Reviews of professor Isabel Amarante

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I wouldn't recommend taking this class if you want an easy A. She assigns A LOT of reading throughout the semester. There's 2 short response papers, a short midterm, final presentation + 10 pg final essay. However, she's a hard grader & attendance/participation counts. She talks the ENTIRE time & lets the class out much later than actual end time.

Prof Almarante is a great teacher, yes most of her classes are lectures. So mostly she just talks, but is interesting and you dont really have to participate. Just show up, do your 5 assignments throughout the semester, take notes and you will pass. It might seem like a lot but honestly is a light class. (Ps: She has fun trips)

Disrespectful towards students, talks down upon Lehman students said they come here because they're "broke." Makes negative comments whenever one of her students leave the room to use the bathroom or answer an important call. She is very hard headed and stuck up, thinks the world revolves around her. Also goes by another name, Maria Hernandez.

If you want a light class, dont take her, just dont. She talks ALOT so this class is a LECTURE Class. You dont really have to participate, but since is a womens studies class girls are encouraged the most to. She sends emails throughout the week on what to read, and trust me when I say you going to get so much reading.

Shes extremely rude and makes an interesting topic the worst hour and 15 mins ever. No exaggeration on the rude. She will speak to you like a child even if theyre are 50 year old women in your class. Definitely wouldnt recommend her if you have self respect. Wouldve rated her 0 if I could

This professor is extremely disrespectful to the point where she talks down to her students. She will talk OVER you but you are not allow to talk back.  She is entirely inconsiderate and demeaning. SAVE yourself for the stress and DON'T take the course. I'm warming you, lots of work and a very rude person.

Professor Amarante is really passionate about her teaching. She is a good lecturer. But she does expect people to participate and when we do, she'll talk over us and ends up digressing. I didnt mind her at all. I found her class to be interesting and I learned many things but I could see how she can come across as disrespectful.

This professor is extremely disrespectful to the point where she talks down to her students. She is so lecture heavy that despite grilling us for participation, she will talk OVER us and not allow us TO participate whatsoever. She is entirely inconsiderate and demeaning. PLEASE do not take her course.
