Reviews of professor Raquel Sotomayor

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She is very interesting and innovative in the presentation of the classes. I like the interactivity that develops during the presentation of the topics. Sh offers a lot of information and expects effort and commitment from the students. I have learned a lot and I want to express my appreciation for the new vision of the history of America.

Her discussion posts are extremely difficult to pass. All information is not found in the textbook or in any of the other provided readings. She has a tendency to grade based on her personal opinion. She does not grade consistently.

im sorry i let myself be fooled by these great comments saying she was a good teacher. she is very nice and I can tell she loves teaching history, but no. she doesn't go over half of the powerpoints she assigns and adds topics you never talked about in quizzes. cried multiple times

I love her dynamism. She includes a lot of material, but it is very enlightening and inspiring. I have learned more than I expected and especially from a new perspective. I recommend her classes if you want to learn.

She is a very knowledgeable and caring professor, but she is awful when it comes to grading. At first, I thought I was the only person who was making 70's on her discussion questions, yet after speaking with many others in my class, I'm not alone. It's almost as if she automatically clicks "70" when you turn in your assignments.

I would NEVER take her again. Assignments weren't very hard but everything is graded so harshly. I am usually a good student and trust me when I say DO NOT TAKE her class. Her final was a 14 page paper... and I am not even a history major!

She makes you think about the events of the history and for that, she expects intervention from the students. It was difficult for me at first, but I learned to appreciate her effort in helping us think objectively and critically. I have learned a lot and I recommend the class, but you must be willing to study.

The interaction with students and the dynamic in the class is impressive. I don't know when the time has passed. I love the pedagogical system and even more so the content.

I like her classes. The form of presentation is very interesting and promotes the participation of students. It should be studied, but it's worth it. I have learned a lot.

She has a very thick accent to the extent that you can not understand the question she is asking. When you do not know the answer and she calls on you she not only makes you feel incompetent but a fool in front of your peers. She does not care for you as a person she won't even care to learn your name. She gives no feedback. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.
