Reviews of professor Geraldina Polanco

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Having this professor was difficult and outright awful. She gate keeps lecture material and does not post anything. Whether it is lectures and other forms of learning material, she believes it's her work and therefore students cannot copy. She becomes very aggressive and territorial when it comes to her work. Very hostile and unapproachable.

I think Polanco is one of the best lecturers in LBRST. She knows how to get conversation going and has unique insights, so content isn't repetitive from past classes. Tho, she can be strict with assignments (printed submissions, and does not provide slides). Accessibility could improve, but the class is fulfilling if u engage with the material.

While she definintely knows her stuff, I found that she is not the most accommodating when asked to slow down or share her lecture slides on avenue. Which of course makes it so incredibly difficult to do well in her course. As someone who takes longer to process information, I found her to be a bit difficult to work with. 3/10

really bad experience having this prof, I find her to be extremely defensive, unhelpful and unclear in terms of marking. I wish she was more passionate about having students prosper in her course, it seems like she enjoys watching them fail

I enjoy discussions with Polanco, because she likes to get students engaged in the material and she has interesting things to say. However, her reluctance to share lecture slides is baffling - it doesn't encourage half the class show up, she lectures very quickly, and it's not like her slides give away all the lecture info she talks about anways.

Amazing professor. Dr. Polanco is an engaging facilitator. She is a subject matter expert, yet she's relatable and hilarious! Awesome experience
