She is very unorganized and would always show up to class late. The students could not undertstand her speaking. She was not helpful outside of class, i had a death in the family and she did not wnt to give me an INCOMPLETE, she gave me a fail.
She could not understand student questions in English...and she can't really speak it herself. Boring. Unorganized. You either agree with her or she says you are brain washed. Has a very narrow knowledge base. Teaches Latin America but only knows one or two countries. Did I mention she is soooo boring?
Terrible lecture, not structured, too much emphasis on detail for such a condensed class
She is by far the most one sided teacher I have met. She refuses to hear students who take a stance contrary to hers. She claimed Americans are brainwashed into thinking that the USSR was a threat during the cold war. All in all a horrible experience.
she's not boring, she's cool if you find the subject matter interesting.
Professor Mendez grades pretty hard, she expects a lot out of students and her lectures are not always clear. However, if you do ALL the reading CAREFULLY and write well, you should be fine. I would reccomend doing all the readings at least twice before you write a paper for her. She is very understanding and nice in office hours.
she is grading papers very strictly and her lectures are long and boring. she requires her students to read a lot and come prepared to class. hard to get a good grade. stay away from her!!!!
This class was extremely unclear and boring. She was also very rude to anyone who asked questions. I ended up taking it pass/no pass because it was so difficult. The essays were also graded very strict.
Lectures are incredibly boring, but she has all her outlines online which is helpful in case you fall asleep. Class was based on two 1000 word papers which were pretty easy. Teacher is enthusiastic, but generally uninteresting.
Overall a good professor. Lectures can be a bit boring at times. I would recommend her.
