I took Dr. Lagos for an Eng 101 class during the summer and it wasn't that bad. She is very inspirational and talks about her personal life a lot. She expects respect, but is not always the type of prof. to give it back to her students. She tends to talk down to students sometimes and gets upset if you don't understand her directions. She's okay.
