Reviews of professor Gema Ortega

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Ortega is very open to spending extra time with her students if they ask for it, otherwise she will continue moving along. She assigns a LOT of readings for homework & lecture. I personally felt that her lectures and expectations were unclear most of the time. I don't think she's necessarily a bad professor but I wouldn't want to take her again

Professor Ortega is an exceptional professor who cares about her students and is ready to provide help or accommodation. Many people believe the course is challenging, but if you stay on top of reading (there is a lot!) and pay attention during lectures, you are guaranteed to succeed. Her lectures are interesting and she is passionate.

It's been such a privilege to have a class with Prof. Ortega. She is very kind and gives good feedback when it comes to your essays. There is a lot of readings to cover in the class but the wealth of knowledge that you receive is worth it. Participation is highly prioritized in the class and heavily weighted on your overall grade. Be wary.

She is a very nice lady and she is very passionate about her work. That being said, she will assign A LOT of reading. She also gave many assignments, yet took a very long time to grade them. That being said, she gave great feedback on those assignments.

Professor Ortega is very passionate with her teaching but she rambles and nothing is specified. I've taken two English classes with her and each class she has been confusing with her requirements, and work. ENG 102 requires a research paper and was by far my worst experience. Time management was little to none and she tends to push an agenda on you
