Cecilia Huertas Cerdeira ENME331 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/05/2024	Shes very quiet and drones on about convoluted derivations rather than developing the classes understanding of fluids. Especially towards the end of each topic the lectures start to cover exponentially less material. Most of the learning happens when practicing for this classes exams, rather than in the lecture.
Cecilia Huertas Cerdeira ENME331 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/05/2024	Cecilia lectured for half of the semester, switched off with Riaz, and moved to the discussions. I don't think there were more than three lectures all semester where I learned a single thing. They spent a lot of time on derivations that simply illuminated nothing of any use. I would go to lectures and get so bored out that I would fall asleep and wake up and have missed nothing. They spent a lot of time with the derivations and laughably little time on example problems to show how those derivations would be used. Overall, I don't know if that lecture format is entirely her fault, but her lecturing style was also not captivating at all. Very monotone and fairly hard to hear despite sitting in the front. You learned all of the content hopefully in discussions or when doing homework. The exams were pretty fair, and the grades tended to be pretty high.
Cecilia Huertas Cerdeira ENME331 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/05/2024	Dr. Huertas is a decent professor who is very willing to help students out who have questions. Exams are fair and homeworks are reasonable. She can be quiet and dry when lecturing but she is still helpful professor in a class that isn’t too demanding.
Cecilia Huertas Cerdeira ENME331 Expecting a B Anonymous 12/05/2024	Dr. Huertas is honestly a nice person, but honestly she is one of the worst professors I have ever had in the context of teaching. She grades exams harshly as well and this course in general seems to be allergic to partial credit. Labs are fun in person but the reports are excessively insufferable, and the derivations of equations are next to impossible with points being taken off over terrible reasons and the rubrics aren't even filled most of the time. Part of this is definitely from the lack of sympathy of the TAs for the most part but the professor is not devoid of fault.
Cecilia Huertas Cerdeira ENME331 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 11/21/2024	I feel like the negative reviews for Huertas are a little over the top. Yes she can be a little quiet but the content for the class is really not that demanding and she is always willing to answer questions in detail. Yes it can be a little boring but fluids is really not a heavily challenging class if you ask questions and get the help when you need it

Cecilia Huertas Cerdeira ENME331 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/23/2023	Dr Huertas goes pretty fast because she is often not speaking to the class. She simply copies what she has written on her notes. This means many students miss important content when she makes a new slide to scrawl fast on. There was no support for understanding the material, since the TAs were pretty useless. Nobody responded to emails promptly, so homework questions often went unanswered until well after it was due. The professor moved through topics without reviewing their purpose or relationship to other chapters, meaning everything felt very pointless until we were forced to put it all together for homework. Also, much of the syntax she uses is not consistent with the TAs and textbook. The other professor, Dr Riaz has similar problems with his teaching.

Cecilia Huertas Cerdeira ENME331 Anonymous 12/27/2021	Huertas led the studio sessions and review sessions before exams. I think she is new and is learning how to teach a college course. She is kind of awkward but wants students to get involved. In-studio she asked questions for students to answer/help out while solving a problem, but no one raised their hands, so eventually, she stopped asking. Huertas is not consistent with writing out solutions where she will either show a lot of steps or skip some steps. Sometimes her work has an error or two. She is new, so cut her some slack, but could be better, could be worse. She does know the content, but learning how to teach it is the challenge.
