Reviews of professor Paola Rodriguez Hidalgo

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Taking this class during COVID-19 and she hasn't done anything to accommodate with what's going on with the pandemic. She gives a lot of homework and only releases them at the end of the second lecture of the week. We've told her to ease up on the homework and she only told us to manage our time better, DURING A PANDEMIC. It's not worth it trust me

Dumbest teacher I've ever taken. Doesn't know how to teach and makes the whole class about group work and won't give you your points if you don't work with other people. Don't ever take her. She should honestly get fired from teaching.

As a physics major, she is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She is deeply passionate about the subject and will do her best to help the class to succeed. She does have higher expectations for her class then most professors, which translates to more pre-class preparation in order to get the most out of her lectures.

Her class is heavily relies on you reading the material prior to coming to class. Her office hours are extremely helpful and she will always try to use different explanations to ensure your understanding. She's pretty stuck in her ways of doing things and isn't that open for change, but do everything she assigns and you will succeed in the class.

One of my favorite professors ever! She is super passionate about what she teaches and cares the students understand the subject at hand. If you care about the classes she teaches spend some time in the office hours she gives you will be amazed how much she cares and explains.

Absolutely Abhorrent. Constantly rude, ultra strict, and does not respect her students. She wants you to fail. I got the top grade in the class last quarter and it was only a B+.

She is very clear about what you are expected to know, and she gives rubrics for homework that tell you exactly what she is looking for. She is so passionate about the subject and is also very funny and approachable. Best part, you actually LEARN in her class. The group work is extremely helpful in understanding the material.

Cons: Failed to adapt teaching styles with students feedback; Need to make effort to modify talking speed and ways of explaining to aim for better lecture quality; Homework and exams questions: not worded in a clear fashion; Grading comments confusing and not helpful; Pros: Make you think of the reason to use an equation; Nicereading assignments

One of the worst Professors I've had.

And the class was terribly unorganized, strenuous in its virtual interface. This class would have been fine with one textbook. This class was all over the place. 

Worst class I've had at UW Bothell and it was the only class I had to pay for, unfortunately. Still loved the subject matter, nevertheless.
