Reviews of professor Graciela Cerezo Menegay

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Menegay knows what she is talking about, but she had a hard time articulating it. Also, she wasn't very good at gauging the class' understanding, so the majority of the class utterly failed the 3rd exam and it dropped our grades significantly. She gave extra credit to boost the class average , but I didn't learn any of that material.

Graciela is one of those people where she's super super sweet but not the best teacher. Calc one is really far below her so she assumes all her students know what they're doing and took the class in high school. Heard she's great for calc 2 though.

Linear algebra is weird at first but her lecture notes are very usful.

She understands the material but struggles to relay it. She has misgraded assignments, demeaned students, and limited opportunity for success. Each test was worth 20 points; each point worth 5% of the grade.
If you are taking her class, you are better off taking the class asynchronously with the amount of outside work you are going to need to do

Professor Menegay was really nice. She goes over examples during class and the study guides really help for tests. The class itself is tricky so things can get confusing pretty fast.

She was great for DifEQ. I never felt unprepared during a test, which is more than can be said for a few of my friends. She provided a template for notes, I just took my own because I prefer that, but having the option is nice. She does have a soft voice and a small accent. Don't skip class, DifEQ is tough. One of the best in the department though.

To be fair, I did skip several classes and didn't focus too much during lectures, so I struggled. DiffEq is difficult, so attend every lecture and make sure you understand the material! That being said, she does write really tiny on a chalkboard which can be messy and hard to read. The VT emporium is a great resource for studying and practicing.

She is a very respectful and sweet professor who cares about your success. She will meet with you outside of class and will always try to make sure that she meets with her students. Of course the class itself sucks, but as a professor she tries to make everything easier for the students. Honestly a great difEq professor. 10/10 recommend taking w hr

If you don't have a good understanding of the topics prior to class you will struggle severely
