I had her for ENC 1102, she is very passionate about what she teaches. Test are easy if you take notes and just pay attention in class. I will definitely take another class with her.

She was a wondering professor. She always made sure you understood the material, made the class interesting, and had great stories to tell that directly related to what we were learning about. I would definitely take all my classes with her if I could. She's amazing.

Only 2 essays and 1 research paper. Study the concepts of the stories and the elements of the themes and you'll do fine. Very helpful and makes class interesting

i personally hate English, but this was a good class.

She is a very good professor. Makes class interesting. You need to get prepared for class o understand the material, read, read, read. You will find out why is so important. Test are easy if you study, tricky if you don't. Young teacher but very prepared.

I had Professor Ruiz for 20th Century Humanities and I absolutely loved her. She is an excellent teacher and is extremely helpful. It is very easy to pick up on the information because she makes the lecture a conversation and interacts with us. Take her! Don't be hesitant you won't regret taking her. I got an A no problem. Just study:)

Professor Ruiz is a very good teacher. She is clear in her expectations for the class. It is very important to read all the lectures. Class is very interesting and the professor is very knowledgeable.

Professor Ruiz's test are easy but she expects a lot out of you when it comes to her essays. She also expects you to read all of the assigned stories because you end up discussing them during the next class and your graded on your participation.

Prof. Ruiz is easy once she clarifies how she wants her essays written. Her tests are easy but you must read the assignments given because she talks about them as a group in class and ends up quoting them on her mid term and final.

Dr. Ruiz, is a pretty great teacher. Shes young and really enjoys her class. Her work is easy as long as you complete it you'll do fine in her class. If you participate in class your grade will reflect that.

her test are easy, she expect way to much for her essays and she does not care about how much you know and you can give because she stick to her curve and place people in the grade she think is good for her. some other professor with 40 years teaching corrected each of my papers but to miss Ruiz I could not get not more than a B.

I loved her class! The class is only fun if you participate in the group discussions. Several times in class we would have debates and lots of insightful discussions and that's what made the class fun. She had a great sense of humor. You have to take it out of her. Overall one of the best teacher. DONT LEAVE THE JOURNALS FOR LAST MINUTE!

On your first day she comes off as a very tough teacher but she really isn't. She expects you to show up to class and add to the class conversations. The class is very easy if you attend class. Most of the reading HW is short. The 2 tests we took only took me 20 minutes each. She tells you what you need to know and makes class fun.

Goes over a lot of material ! She's very strict as well. If you'r really interested in this subject I recommend taking her.She teaches a lot of things. She's fairly easy on grading journals and the presentations. She can have an attitude at times, and makes no exceptions for anyone. Attend class, Pay attention, do your journals and you'll be fine

The professor was very helpful throughout the semester. She is a little strict about cell phones being used and attendance. There are some journals that need to be done and can be confusing but her exams and her quizzes are pretty easy if you listen to her lectures. And make sure to take notes. Learned a lot from that class and had fun.

She's a young professor with a Ph.D the book you don't really use tbh. Her journals are confusing at times so the earlier you start the better. Quizzes are easy if you take notes and pay attention. One research paper you have to present then a midterm and final. NO CELLPHONES! She's nice and smart, but a little strict at times. Overall easy A or B.

SHE'S SO HOT! Her class is easy as long as you pay attention, attend, and study alittle by applying yourself and what you've learned. She tried to make class interesting and she's kind of strict only because she needs to be with the "type" of students in the class she teaches..

She's so intelligent, nice, and beautiful!

One of my favorite teachers, especially for humanities! She is tough but the class is easy as long as you do the work. Her quizzes are based off of her lectures which aren’t boring at all. One easy project which you pick the topic. She’s intelligent and made this class my favorite.

If you have the chance, take her. It's not a hard class, but you definitely need to put in some effort. She gives weekly assignments online, they're not hard and can be completed with ease. She's very clear and explains her lessons thoroughly. If I had to take another humanities class, i would definitely love to take her again.

Are you able to pass this class with basically an easy A? I'd say yes. Should you read? I really didn't. I would read the handouts, poems, and plays when necessary. I would say just to read because she would say to read & then next class spring a quiz. Lectures for most classes, in class discussions. Semi-interesting. NO PHONES ALLOWED! Annoying.

expect to have on average 5 journals and one essaypresentation. she usually gives a test after every 2 subjects she covers. TAKE NOTES, everything from the quizzes comes straight from her lecturespower points. the book isn't really needed, i never used mine, she gives very little assignments so when she presents one take it serious!

If it wasn't for her my semester at VCC would have been a complete drag. She's young so she still understands what it's like to be a student but she empowers you with knowledge and expects you to do something with it. Passionate for the arts and English!

If you have the chance, take her. It's not a hard class, but you definitely need to put in some effort. She's very clear and explains her lessons thoroughly. If I had to take another humanities class, I would definitely love to take her again. About cell phones, if you need to tweet, FB, text or e-mail, on less is an emergency leave it for after.

