20th Century Hispanic Lit.

Never again. I don't know what the issue was with Prof. Diez-Diaz when I took her class in the Spring of '06, but she was definitley taking out her frustrations on everyone in the class. She's totally unpredictable. One minute she can be very nice, and the next minute she's insulting her student's intelligence. She once told a student in class, "it does not matter what you think". She likes things done her way and does not consider other viewpoints and possibilities. Everyone in the class dreaded having to sit through her lectures...it wasn't like we were learning anything anyway. Bottom line, don't take this class. There are plenty of wonderful teachers in the Spanish department, and Raquel isn't one of them. Although she can de very nice outside of class, her attitude towards teaching makes the classroom environment miserable. All I remember from her course was feeling relieved on the last day of classes.
