I had Ms. Carrillo for an Intro to Fiction Writing class ages ago at Michigan State, and I can honesly say that she is probably the major reason I write today (I'm published, but mostly just write becaus I learned to love it).

Comment:
I had her for the "Latinos and the American Dream" FWS. She was nice but offered plenty of constructive criticism and expected her students to progress. Also, she offered extra conferences outside of the requirement, and I definitely became a better writer as a result of her help. The readings covered a wide range of current Latino writers.

Comment:
I had high expectations but was a little disappointed. Not by the professor, who was good, but by the material. The readings included about 6 novels, and they were all the same: sad Lifetime-Original-Movie portrayals of life as a Latina. The same ideas over and over. She teaches well, but she should assign better readings.
