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.

The professor is disrespectful and dismissive, often using shame and harsh criticism, making students feel inadequate. Her attitude is rude and unprofessional, creating a frustrating learning environment. The course consists of three harshly graded assignments, with inconsistent grading. Overall, this class is stressful and I do not recommended.

The TA's are great and the structure of the class was fine. However, the professor was discouraging and mean the entire time. During our last class, she was asking for criticism. When students responded with real criticism for her (in a nice way), she was very mean and passive aggressive to them in front of everyone and stormed out of class.
