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.

Hated this class so much. So unorganized. You never knew what was due and when it was due. There were big group projects. She was also kinda mean sometimes. Would not recommend at all.

SO DISORGANIZED the class itself isn't terribly difficult but she makes it unbearable at times and so unenjoyable especially when things are online

Professor Herrera Poot is a very kind and vibrant person, but she can be very confusing with the work. My advice is to read what she assigns and pay attention to the title, the author, and what indigenous language was used, for the midterm. Also, do your best work on the map she assigns because she has high expectations.

She seems nice at first, but actions speak louder than words. Read between the lines if you decide to take her class. Read, read, and read.

One of the absolute worst professors I've ever had. She is so unbelievably unorganized and makes it so difficult to understand what's happening in the class. As one of the only non-native Spanish speakers in the class, I felt completely ostracized and left in the dark for the majority of the course.

Extremely knowledgable professor. She definitely knows what she is talking about. I have to admit, her class is disorganized and at the end she goes a little over board with the projects, but she isn't a tough grader. She assings long reading but she goes over them in class. Go to office hours if you are lost, she is extremely helpful!

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.

Probably the most confusing and unorganized professor ever! Sara is a wonderful person and willing to help students get the best grade possible, but you never know what is due, when it's due and the assignments never make any sense! She prefers giving creative assignments so that's a plus I guess. But has high expectations of students.

She is a very intelligent woman and she knows her material very well. I did not particularly like how energetic she was but i must admit that she is also a very funny professor. She is also a very helpful professor and is always willing to help.

Sara is caring and a very helpful professor even though the class has no structure if you read all the texts her midterms are easy. If you are interested in colonial literature I highly recommend her she is amazing
