I took Spanish 44 with Cortinez. I would say the same as everyone else-- it's clear that she's very passionate about the material. She's helpful and very approachable. Lectures are never dull. Don't be afraid to ask questions when you don't quite get something. She'll gladly explain things to you. I took this class as a GE and would recommend it. She tell you in the beginning that she selects the best selections to read. Slides are not uploaded. Coming to lecture counts as participation and you'll want to come to class. Take good notes and you'll do well!

Spring 2016 - Professor Cortinez is great. The lectures were not overly complicated and she provided the slides and readings. The TAs were also great and discussions were all coordinated so all TAs covered similar topics. The class was easy and readings were not really necessary.

Don't let this class fool you- although the course was originally titled Film and Lit in the Spanish Speaking World, it turned into Chilean Film and Lit. Professor Cortinez has a wealth of knowledge about Chile, but tends to ramble on about her own pet projects. There's no break during the two hour class- and your grade depends entirely on the TA. The bottom line is that if you show up to class and sign in (mandatory attendance), and do a little bit of review before the final, you'll easily pass with flying colors.
