Reviews of professor Raisa Alvarado

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I had to take an upper division course outside of my major and I'm happy I chose Prof. Alvarado's: personally, I didn't care too much about the subject, but she was really good at making every lecture interesting and started many discussions that got the entire class involved. I wish she taught more than just communication!

She is an amazing professor! I had her for two classes. She is the best professor Dixie State's communications department has. She is respectful of students. She requires a lot of you, but helps you to succeed.

Dr. Alverado will not use kitty mittens when interacting but she provides a safe enviornment where you are free to express your views, challenge content, and actually learn. She is not concerned with memorizing the content long enough so that you can regergatate it back on a test. Shes focused on teaching material well enough for your application.

Alvarado isn't afraid to go into detail on each lecture and assignments on how she grades each assignment. If you ever take her intercultural communication class, you will never regret it.

Dr. Alvarado's class was one of my favorite classes because of the discussions she facilitated. She is excellent at asking the right questions, getting curious about her student's experiences and validating the complexities of the course content.

Dr. Alvarado is an excellent speaker, but she is also extremely skilled at managing discussions and including the entire class. I've taken multiple courses with her and she has become my favorite professor at DSU! If you're looking for a discussion based class where the text is applied to real life situations, you will love her.

Dr. Alvarado is amazing! I really didn't know what to expect from this class, but I was so glad that I took it. She is super open-minded, & the class is pretty open discussion. The midterm & final weren't too hard, they were all questions about stuff that we definitely talked about a lot in class. There is 1 group project, but it's not bad.

Overall I enjoyed this course and learned a lot. Dr. Alvarado makes you work for your grade but she seems to care a lot. Textbook is mandatory, group projects, and weekly discussion posts

Gives structured assignments and is accessible outside of class for feedback. This is an easy class as long as you complete the journal logs. There are no regularly scheduled class meetings. You only go on scheduled days.

When I first read the name of the class Gender Communications I literally rolled my eyes in front of my advisor. After a couple weeks in the class, I really learned a lot. I was always open to the LGBTQ community but this really opened it up even more to my acceptance and knowledge. Alvarado is blunt and teaches what needs to be taught. Wonderful!!