Was an easy A, you just have to read material by due dates, follow syllabus. Tests are straight from lectures so make sure you take notes. She does pop quizzes on reading material so make sure you are up to date. Oh, don't even think about pulling out your cell phone during class, she will call you out on it. Has an extreme pet peeve on cell phones

This class was really easy. You don't really have to read if you take all the notes from her powerpoints. Lecture is slightly tiring but it was ok for me. Quizzes are really easy if you go over your notes, same with the 2 tests. You do 5 journal assignments and a 1 project presentation, but put time into it and you're fine. Easy A if you try a bit.

Ruiz is strict with due dates. She will NOT let you make up any work so do everything on time and you'll pass just fine. Shes fun and knows what shes talking about. She loves history a lot. Dont really need the next book if you take notes on her slide shows but shes fast, so write quickly. Tests are easy but journals are tedious.

LOVED HER! She was so sweet, and wanted to help you! She can be pretty strict and sometimes a tough grader, but its all just to make you a better student. She's clear on what she expects from you and will help you in any way. MAKE SURE TO TAKE NOTES FROM HER POWER POINTS! those notes will come in handy. I would love to take her class again.

Professor Ruiz provides a detailed syllabus. Pay attention to her lectures and take down notes from the power points. Quizzes and exams are easy as long as you pay attention and study some notes. the textbook is not needed for class. Do your best not to be absent from this class. Make sure you close the door behind you if you're late. Trust me.

I loved this class. It really helped me with my writing. She gives good feedback. I would take her again. Tips: don't be absent and turn in everything on time.

I like that she gives everything on the syllabus. That helps when you work two jobs :(

She's always prepared and organized. That helps a lot. I like that she goes by the syllabus. She doesn't accept late work and always sticks to deadlines and due dates, which makes sense because she goes by the syllabus. I liked her class. I learned a lot.

Shes a good prof would take again

Dr. Ruiz is a very through professor. She expects college work and you better give it to her. I had the opportunity to take a hard English teacher in high school so I was pretty prepared and used to the heavy work load. Take lots of notes and make sure you pay attention. The notes will help with any quizzes and test that you take.

She was available online during the pandemic and answered my emails quickly and everything was easy to follow on Canvas. She also gave me feedback that helped me in my writing, which was helpful. I really have no complains. I enjoy her class.

She inspired me to become a better writer. She is a great professor. Always there if you need her. She is a tough grader but she just wants you to read what you write and improve your skills. Definately recommend her.

Dr. Ruiz inspired me to be a better writer. You can see that she is passionate about writing. She gives detailed feedback which helped me. I recommend her 100%

Dr. Ruiz teaches a very complete class. I've learned so much. I learned a lot about grammar which I didn't know I needed.

Absolutely loved the discussion posts. You only have to write 3 essays, so it's not so bad. I would take her again. Her weekly emails are helpful as well.

Dr. Ruiz is by far one of the best English teachers I've ever had and I really appreciate her instruction. She has made me a better writer through her way of teaching from the bottom up by breaking down the components of an essay before we even write one. She really is great at getting students to critically engage with the content, too.

You can really tell how passionate and caring she was when it came to her lessons and students. She genuinely cared about our success and well-being and although she was kind of tough when it came to grading, she always left behind constructive criticism. The class was also fairly easy since most of the quizzes came straight from the book.

She breaks everything down and explains everything. Which I appreciate. I enjoyed the class discussions and the final paper was not hard. Overall, good class. Would take her again. I actually feel like I learned something.

This professor is very passionate about teaching and ensures her students understands the curriculum. She gives about 2-3 quizzes per week that are based on the weekly modules. There are 3 writing assignment that you complete throughout the semester, but she helps you with all of them. Overall a good professor.

Professor Ruiz is a very good professor overall. She has around 3-4 quizzes each quiz based on the modules that you have to read. 3 essays the whole semester and NO final exam. She does not allow phones or headphones at all and she loves it when you participate if you do not she will sometimes randomly pick so be prepared. I would take her again.

She's good at communicating expectations and deadlines and I appreciate that because it helps me a lot. She's a tough grader but leaves good feedback. Like she says, just do the work and you'll be fine.

I appreciate the feedback that she leaves in writing assignments. She takes the time to read what you write which not all proffessors do. She also explains things very well which I appreciate since it helps me learn better. I also like that she gives us sample essays because that way I know exactly what she wants. I feel like I'm learning with her.

I loved taking class with her. She explains things thoroughly and discusses everything in the classroom, which I find very helpful. I also like that she provides clear instructions. You can tell she cares that students learn.

Dr. Ruiz is an excellent professor. She's clear about not accepting late work and explains assignments well. She gives helpful feedback but deducts points for small mistakes. There are 3-4 quizzes each week, which you can retake. Stay on top of your work, and you'll do fine. Highly recommend her class 100% guaranteed you'll learn.

I appreciate that the professor takes the time to explain things. I've had other professors that don't explain very well. Also, I appreciate class discussions because it helps me get to know my classmates. It's a good class. It helped me grow as a writer.
