Reviews of professor Karen Ruiz

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Took her for winter, I was really annoyed by how unorganized she was because some due dates were really wack. She expects everything to be perfect when doing homework videos, which takes a significant amount of time to try again. Her midterm and final are both quizzes and a video quiz/final. Her extra credit was only worth one point, not helpful.

Ms. Ruiz is a great professor, i took her winter asl 101 class and it was so fun! She helps out a lot and i learned so much. Even though she is deaf, the class was able to communicate with her easily. Its a little hard to learn this language but practice helps a lot!

She was a very difficult grader and would expect all assignments to be perfect even though it was a beginner class. Unclear on due dates and expectations for assingments. Wouldn't teach during class, and expected us to watch up to 10 videos a week before class to teach ourselves. She wouldn't respond to emails whether sent on Canvas or Gmail.

She is awesome. I had a great experience being in her ASL 001 class. Lots of fun and I learned so much. Not a tough grader. I would definitely take her class again!

Mrs. Ruiz couldve been the best teacher ever! had she included captions in her lesson. as a first time asl learner it was difficult learning based on videos that had no captions. we only met once a week so it was not enough. wouldnt recommend this class.

Ruiz is a terrific professor. She provides extra help to those who need it. It was a fun class, you won't regret it. I wish she taught ASL 2 or ASL 3!

Professor Ruiz was amazing for ASL 1. This was my first time taking an ASL class and she was great at easing me into it. She does ask that you get the book but I didn't use it at all. She will review things if you ask her to. Classes were fun and there was a lot of group activities as she likes to do breakout rooms.

She made the class fun and entertaining. Lot's of games were used as a learning strategy. Just be paying attention to whether she writes the homework on the board. Since she is deaf, I found that sometimes she would write the work on the board and I wouldn't notice so I missed homework I would not have missed otherwise. Still very recommended.

Professor Ruiz is the best. She does not provide captions or an interpreter in her videos, but she is only signing words and phrases we should already know based if previous classes. She is patient, you can ask her to repeat things many times. Her method of teaching if very beneficial and it works. Show up to the class or youll be lost!

She's amazing, definitely taking her again for ASL2. She's so easy to follow and teaches a lot about deaf culture along with the normal class material. Take her if you can!!
