Reviews of professor Cristina Escobar

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Such a great person! Makes it feel like you're her grandchild. She is extremely knowledgeable but sometimes to a fault. You can't always be too sure what the tests/quizzes are about unless you talk with her personally. Plus, no study guides. On the plus side, you don't have to participate much unless she calls on you which is very rare.

She is a sweet lady but she doesn't realize her course is GenEd. The reading was about 15 pages a week. We had 3 reading quizzes, 3 tests, and 2 (3 pages long) papers. It was the toughest course this semester, and I am not even connected to this field! Don't take her if you want to concentrate on your major.

I love Cristina! This is my 2nd time taking her and she makes you feel like you're her grandchild. Such a sweet lady. She has a slight accent but it doesn't matter at all. You will have to read and take notes and answer questions but just set aside an hour twice a week and you'll be fine. The readings are interesting! Pls take her, she is the best!

Overall, Prof Escobar is a good person and cares a lot about social issues, her accent is a bit hard to understand but she covers a lot of material and expects you to know it like the back of your hand, her grading is based rigidly on the material and wants to see you demonstrate what she lectures about.
