Very Strict
She is great. She explains everything and is clear. She gives alot of work but its not hard if you apply yourself. She is extremely helpful and really prepares you for the next level. I loved her class even though it wasnt a breeze. She pretty leinient but you'll still learn.
Strict
STAY AWAY BY ALL MEANS NECCESARY YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!
This professor is a unique professor. when you desire a professor who will sit and explain to you where you go wrong on a paper, then this is the professor you should choose. She's a well prepared and loving person. her classes are always interesting. She too is a star.
A lot homework
The class was very interesting, Ms. Perez is very helpful and she makes the class interesting. As long as you study you will pass. She goes over essays very well, and actually gives you advice on how to write a very good essay. She is great!!
She is strict and I dont like her!! please avoid getting her.
Gives way too much "busy work". She knows her stuff but figures that her class is the only one that you take... She ensured however that essays were structured well and helped in some areas of grammar ..overall she is not too bad just she needs to reduce the unecessary homework....
Although it is very hard to get a failing grade in her class, it is just as hard to get an A as well. Expect to rewrite your papers more than once & expect her to keep finding more errors each time, instead of finding all the errors the first time. But the classwork is pretty easy, its just the papers that are hectic.
This class is very hard. You get a lot of homework and very very hard test. So just be advised of this before you take this class.
Extremely hard to please and to find out what she wants at the beginning. But go to her during her office hours, she is extremely helpful!!! LEARN A LOT!!!! Don’t be mad that you did not get A b/c probably won’t. This class, you have dedicate time and effort but its so worth it!!!
She is great once you get used to her style. She is a very strict grader but the good thing is that she lets you corect your mistakes, so expect to rewrite your papers 2,3,4, and even 5 times. It is not impossible to get an A but its pretty hard. My advice is to attend all the extra credit opportunities she gives you (which are alot)
SHES A VERY GOOD PROF. EXPLAINED EVERYTHING VERY WELL AND GAVE YOU CHANCES TO GET A GOOD GRADE.
She is one of the best professor i've had. I did not get an A on her class but I did learned A LOT! She will be always there if you want help with anything, the more you ask her the more she helps you. Gives a lot of homework that sometimes do not even collect but they are good for practice. Her classes are not boring at all, she is very enthusiast
shes a good teacher that gives alot of small writing assignments, nothing to long.
this prof. is a very good prof. that really knows how to teach, plus she give you enough chances to get a good grade on her class. if you are looking for a good prof. take her class it would be worth it.
This teacher is very good!!! It may be a little boring, but once you start to participate it will get interesting. The quizes are so easy and she makes you write a lot of drafts for essays to give you plenty of chances before she gives you a final grade...i got an A and was in ENC1101
She is a sweetheart. She makes the extra effort to make sure you understand all her assignments and if you need to make up a test she'll make arrangements with you. She cares for her students a rare quality at Dade. Take her!
dont take her she gives to much homework
She should quit while she is ahead.
If you want to learn writing a good essay, or if you can take the challenge doing research and homework, she is the one for you. Fast pace, , energetic, effcient, effective, passionate and loving is her nature. Come to her class prepared and work hard right at the beginning you will succeed. Good Luck.
I just finished this course and she is definately a good teacher, however very firm at grading. Be ready for a research paper with a powerpoint presentation. Overall not a breeze but you will learn how to be a better writer. I got a B-.
She is extremly good at what she does! Her work is challenging. Her tests are challenging, but if you study, you will succeed! If you want a challenge that is fun and that you can learn alot from, get her, she is really sweet as well! awesomw professor!!
The first good English teacher I've in a long time. She explains everything clearly and makes the class interesting. Her assignments are not hard as long as you pay attention in class. She gives you opportunities to re write your essays. I would definitely recommend her, you will learn alot!!!
Ok, you need to pay attention in class she tends to crack the whip. But if you?re on top of your game you should be straight. She is extremely nice and understandable. The Bibliography Cards will take forever so once she assigned it get to it!
