The best professor I had at UCSB. Patricia is a highly intelligent, kind and talented professor.

Patrícia is truly amazing. By far the sweetest, most kind, caring, thoughtful, and socially conscious professor I have ever had the pleasure of taking a class with. She got me to think about the world and various social issues in ways I had not yet thought of and introduced me into an entirely new way to watch films.

brilliant, brilliant, brilliant woman!

Super interesting class and an amazing professor. She is super sweet, brought snacks and coffee for our class. It wasn't too much of a workload either, just usually short assignments after every lecture.

I've been at UCSB for 4 years and I have never had a professor as amazing as Patrícia. She is so engaging that I never want to miss a class! She cares about her students and made me interested in a topic I never thought I'd find interesting. I'm hoping to take classes with her in the winter and spring too just because she's THAT great!

Can she please teach all my classes?

She's brilliant, creative, and passionated. The best Portuguese TA I've ever had.

I created an account so I could tell everyone just how amazing Patricia is. She taught me more than beginner level spanish, she taught me how to truly appreciate and a new language and culture. If you have Patricia as your professor you should consider yourself very lucky, she's absolutely incredible and I will genuinely miss her.

She's brilliant, a great communicator, and really makes you think. Had her class for almost two years and truly miss her 3 3 It was because of her that my colleagues and I ended up writing poetry in Portuguese. I never thought I would write poetry (in Portuguese!)... She's by far the best Professor I had.

Brilliant, super sensitive, and a very good friend. Patricia will make you fall in love with the class.

She's one of a kind. She's passionate about teaching, and genuinely cares about you, and your success in the course.

Amazing teacher, amazing friend, and amazing person overall.
