CollegeProfessor Diaz is a great professor who always comes to class and gives interesting lectures. The class is graded based on only a few things but you need to keep up on all the weekly readings to survive section. Attendance is part of the grade. The final is an art project that gives you lots of freedom and its fun! This class is great, so take it.
From week 1-9 Diaz-Sanchez was a good and knowledgeable professor. When the class' only TA chose to join the COLA movement Diaz-Sanchez had only one class and no sections for three weeks. Due to the coronavirus many professors cancelled or made their finals optional. Yet this professor still made her students turn in a paper and an art project.
Professor Diaz Sanches is truly amazing in the way she teaches. Her educational pedagogy revolves around having a firm understanding of multiple theories and to learn about these by having them in conversation with each other. She pushes hard to make sure her students make the connections between life and text, and, text to text.
Prof. Sanchez has probably been my favorite professor since I've been at the university. She is extremely knowledgeable and generally an amazing scholar, thinker, and teacher.
Can can be a little slow, but has extremely interesting readings! Great guest speakers and short films. Midterm is based off of readings and the final is a paper with your creative art piece. Would take another class with her again!
This class wasn't meant to be online, especially since it's about theatre, but Professor Diaz Sanchez kept it entertaining nevertheless! The entire grade is biweekly quizzes from the reading, attendance, and three different sections about a play group project (the script, the performance, and an analysis paper). Very easy class, highly recommend.
