Professor Cortinez is extremely knowledgeable. Taking her class felt like something special, and I believe I would not have been able to learn what she taught and the extent to which she taught it from another professor. Professor Cortinez's class was definitely challenging due to the fast pace of the class, the amount of readings we were expected to get through, and the difficulty level of the readings. I feel most students in the class struggled with this, myself included. To accommodate this, however, Professor Cortinez made herself extremely available for students to ask questions. She also went over all the readings in depth to accommodate for gaps in student understanding. Professor Cortinez is also an extremely fair grader on exams-- if your work shows you have put in effort to keep up with the class, she will give you at least an A or a B. While you have to put in work to get an A, it is absolutely doable. Overall, I enjoyed this class very much and feel it was an extremely valuable experience.

La profesora definitivamente merece un 10! Fantástica, me encanta su manera de enseñar. Verdaderamente te ayuda a analizar, comprender, y apreciar la literatura latinoamericana. Si es bastante material pero hace un excelente trabajo explicándolo. Aún no se que grado obtendré en la clase, pero la recomiendo 100%. Aprenderán muchísimo! Los exámenes no son tan complicados, solo hay que estudiar y entender el material. Definitivamente una de las profesoras más preparadas y brillantes que he conocido. Una verdadera gema.
