CollegeI 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.
Professor Venegas isn't a bad professor, but the weekly material that she chooses (3 readings and 3 films a week, plus lecture) are SO boring. This makes the class difficult when it should be interesting.
If you can avoid taking her classes do that. Lectures are boring and long, you have at least four readings each week, plus three feature-length movies, and absurd assignments with vague instructions. Save yourselves the stress.
