She’s the kind of professor you either LOVE or absolutely HATE. I personally DISLIKE her. She is RUDE & Condescending. And no I’m not hating, or one of those students that sits at the back of the room on Facebook, expecting to get an A. I’ve gotten A+’s in BOTH of the classes I’ve taken with her. I do the work & get the A. But besides the grading aspect, she does not know how to teach. She lectures, puts everyone to sleep & then expects people to participate after she shuts them up with rude remarks. She cuts ppl off constantly & puts people on the spot for no reason. it’s like she gets a power-high from making ppl feel like shit in her class. Unfortunately she just got tenured so UCLA will have her till she died. WACK. BTW. her book is a JOKE. I read it & I know people who say that she copied & paste other ppls work & didn’t give them credit. All the Chicana feminist at UCLA know she’s a B&%$#%& for stealing peoples work. Anywhooooo.. I don’t want to sound more rude than I already did, but if your considering taking her class, sign up & then sign up for another class so you have a back up class if you need to drop her. Get ready for the ride tho!
