Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss iykyn
She may have been a little harsh in the past but I think she did it because she cares for her students and wants the best for us. She is so much more accommodating now and quite honestly really funny. I have never met a more compassionate professor. That is why I have taken over 7 different courses with her. Don't listen to bad reviews.
She would gaslight her students. Did not explain the material being taught and would assign excess materials to go over. If students would ask questions she would get upset they did not already know the answer. It was not a safe environment to learn in. Overall, the courses consisted of 3 group projects.
Unnecessary work made this class fast-paced. Movie, readings and practice to do before Tuesday every week that wouldn't tie to anything, and tests combined into group projects. Important group projects, hard to get a good grade unless the project was pretty and everyone put in a lot of work. Gaucho Space was highly emphasized but hard to navigate.
Took this class and learned so much that I have been able to apply what I learned to other courses for the Spanish major. Very accommodating but you need to communicate with her if not she won't be able to help you. Textbooks and novels are used in class but you can find them for free online. Section for this class is super helpful!
S20. Amongst the circumstances of the quarter, Profesora Gonzales-Smith was very accommodating. She shortened her lectures after a few weeks, made sure to give us longer windows for the midterms, and was very accessible to us. She's funny, witty, lots of personality! She is very direct, though. Go to her to get clarifications! Readings a must.
Professor Myriam was amazing, her class is pretty hard but I learned so much. As long as you show you are making an effort she will notice! If you are having a hard time she is always accessible in office hours etc. Also get to know her! shes funny
Too much work assigned for a GE class with very specific instructions. Expects full time dedication to the class, not considering the circumstances we are living in. Caring professor but it's not worth the amount of work, stress, and requirements for a GE. Would not recommend.
Winter 2020 / Professor Myriam was somewhat disorganized, and the prompts for writing assignments and group projects were confusing, but she was very accessible through email and office hours to clarify. The exams were straightforward and directly covered the topics she outlines. Don't underestimate the work and take it serious, she notices!
Prof. Myriam is amazing. Her class can be challenging at times but I learned so much. She requires participation in class and for students to take the class seriously. She is always available if you need more help with assignments since she's pretty strict with her guidelines. Work hard and she will notice. Get to know her- very funny!
Great professor, would definitely recommend taking her courses.
She gave me a D after I thought I was going to pass. I felt like she gave me that grade on purpose. She's really rude in class and favoritism amongst her students . There needs to be a different teacher for this class because she is definitely not for the culture.