She doesn't answer emails. She is very disorganized and that is something I truly do not like. She does not keep you up to date with how you are doing in her class. She takes forever to grade papers; once she does she gives extra time to rewrite the essay if she ever get to grade it. She misses class A LOT and does not let you know ahead of time!
Prof. Perez-Mirabal seemed as a very good prof. at the begining of the semester, but turned out to be the opposite. She is too involved with school activities which take away most of her time to teach. She is very respectful and she is always willing to help, but her class is boring and pointless. I did not learn anything except for citing sources
I had this professor for ENC1101 and that's why I decided to pick her for ENC1102. I have learned a lot but I was disappointed because she was absent a lot although she probably had good reasons. I was expecting more from her because although she is a strict grader she is also smart and helpful. Her class is not easy but it is not impossible. Don't
Great Professor...It is not a breeze, but well worth it because you actually learn...I recommend her if you aren't lazy...She also gives extra credit opportunities.
Great Class. Great teacher. Good looking too!!
i took her for ENC1101 DONT PICK her the worst teacher ever you have to do everything your own
GREAT TEACHERRR
I took Professor Perez-Mirabal for both 1101 and 1102. She was extremely helpful and works had for the students to learn. The class is not easy, but I'm grateful for it. I would recommend her to anybody!!!
I love her! She is amazing at what she does. Great teacher and I will always be thankful.
Very likable, lots of work... a little issue with time management in the assignments. you will learn to write an essay... essential to complete your degree!
She is truly awesome! I love her soooo much because of how much she helped me through out the course. I took 1101 and 1102 with her and I literally learned to write essays thanks to her. She is a sweetheart and just don't be LAZY!!!!
Very unfair when it comesto grading. She dissappeared for a WHOLE month and the class basically was shut down for that time but she came back with tons of work an expected us to get it all done in a week!!! took about 2 weeks to respond to emails, post or questions. I will never choose her as a teacher agaaaain!!
You have to be a very self motivated person to pass this class, thank god I was because everything these people are saying is true, but, you will learn a lot from her, when she's there. :-)
this is my first time rating a prof, and i can tell u that shes super nice and funny. The only bad thing is that she gives out way to much hw. I think she thinks she is the only class students are taking.
She's really a wonderful Professor Very very helpful. She does give lots of work but not so much you can't keep up with. You definitively have to be motivated and work 100% of the time this isn't a slack class but it is a great class. She brought us candy for halloween and plays music before class. Always willing to meet with you afterclass too
Nice teacher, she knows how to explain the material, and makes the class interesting. HOWEVER she is very disorganised, gives a lot of homework and what I hate the most, takes forever to grade them. The semester is almost over and I have no idea how I am doing in the class because I haven't received any grade yet... I regret having chosen her.
Loved her! she gives alot of homework but just do them and you'll do good. I passed with an A. just read and participate and she'll make the class enjoyable. I learned alot about the structure of essays.
She is awsome, she is very nice and comprehensive. Her test are easy. She gives enough time before your essays are done and she lets u turn in drafts and gives you feedback before the final draft is due =)
Great professor. She's sometimes absent to class, but her personality and drive to teach makes up for it. Love how the start of every class is greeted by music of choice by classroom.
Great professor! there is a lot of work thought, and a 10 pg research paper, grades a little harshly on essays but she is very sweet and helpful.She also waits until the very last minute to grade things It is not an easy A but I defitnely recommend her!
Good professor. Gives ALOT of homework and takes forever to grade it. Sweet personality, whiling to help and open to suggestions.
Easy going teacher. She gives a lot of work but it's not hard work. Pretty fair on grading and very helpful. She likes interation with students, there's a few group assignments and a presentation of a 10 page paper. She tries to make everyone feel comfortble but if your a shy person this may be a problem. Overall great class and a great teacher.
Good professor, straight-forward essay assignments with plenty of time to do. She does miss class frequently, however.
I am enjoying the class and Ms. Perez answers my questions for the most part.
