It's all true. The worst professor I have had the misfortune of meeting my entire academic career. Rude, belittling, and just neurotically insane to be honest. She yells at and scolds the class daily about effort yet literally did not even lecture once. On the final class she stormed out after mocking students in response to feedback on the course.

When we asked for help in this class, the professor rudely criticized us for wanting it and shamed us for not knowing better. The class itself was pretty difficult because there were no rubrics to their high expectations, but the TAs eventually helped us. Overall, the professor makes the class very unlikable and makes you want to stay home.

I genuinely enjoyed the subject but the professor is TERRIBLE. Silvia is very rude and dismissive to everyone. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. Honestly lacks social skills cause she undermines everyone and believes she is is above everyone. Overall class wasn't bad but just the professor. I enjoyed talking with TA's and attending office hours

Other than belittling her students professor Bermudez adds nothing to this course by far the most unwelcoming professor I've ever come across. Lacks the ability to take criticism and when given suggestions by students her only response was to tell them how their suggestions are all wrong.

extremely difficult and very rude. She grades tough but that's fine. However, she will ask you to speak up multiple times if you try to participate. at the end of the year, she asked us for feedback on the class. For every piece of constructive criticism, she proceeded to shoot everyone down and turned the criticism on us instead.

The class has great content, and I loved learning about Latin American and Indigenous history. However, the professor's teaching style is unwelcoming. She belittles students. The grading is terrible; I'm a straight-A student, and getting a B in this class brought my GPA down. No matter how many office hours I attended, it didn't help.
