she made the class fun by encouraging class participation. students could get by on notes only. she gives noice of what will be on the test including the final

she tells you the tests - so you can study - shes nice

This is a great teacher. I really liked the fact that she teaches both sides of the story. She tells of Columbus discovering America, but she also tells about the disaster and bloodshed he brought on the natives. It's a great class. I recommend it.

She is a nice teacher. She also give us extra credit and way to improve you score if you are not doing well.

She looks hard at first. Her class is very boring, but she gives you take home test. she gives you clues out the fianl and let's you take and outline. good teacher but boring

Ms. Urrutia is very knowledgable of history. She gives quizes which are easy. One in-class essay she does allow outlines. One in-class presentation, easy. No homework. Easy to get an A. Highly recommend.

She is pretty good. She has an essay as final exam and she gives regular quizzes. EASY A! I RECOMMEND HER! She also assigns group quizzes.

she's good teacher! I've gotten C's on my quizzes, but in the end of the semester, I got an A as my overall grade. she gives extra credit to fix your grades. really helpful

She was very helpful and I enjoyed taking her classes. She may seem to be strict at first, but if you keep up with your reading and pay attention to her lectures, you won't have a problem. She gives you many tests but again, if you review your book and notes you'll be fine.

(CONTD)take home quizzes and allows to work with your partner during assessments (chose your partner wisely). She keeps you until the bitter end and sometimes later, gives plenty of extra credit, she seemed to be very kind and understanding attendance is important, because quizzes are practically everyday and if you miss any, she does not permit

Professor Urrutia is a good teacher. Her lectures are mostly power points, but she also explains everything clearly to you. If you don't understand something, she will explain it to you until you do. Her class was easy. You can fail her midterm and still pass the class with an A. I learned a lot in her class and still remember it! haha Take her cla

Ok, so I took her for summer...Omg she's such a hard grader and I might add I'm a pretty descent writer. I'm assuming that if you take her during a regular semester her class seems fairly easy but very difficult during summer...tons of reading.

Very nice and understanding teacher. She let me take my midterm on a different date after I had an accident, and she even gave me advice on how to cure my ailment. Her independent project is very hard, and very important. It's an interview on an older person than you, and it requires a lot of dedication. All in all, she's GREAT.

She is very passionate about hist & does a really good job of relating hist to current times.Her lectures consist of powerpoint but surprisingly are not boring.For the midterm & final she will give you you 2 or 3 possible essay questions which you must prepare before hand.The class is straight foward just put some effort in and she will pass you.

I love her!! she makes this class amazing. she made me look at history through my experience. you need to read the book go to class every meeting and pay attention. you'll be ok. easy if you try. i highly recommend her. =]

Great teacher if you want to learn! She isn't those that will cut slack on you if you lag it throughout the semester. Fair to me and my education. People complain, but shes easy to pass if you pay attention. She makes history pretty fun and relates it to today. She offers help. She lets the class discuss, better if you do. I'm taking her again :O

i did everything and all the extra credits available, got a B on the mid term did well on my final, but got a c in her class wtf that doesnt make sense! shes always absent too dont take her class its a waste of time

She's a great person and really cares about her students. She has this passion for history and it definitely shows. Small assignments here and there. Midterm and final are short answers and essay. Final project is a presentation in class. Extra credit is a 3-4 page essay. Just do the work and you'll be fine.

she is good and comfortable talking about any political views.not bias like other teachers that defend history/political idealism of the u.s ohh yes she has big front nicely built

She is great teacher, but very difficult when it comes down to her Midterms and Finals. I didn't get the hang of her teaching till towards the end. Hopefully I pass the class. If you lovee History this is totally your class. When she teaches, she does it with so much passion, but since I despise History I wasn't very interested.

I really enjoyed taking this class. If you pay attention in class you will do fine.She gives a pretty clear review for any tests in class. I recommend her.

First of all she grades based on how well you answer her questions on her test. If you dont answer what she is asking for she will give you an F. But over all it is not hard.

Very clear in her reviews and helps students if you ask. I really liked her class and learned alot

Lectures are boring. Essays are okay, very inconsistent when they are due. Mid-term and finals are pretty hard. And one project. Take a different teacher if you want to learn.

This class is super easy if you take good notes, and pay attention during her lecture! She gives you hints on what you will be tested.