Lots of Long essays. Grades harshly. Takes too long to grade. Last 8 assignments were not graded at the end of the term, she was so behind. Hard to determine how you are doing if the grades are not available. The work is long, sometimes 3 assignments a week. Doesn't respond to email. No extra credit.No Midterm or Final when I took it last Fall.
This is the first time I did not use Rate my Professor, and to be honest I did not know what to expect for this class. To my surprise Prof. Perez was extremely helpful! Assignments were easy to understand and she did not grade harshly. We read a couple of books wrote some papers, and it all very easy. Highly Recommended! Easy A.
Great professor!! A lot of work but is all worthy. She is fair grading and extremely helpful.
She is an Excellent Professor!
I took her class online, there was a lot of work to do, but it was very easy, she drops the lowest grades at the end, so I ended up with an A, I'm horrible at writing, but she doesn't grade harsh at all! If you want an easy A, either take her online or in class you won't drop her class for sure :)
Super nice and very helpful. Definitely recommend taking this teacher.
WOW! By far my favorite professor, you learn so much in this class and she really does prepare you and make you an excellent writer!
She really is one of a kind. She will make you work but its nothing that you can't do. If you find yourself stuck somewhere do NOT be afraid to ask for help. She will try to help you until the very end. She really does go above and beyond. I would take her in any class she has to offer. She really is amazing
AMAZING professor, I took her for both of the required english composition classes. She's lenient and very understanding. She's the type that likes to discuss topics and keeps class interesting. She gives work but it isn't LOADS of it. Most times the topics we wrote essays for were interesting and modern & we were given a lot of room for opinion.
GREAT PROFESSOR! She tries to make the class fun. I took her for enc 1101 and 1102. She explains everything clearly and really helps you with your writing. Just do your hw and put effort in your papers. Few pop quizzes so read when she says to!
This professor is amazing! I took her for ENC1101 and decided to take her for this course because she is great at teaching and super easy. The class is not hard and she is great at helping you out if you have any questions.
THIS PROFESSOR HAD TO BE ONE OF MY WORST. i don't know what anyway else is saying, but she was horrible!! almost every single class, there was a pop quiz, and even if you got an A or B, those test grades are worth 5% of your grade. the papers were worth 50% of your grade and if she didn't like the way you wrote it, shell give you a ZERO!
Blackboard makes it a little confusing. Make sure you keep up with everything and definitely ask her if you have a question, she'll usually clear things up and fix any issues with blackboard. Overall not too bad (:
She doesn't answer emails. This professor should be one of the worst professors at MDC. It doesn't matter if you participate in every single forum. It will only be 5% of your grade, even if you get 100% in each one. The 3 main essays she consider for the 30% of the total grade, she would give the lowest grades possible.
She will literally sit with you and discuss papers with you give out true and false reading checks so do the reading also follows the syllabus to the key
She is amazing!! I was able to make up work I missed. She cares about her students. Take her!
Great Professor. She grades the assignments fairly. Just do the work and you will pass the class with no trouble.
Mrs. Perez-Mirabal is seriously amazing. It is almost impossible to not pass the class with an A. She does not give too much work, & always gives back great feedback. If you put in the work, you will pass with a very high grade. I wish I could take her again. Seriously, if you're doing the virtual college, TAKE HER! You can thank me later ;)
I took her for enc1101 and enc 1102 . she an amazing professor.
Awesome teacher, super easy to talk to, loves class participation. Quizzes almost every class on homework material which is reading. Quizzes are super easy if you read or use common sense, you'll pass them. You do have a couple of writing assignments but are easy, late work is acceptable. Really understanding and encouraging.
she really grades work really late, rent the book and read the assignments she gives you from the syllabus guide. Every quiz on the assignments you have read. You will be reading a novel at home and a quizes on 4 section of the book. Ur grade will be 50% of the essays. Our research paper was a group thing. First time she said this happen for her.
