Comment:

Very confusing. Definitely a language barrier.Inconsistent grading, syllabus (barely existent) and has no rubric with any assignment. Means well, but can't get it across. Can come off as crass because of her language barrier.

Comment:

I don't understand what makes people dislike her so much. There really isn't much of a language barrier after two weeks with her. If you have any questions she's there to help. Yes, she has strong opinions but she's never disrespected other people's ideas. She's always very nice. She definitely deserves more credit!

Comment:

She is one of the most boring teachers you will ever meet. When you do the two observations she assigns throughout the whole semester, they take her five weeks to get back to you. She is incredibly unorganized and is almost always late to class. I learned absolutely nothing, even though I was there everyday paying attention. WORST TEACHER AWARD!

Worst teacher I've ever had. She is completely scatter-brained and you can't understand anything she says. She is useless. Do not take her!

Comment:

She is an intelligent woman and an expert in her field. The class was more about trying to think about math from a child's perspective which can be difficult for students not exposed to new math methods. If you don't observe good lessons, you'll have to do a re-write since your lessons will not have enough info for the prof.

Comment:

She IS a very nice lady and it is possible to pass her class-go to class. However, you will learn nothing. All semester, she would put up problems that cannot be done and wouldn't realize it until five minutes later...Not the brightest crayon in the box. She also tends to be very disorganized and hands assignments back late

Comment:

Susana is a very nice lady and is willing to help you if you go to see her. Her class is very easy and you can easily achieve an A by doing all the work. The class is very boring though and I don't disagree with the person who said they wanted to jump out of the window.

Comment:

OMG!! Horrible teacher...every day I wanted to kill myself when I was in her class. She has no clue what is going on and she has no clue how to teach. While she is easy you struggle the whole semester not knowing what the hell is going on. Not worth the aggravation and I did not learn one thing!! Honestly worse professor I have had here!!!!

She really is a nice lady and tries hard, but she just doesnt have a clue what is going on. Classes can be a joke, and she is hard to understand. Lesson plans are long, but homework isnt that hard.

Comment:

I thought she was great. She is really passionate about what she teaches. She was an easy grader, and she was always very helpful when I went to her with questions. It is true that she is a bit unorganized, but that is something I can live with. Work load was light, and class was fun!

Comment:

She comes from Argentina, so she speaks and acts differently than most people here on campus. However, she really is a nice person if you open up and really try in her class. She is a smart woman, she just needs to brush up on her English a bit. I started to like her more as the semester progressed.
