Reviews of professor Christina Garcia

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took Prof. Garcia for SPAN 190 and I absolutely LOVED her. Even though our class was all online, she really tried to make it interesting and engaging. She has a test every one to three chapters and they aren't super hard. She has "homework" every class but it's actually helpful and doesn't take long. She is super caring and loves her classes10/10

Caring, bilingual , accessible outside of class, gives good feedback, Assigned films & readings each week. Take home mid-term essay format, easy A. Class is interesting IF you do the assigned homework. If not, you will be bored. Wants to hear students perspectives & have open discussion. Not strict at all, group assignments in class, pop-quizzes.

She's a hardworking woman who is passionate about Latin America and Caribbean studies. She likes to have pop quizzes so make sure you do ALL your readings before class. She grades on participation so make sure you engage in class and don't fall behind, you will get confused. Overall, she's a great person but a tough grader. So be careful.

She is a nice woman but I don't appreciate being treated like a child or seeing others get publicly lectured about small things. (assigned seats, not being allowed to go to the bathroom during class, even seeing a phone). I withdrew early on because it doesn't seem like she has a lot of awareness that she is teaching adults and not the first grade.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Garcia! She is such a funny and sympathetic professor and her lectures are so interesting. Her syllabus is straightforward and if you do the readings and watch the videos you will pass this class easily.

super chill and REALLY sweet. she is always willing to work with you and really cares about your success. there is a lot of participation, a lot of in-class discussions, and a lot of homework, but it helps you succeed in the class.

She is passionate about what she teaches, which makes the class interesting. You have weekly readings and some quizzes. You watch a few films which are interesting. As long as you pay attention in class and do hw you will pass! Some concepts are difficult to grasp so make sure you like learning about LA culture.

She doesn't give too many assignments other than some discussion posts here and there and some "pop quizzes"(she gives you hints that they're coming). She also assigns essays but if you pay attention in class and take notes, you will pass them. She does require a lot of readings outside of class but thoroughly goes through the readings in class.

Good Professor but you definitely need to do your own studying outside of class. Tests are what make up your grade!!!
