Horrible Professor, Failed 80% of the class at the mid term and then gave a worthlessly easy final, that devauled the overall grade of class, so happy its over with. Horrible lectures that seem to go no where, films are okay, but the readings are all thats on the test.

I think Professor Venegas is really sweet & enjoys what she teaches. It could feel very broad, but I don't think I ever felt like I was completely stuck in class. It's not my learning style, but overall my class seemed to vibe with her. if you take her, being someone who can memorize verbal lectures well or type notes fast might help you succeed.

Ok. I definitely agree with the other reviews here that Professor Venegas's lectures are very broad, skip over key content, and do not guide her students to success. I wanted to come here to give her some credit. Since the TA strike, she has cancelled her final paper and extended our research paper deadline by almost a week. Very thoughtful of her.

Some of her choices were pretty lackluster and she missed a lot of major players in the New Wave movement. Lectures are long and not related to assignments but do provide background on a film's significance. However, she doesn't respect her students and changed her attendance policy halfway through. Quite unhelpful and lowkey rude but she's ok ig.

I really wanted to give this class a chance, but I just could not bring myself to like it. The attendance policy changed about mid-way through the quarter without warning. Lectures were disconnected from midterms and finals. So many grammatical errors in lectures and exams. Exam questions confusing. Still do not understand the purpose of the class.

Professor venegas couldnt care less about her students. She was so rude to all of us, sending really harsh emails, and not caring if we were struggling. All of her test s were confusing, riddled with grammatical errors, and not fair for what we had covered in the course.