Love her so much! Her class teaches you to admire and appreciate life more tbh. she is super cute and funny. she actually cares about her students and makes the class engaging! always read and do her assignments, short quizzes almost every class (super easy) and 2 essays plus a project (not a tough grader)
For my first online class, it wasn't so bad. She'll let you turn things in a little late because she's understanding. Responds to emails within 48 hours or less as promised. Easy assignments, just don't forget or be lazy.
The fall semester is not over but so far she is an amazing english professor. However, since the first day of class she has been pushing her political views on her students and bashing the opposing candidate. I don't believe this is right for a professor to do. She should be more neutral in the classroom and allow us to make our own opinions.
i enjoyed this professor. this class was pretty simple and work weekly but it was easy to keep up with. i just dont like how she takes soooo long to respond to emails. sometimes she doesnt even answer them. from time to time her grading is a bit messy too.
It was one of the easiest classes I have ever taken! As long as you stay on course and complete the assignments you should be fine. There is 1 proctored midterm, 1 essay, 1 research paper, visual assignment, and video assignment. Also weekly quiz and discussion. Like any standard online course you need to do work, but overall great course.
Such a nice professor! She gives you many chances to make up work if you are not content with your grade and is very caring! She also teaches very well.
She is very caring and will give you plenty of opportunities to improve your grade if you are not happy. She gives great lectures and wants to make sure you not only receive a good grade, but also fully understand the material.
I honestly suck at English and she made English seem extremely easy. You might get overwhelmed by the amount of reading you will have to do for this class but it is all spread out through the semester. If you do what you are told and follow the syllabus you will be fine.
great teacher. Gives extra credit for class participation. Gives clear instruction for what she wants in your essays. Is open to your view of literature and gives you many chances. I highly recomend her
This was my favorite class this semester. Get ready to read - it IS a Lit class - and she gives reading check quizzes to hold you accountable. She's super down to earth and sets clear guidelines for grading. Only one oral presentation, 3 writing assignments (1 is based on your oral presentation), and 2 exams. Her lectures are interesting, too.
I took the 6-week Summer A class and make no mistake, there is a LOT of work. There's something due almost every day. There's 2 big essays worth 25% each but she doesn't really grade harshly. She's the first professor I've had that actually leaves feedback on essays which I so appreciate to learn from my mistakes. Highly recommend her to all!
I took a 6week course so I felt like I had essays slapping me left and right and 3 novels. Don't procrastinate. If you don't have a procrastinating issue, go for it.
Amazing at what she does very kind and funny
Irresponsible and misses class, so following the syllabus isn't very helpful. I've showed up to classes ready for a reading check quiz when there isn't and vice versa. You have to be emailing her to keep track of what's due next in class. In class she is very informative but won't always tell you what's due next class which is unprofessional.
My online class originally had another professor, but it switched to Perez-Mirabal. If you don't want to do speech in class, I highly recommend you take LIT2480 with her if possible. She has mini-essay assignments and one recorded very short speech. Take her! So glad I didn't do speech class in person. Very easy!
Awesome professor. Beware there is a lot of reading since it's a literature class. Quizzes on reading every class. 3 exams & 4 essays. She is super knowledgeable about this subject.
I literally created an account just so I could rate her! Her class is a lot of work but its a very fun and interesting class. She is a phenomenal teacher and really cares about her students! (Hard to find) !!
Such a caring professor. She is very helpful when it comes to assignments and gives good feedback. 3 essays and 3 exams. I learned a lot about literature in her class and have a greater appreciation for it because of her.
Get ready to read and to speak, this is what is about LIT2480. In this subject I learned a lot, prof. Perez-Mirabal is always giving papers to read for the next class and that way you really learn! Evaluation system has a good design so everything matters. She is very flexible and open for suggestions, I really appreciated having her as a teacher.
the most UNRELIABLE teacher I have seen in MDC; do NOT count on this teacher. She told me to meet up with her to get in the class and we had scheduled to do so, and I showed up and she was not there, nor told me anything about it. This NEVER has happened to me with a professor and this is a warning to anyone who decides to pick her.
