Prof. Reyes is an amazing teacher. Her exam are super easy, she literally gives the answer. She allows you to do an outline for the essay or bring the vocabulary(it depends). She's funny and if you don't understand something she will explain it to you. You HAVE to do the editorials, nothing to long but you wont pass the class if you don' do them :)

Professor Rody is a respectful professor. She is a good person and a human being. This is not an easy class nor hard. It depends on your work. If you follow the professor's instructions, attend class regularly, and submit your work on time, you will get a good grade according to your work. Once again, professor Rody is a very FAIR professor.

By far my favorite class ever taken at Hostos! Professor Reyes is AMAZING! She cares about her students and is very inspirational... Must do the work in order to pass the class but it is easy because it is interesting and teaches you history and most importantly - your constitutional rights! I usually want class to end but I cant get enough of her

Amazing professor by furthest the best at Hostos learned a lot we had completed a lot of work but it didnt feel like it. She made it interesting that you didnt even feel like you were writing long papers. You do have to put in the work and show up. But Do not hesitate to take her classes.

Professor Reyes was great. She pours her heart out and cares so much for her students. There was a lot of material but was doable and didn't feel like it because we learned useful things that we can apply in our lives.

You will appreciate this class since she is the most patient professor I have ever encountered. She is a lot of fun and will constantly encourage you to perform better in class. It's easy to keep up with her, and you won't want the semester to end. YOU MUST Participate!

Professor Reyes is the most caring, funny professor, at Hostos. Not only is her class entertaining but you would gain so much knowledge ( so many wrinkles in your brain). If I could take her again I would! If you want to pass just show up to class and do the assignments that's it! She wants everyone to pass her class you just have to do the work.

Professor Reyes is a caring and charismatic instructor. She makes sure every student's mood is up to par each morning. When it's time to write formal papers, she is willing to give as many structural instructions as necessary to ensure everyone has an equal opportunity to do their best work. Prof. Reyes made my semester a better one. 10/10

This professor is the absolute best. She's very caring and if you're ever in a dilemma you can speak to her and there will be no judgment, she'll help you in anyway she can. She askes for you to look up for 5 current events for each class so be ready for that. She makes her lectures fun and interesting.

She passes everyone but nobody learns anything. It's like a gossip class and leaves you unprepared/unknowledgeable about anything other than her political beliefs. It is an easy A as long as you don't disagree with her. Don't expect to learn the constitution, your rights, or how government works. She's nice but the class is a waste of time/money.

Professor Reyes is fantastic! I appreciate her high level of organization. Following her instructions ensures success. I'll miss her; she's one of the best professors at Hostos. Reyes is fair, funny, and strict, all for helping us get the concepts. All of her topics are so interesting, it open eyes and the way to see the world.

Excellent Professor, always in good spirits. It gives you the opportunity to send the classes even if the delivery date has passed, and if she has to explain something several times she does it, I loved the classes with her, I learned a lot from her.

Professor Reyes-Russi cares and wants that all who take her class pass. She gives plenty of chances to complete work while giving helpful feedback to obtain the best and highest grade. Her class helped me see how important it is to be informed of what happens in the US and all over the world. I absolutely enjoyed her class.

An angel is what she is! WOW this professor cares about her students and the community! Engagement is very important in this class, you will have a lot of assignments to do but it is so easy and manageable. She is understanding to late work, with given reason. If you fail this class is because you genuinely did not try. Definitely recommend!

Professor Reyes-Russi creates a fun, engaging environment. While the class is easy, you'll learn a lot about current events. Unstuck study was super helpful for study prep - definitely made the class a breeze.

One of my favorite courses. If you aren't someone that pays attention to the news and you're taking her class, get to it.. in the beginning of each class we have to find 7 news topics that are going on in the world, editorials from news papers, and Supreme Court cases and no exams. This class was simple and she was flexible and very understanding.
