CollegeCompletely intimidating at first, and actually sometimes mean, but she is just trying to challenge you and make you think for yourself. I felt interested and inspired by her teaching style.
A legend in her own mind.
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.
I find that she seems full of herself. Ended class about 20 minutes early one time saying because it was our fault (the students), when clearly a class ending that early shows a reflection of her. Harsh grader, interrupts students, and I have felt at times she has gave passive aggressive comments.
Although some may find her blunt and a bit intimidating at times, which she can be I personally found her to be kind. Her teaching style is firm and straightforward, especially in lectures, which can feel intense. But it's clear she genuinely cares about the subject. The class itself isn't bad at all—it's composed of three short papers.
