Comment:
I loved her class. She is clear in her expectations from the start. She does expect you to do assignments and be on time to class. I have seen some say she is tough but she really isn't. She is what you should expect when you are in the real world. Do not take it as her being hard on you, take is as she actually has high expectations from you.

Comment:
She is a very nice teacher. Some may say that she is tough but she is just very clear on her expectations. She gives quizzes all the time and they tend to be a little tough but don't fret because she is very understanding if you do not do well. On the essays, she is more than willing to help out in any way that she can. I would take her again.

Prof. Benavides is such an amazing professor. She is super passionate about literature and teaching. Stay current with all the readings and you will do fine. If you don't get the books you probably won't pass.

Comment:
She is very passionate about Mexican American Lit so you can expect her to talk a lot. She seems like a nice lady but is a very tough grader. She dedicates class time to give you feedback on your essays before turning them in but grades against what she OK's. Fun subject but not so fun professor. Passed with a B, wouldn't take again.

Prof. Benavides is one of the sweetest woman you will ever meet. Her concern for the well being of her students is genuine and as long as you are committed to doing well she will support and promote you every way she can. CAUTION TO NON-MAJORS: do not take her is you need just a GE English course. She's a grammarian. ESSAY GRADING WILL KILL YOU!

She is the worst teacher I have ever taken. She grades papers like we are grad students, and she gave us at least 8 books to read with all more than 170+ pages and she expects the books to be read within like 4 days. TBH I do not recommend you take this teacher, she think you only have one class (hers). Nice lady but grading is hard.

She is wonderful. The only people who think her class is hard/gives too much work are people who will end up dropping out of college because they can't handle it. This class is so easy if you actually try and she will help you along the way. I took two of her classes and got an A in one and a B in the other.

Goes off topic. She thinks this class is the only class we have since she gives us way too much work. Pretends to be nice and helpful but really isn't!

Prof Benavides was the best! Class time was so much fun. Its great when an instructor allows the class to run with the discussion. Its a safe place to share your opinions... because there are never wrong answers.

Comment:
Good professor. Her work requires more attention than what is needed. Papers done every week and if you enjoy hybrid classes this is for you. Quizes every class session so you are required to read the short stories no matter what. A complete time sink. I dropped the class to lessen my work load, I had high grades but suffered in other classes

For me, she is the best teacher. She changed my life. My other teachers at the Lake are easy and they get good ratings. Mrs.Benavides makes us work hard because she knows we can do it. She doesn't dumb it down. To the person who rated her so low, just study and everything will be better!!!

Lazy students just don't like her. But I am not lazy and I love her. I have learned so much from her in the two courses I have had with her. I have taken with other English instructors at the Lake. Mrs. Benavides is a real teacher. I know some students who say they hate her, but they are students who don't want to work hard.

Professor Benavides is so sweet and very helpful; all you have to do is ask. He class is easy to keep up with so long as you do the reading because there is nearly always a quiz. She does go off on a tangent sometimes but always seemed to make time to finish her lessons. :D

Very sweet, understanding. Tends to trail off into storytelling that can and should be shortened. Also, always keep up with readings because they are ALWAYS relevant in quizzes and writings. Ask and she'll, no doubt, answer. Also, MLA format & citation will get covered only once, so get it right the first time or keep studying it on your time.
