SPAN138 . Poot-Herrera 9 Months Ago

Her classes are great to attend if you genuinely care about what's being taught. Her classes take me back to when I was a student in Mx. because of the size of the classroom and the opportunities to interact with other students (in Spanish especially)

By far one of the most engaging Spanish Literature professors. She knows what she's teaching, so she might come off wrong, but she just has high expectations for everyone in the class. confused? ASK! she'll literally tell you what she wants/expects from you.

Literally the worst professor I've ever had. Lectures and assignments disorganized and pointless. Often says one thing in office hours and another in class. Belittles students and makes it seem like she's doing you a huge favor by giving you credit for an assignment or reading you actually did. Pretentious but very little literary insight. AVOID.

Prof. Poot-Herrera is an amazing person. She doesnt assign any books, just a reader with short cuentos and the class is based on a group project. THE ONLY BAd thing about he is that SHES SO HARD TO FOLLOW SOMETIMES. she writes all over the place! very unorganized at times.

Hated the class, super unorganized, would always say presenting your work was voluntary but if you didn't present to the class she would just assume you didn't do the work. Goes on lots of tangents, no clear deadlines or instructions for the assignments she assigns on the spot.
