridiculous.

Ok so, this class is not easy! Oh my goodness it can make you rethink your life at times but ultimately, good class, good professor. She is not going to give you many A's and she makes your really REALLY work for good grades, but I learned a lot, and I feel as if my writing skills have significantly improved.

Absolutely awful and one of the worst classroom environments I've ever experienced. Dr. Rodriques is so condescending and bitter towards her students. She claims her classroom is a "safe space," but that couldn't be further from the truth. She questions your opinions and refuses to adhere to the US grading system. Overall miserable. DO NOT TAKE.

An absolutely miserable experience. Dr Rodriques does not inform you of her ridiculously high expectations. She told us that she does not "give A's" because our work is simply not good enough. All our assignments were due at the very end of the semester, so I had no feedback until the last month of class, so I couldn't drop even if I wanted to.

I would have dropped the class if I knew of Dr. Rodriques' ridiculous grading standards. You are only graded by a handful of assignments and they are due at the very end of the semester. She does not give A's and if you work really hard you might get a B in this class

This prof is one of the toughest graders I've ever experienced, almost no feedback on papers cuz she doesn't want to and finds it unnecessary, zero rubrics for anything, and almost always forgets to even give instructions. Required to attend if you don't it's a 5% reduction to grade. So miss a few classes and automatically you are failing. At UW

Awful. Treats you like youre idiots and grading is unfair (ex. Refused to give anyone an A on an assignment because the assignment itaelf doesnt deserve an A. 0/10: Avoid at all costs