Professor Perez-Mirabal is another amazing professor at MDC. I took her for ENC2300, Lit2120, and Lit2000. I wanna keep taking her and only her because she knows her stuff, is a great professor when shes teaching and is very knowledgeable about the subject. By far one of my fav. Buy the book and read. Its an English/Lit class so prepare to read.
First I want to say this professor is a tough grader. She gave me an 85/100 for an introductory post... Next I want to say that this professor is horrible at giving back grades. Before quarantine, I still had several assignments (including my midterm) that were not graded. I am now in my finals week and I still do not have my midterm grade or other
Although the class was relatively easy, I would never take a class with her again. She waits until the last minute to grade and is always very confusing with due dates/instructions. Always late and sometimes skips class without informing the students!
She's honestly an amazing professor all around. Mirabal really does care for all her students and does her best to make sure everybody understands the material. The tests are very easy and no textbook is required. 10/10 lady
Professor Mirabal was a great professor. Her lectures were good and her assignments were straight forward. She put in grades quickly and her class was overall enjoyable. Id highly recommend her !
I would never recommend anyone to take a class with her & and I will never take it again. She grades papers extremely LATE and when I say late I mean it!! She is a tough grader, gave me 70s and 80s for little mistakes. Expect quizzes twice a week and three times a week towards the end.
I took this class the fall semester, during the pandemic, so it was online entirely. She grades papers two months late. She's very unorganized on scheduling assignments and due dates. Does not respond to emails, she's very hard to reach out to. There are multiple tests every week. Would not recommend her.
Very unreliable because she does not respond to emails and grades essays at the last minute. She fails to attend conferences she creates with students. She's very unorganized with her due dates. Would not take her again.
Took ENC with this professor online due to the pandemic and it did not go well. She is very disorganized, assigns multiple quizzes AND multiple homework assignments a week, takes OVER A MONTH to grade, and takes weeks to get back to your emails. Assigns way too much work instead of focusing on a few heavy weighted and good quality assignments.
She takes forever to grade assignments, never responds to emails, shes a tough grader, she just makes the papers more challenging than what It needs to be and so much more, I would never take her again, nor do I recommend anyone taking her
She gives a lot of guidance and helps you understand the material clearly. You turn in drafts for your papers and then she gives you feedback so you have an opportunity to update your paper based what she is asking for. Great teacher!
I will never take this professor again, and I highly suggest you don't either. She will refuse to respond to your emails, no matter how many people try to contact her. She has conflicting due-dates, does not engage her class, completely unorganized, derails lectures to talk about nonsense. Taking her was a mistake, I advise you don't do the same.
This teacher is super easy I recommend there are a few readings in the bugging with a quiz for each one the midterm is a long essay with 3 topics each needs there on essay but not hard just time consuming and the same goes for the final there is also a presentation and its super easy and heavily graded overall its super easy
This professor made my class impossible to follow and understand. Got mad when we asked her to review the midterm when she said the class before she would. Always messed up due dates on assignments. She almost made my class fail the final due to the fact that she messed up the due date for it. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! Not easy to get a good grade.
She doesn't care about her job graded everything at the last minute gave everyone an Bs just overall lazy human being. Had to contact the school just to get her to do her job. Email her LOL she won't answer you. Extremely nitpicking with grading surprised this is all it takes to be called a professor.
Just take another class
84 in the class she didn't teach she gave us all Bs for contacting the school about her being inactive and was of no assistance bad person in general extremely rude nothing nice to say whatsoever
Professor Perez-Mirabal is all around alright professor who cares about teaching important topics that aren't usually mentioned in class and dives deep into societal issues. She is very open-minded and allows a safe space for students to discuss their opinions. Where she struggles is with her grading but, she did acknowledge that issues with her us
I've only been doing presentation and group projects, it's been a month and just now is when she's giving us an essay to write.
