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.

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)

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.

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

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.

Lots of homework

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 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.

Skip class? You won't pass.

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.

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
