Comment:

This was probably one of the EASIEST online classes I could ever take. Unlimited quiz attempts, easy word count discussions, but exams are all online. No final either. Just an extra credit video to add to your overall final avg. Never watched a single lecture. Seriously super easy class, nearly impossible to fail if you want my honest opinion.

Comment:

Online lectures extremely boring, she just read off PowerPoint slides and often misread them as if she had no idea what she was about to read. Extremely monotone in reading her lectures, none were over 20 minutes but I often lost focus. No partial credit on blackboard discussions, you either meet the word count or you get a zero.

Comment:

This professor does not make politics interesting to non majors. It is hard to understand the concepts if you are a hard science major. If you are looking for a fun elective, this professor should be avoided.

Attendance mandatory, tests were easy if you take good notes and pay attention. Her lectures are interesting and I highly recommend taking her! She also offered an easy video EC that adds 5 points to your overall average. Ended up with a 103 in the class. TAKE HER.

Comment:

Dr. N is funny and makes the lectures really interesting and makes you want to participate and always appreciates discussions during class. She is very smart and funny. The tests are all online and the reviews are really helpful. Probably the best professor for this subject, especially if it's not really your forte.

Comment:

Dr. Navarro is honestly one of the best professors I have had at UTSA. She is good at engaging with students, and pushing people to think critically. Tests make up a majority of the grade but she gives good study guides out before each test. I would 100% recommend this professor.

Honestly best prof for POL 1133, 3 exams that count for your whole grade, she'll give a good review and if you read the chapters also easy A+, extra credit it you come to class (she did it twice). Moderately engaging and really wants you to think critically. I really enjoyed the class interaction. Not boring at all in my opinion. Quizlet helps!

Professor Navarro is awesome! She never fails to make her students get engaged. She loves it when students participate. She gives EC if ppl leave during class. Has an EC video. She doesn't post her lectures online, so go to class. The textbook has all the answers for exams. Exams are online, but go to class b/c it's part of your grade. I love her.

Dr. Navarro is one of the best professors I've had at UTSA. Politics is hard to understand, but she makes it so easy and interesting. If you go to class, complete your quizzes and do your reviews, it's an easy A. She can't make the class any easier. I would definitely recommend her! She's also very interactive. She actually learned students' names.

Super entertaining lectures and understandable. There are short quizzes throughout the semester but based on whatever she is lecturing at the time. I highly recommend her! Tests are based on the reviews.

Comment:

Amazing professor. Lectures were entertaining and engaging. She really tells it like it is - makes you think about politics in 2017. I loved coming to class. Her tests were very easy; taken online outside of class, so you can have your notes out and book. Several Extra Credit opportunities as well. What the college experience is all about. LOVE

Comment:

I was a little nervous at first, but this class was well worth taking. The class is very interesting and I was a little nervous about her being a tough grader but she is fair. Come to class and do your work and you will be ok. I have been here for a few years and Dr. Navarro is one of my favorite profs.! I'd most certainly recommend taking her.

Comment:

This class is a requirement for me, and I was not sure if it would be interesting. Dr. Navarro seems very passionate about her teaching and loves interaction, so be prepared for that. I think she was fair, and the class was certainly nowhere near as bad as I would have expected. I would probably take her again and again if I could...

I honestly hate politics so this class was a drag but the professor made it less of a drag. She uses top hat for attendance so you should go to class. All tests are online which she gives reviews for. Weekly blackboard quizzes which consists of 5 quizzes. She isn't a bad teacher and finishes her lectures before the class let out time.

Comment:

Had Professor Navarro for Texas Politics and Society. She had four tests only, so don't mess up. The final is a combination of the previous tests. She was easy to understand and likes class participation in discussions, but you won't learn much from those, it's just entertaining. Never used the book, just quizlet reviews. She is super hot too!

I took Texas Politics with her and her lectures were interesting sometimes but there was no point in attending class. There were three online test and she gave out a review before every test. The answers to the test and review can be found in the book or online.

Comment:

If you're a politics major, take Dr. Navarro. She is extremely smart and helpful. I bombed my midterm and she gave me a second chance! Be ready to read at least 4 papers a week but most are research so you can just read the conclusion of each. Class is highly interactive and never boring. Would take her over and over again and recommend to anyone
