SPAN175 . Bermudez S 10 Years Ago

She is very passionate about the subject matter, but expects a lot from her students. She is also pretty intimidating. Get ready to read A LOT. Everything about this class is based on the readings and you will have to do them because the midterm and finals are strictly based off of them. Would not recommend if you are not a native Spanish speaker.

SPAN175 . Bermudez S 16 Years Ago

Every class I have ever taken with her was quite challenging. She can be very intimidating and overbearing but she truly is passionate about her field. If your ideas are well founded she will respect them. She has some liberal, feminist, pov's that might rub some people the wrong way but I found her alternative views refreshing.

She does not take**** from students, she gets right to the meat of things no bull with this professor. She will kick you out if you talk when she is teaching. She will inspire you to do your best in whatever subject, she really cares about her students. REally do the readings before lecture, b/c she expects interaction with the students.

LAIS102 . Bermudez S 7 Months Ago

She's extremely passionate about what she teaches, so if you are wanting just an easy GE to take and you aren't actually interested I would not recommend this class. She gets irritated and annoyed at people who don't take the class serious. Only 3 written assignments and attendance is mandatory. Only 2 excused absences.

Professor Bermudez is a good professor, I think she gets super passionate about what she teaches and wants students to engage more and have meaningful conversations. She comes off intimidating, and will get upset if readings are not done. No midterms/final exams. Three written assignments worth 75% total. Can only have 2 excused absences.