This professor is so genuine and cares about her students so much! Class was always so fun and interesting. All lectures were interesting. Such a great class!!!

Over all she is a very passionate teacher..easy grader but a lot of writing and reading is required. She does not leave a lot of homework but her assignments require a lot of work. It was worth it taking her class because she made it very interesting!

I enjoyed Professor Urrutia's teaching style. I learned so much in her class (Latin American History). I think if you had a negative experience & find her class to be "boring," then its most likely bc you are personally not stimulated by the subject to begin with. And, no matter who teaches the subject, you'll find something to complain about.

Great teacher. Took her for 2 classes. She is very passionate and expects you to participate and put your effort. If you are just trying to get by, then you shouldnt even bother taking her. Or even transferring. Because people who cant challenge themselves in community college wont have a place at a University

She's a great instructor. She couldn't be more clear cut with the instructions & what she expects. She covers a lot of material, so you have to read the text. Trust me when I say read ahead, because she'll handout more readings. She's an instructor I wish taught more subjects, because the way she teaches is the way all professors should be teaching

She lectured good and gives good perspective and insight on the subject she is lecturing about . She is passionate about history and expects her students to be professional as all professors should be. Her test were kinda complicated and had so many parts to it that takes up a lot of time, and she takes a long time to grade.

This class was a breeze. Even though its History of the Americas 2, I didnt take the first part and it was still really easy. Shows 2 movies, and tests are mostly based off her lectures. 1 Paper written about a novel. 1 group project.

My favorite ELAC professor thus far. Passionate about her job. Class consists of group/class discussions, power points and short films (take notes!), and reading you do at home. She is a very clear and fair grader. Gives extra credit and chances for revisions. Very interesting class. Made me want to take another history class, with her preferably.

Wonderful professor! Her lectures were interesting and extremely insightful. There is three essays but they are very easy , the same with her exams very easy but only if you read the book.

Well it is true she does make you write essays, but I think every history class requires you to do so. She'll give a lot of time to do them and often ends up changing the due date so that you will have even more time. As extra credits she wants you to write an essay, but it will really bump up your grade A WHOLE LOT. She is also there to help you.

She is easy to pass as long as you understand the material. If you don't , it's likely you might pass with a C , if you get some of the material. She cares about the subject and passionate. Lectures are not boring.

Professor Urrutia is the best History Teacher. I am a History Major and have taken all my History Classes with her that she offers, except History 86 and 87. She is a very compassionate person and truly cares about her students. She isn't difficult at all if you read the book and pay attention and study. Truly one of the best professors I've had.

She's is a very nice and chill professor. Lots of reading. She is very understanding , gives a lot of people time and extra credit to pass the class, so there is no excuses. She's available for all her students and helps them in any way to understand the content. Would most def, take again.

Professor Urrutia is a great professor. She tends to be late very often even though her office was one floor above our classroom. Shes very understanding and flexible with due dates. Many times dates were pushed back and students still didnt have the work done and allowed them to still turn it in which is great. Genuinely cares. great professor!

Agree that she is passionate about history. She works extra with you if you go to office hours. Could have returned work faster but let you revise. She cares about students.

Prof. Urrutia simply one of the best. A professor who truly cares for her students. She makes her lectures interesting and fun.

She is passionate about history. She really understanding professor with your situation. She has an amazing lecture. Even without reading the book. She covered everything with her lecture. She also lent with grading the essay you turn in. She also reviews with you when it comes to midterm and final. She also opens arm when it comes to rough draft.

Very encouraging and loves history. Sometimes does not return essays right away but she makes lots of comments and lets you fix and improve your work.

Professor Urrutia is fair and supportive. You will learn in this class. She wants you to know the real history of this country.

Very easygoing professor! VERY passionate, so her lectures are dense. Her material is not tough at all - lots of reading but it's all optional. Her study guides/slides have all you need to pass. Most of the grading comes from essays (on exam and papers). She is always available to help with essays, and has MANY makeup/extra credit options!

Cares a lot about history and about students. Office hours are helpful if you ever need help. She helped me revise my first exam. 3 exams and one paper, and she grades on improvement.

She loves history and it shows. Assigned one book and a lot of articles. One assignment was to research our own native roots, which I had never looked into before. Opened my eyes!

Professor Urrutia loves her history class so she explained it very well. The homework and the test are not hard at all if you read the book and the handouts papers.
