This was a writing workshop so of course, everything turned out okay, but out of all of my workshops, Fuentes was my least favorite. This has nothing to do with her, but rather how she structured the class. All of the other workshops involved whole class discussions on two or three pieces per period. Fuentes chose to have us submit one flash fiction per week, along with a reading reflection. The flash fictions were workshopped in groups of three to four people. I think there is a reason why the workshops typically stick to the other structure because this was the least fulfilling workshop class I've taken. I walked away from most classes feeling like I hadn't received much helpful feedback, and the 500 word flash fictions made it difficult to have full creative freedom. |

Great class. In the discussion sections you get the opportunity to discuss the readings for the week and workshop flash fictions. The whole course is basically participation based. As long as you turn in your assignments you will get a 10/10 on it. Lectures are optional. Final project is writing your own short story or writing about three short stories you read in class. |

Professor Fuentes is one of the nicest and most genuine professors I've had. This class is reading one short story a week and writing a few sentences about it and one every 2 weeks you have to write a small creative writing piece that was extremely do-able. Both of these assignments are graded pass-fail (even when you take the course for a grade) and are easy. I stopped showing up to lectures because it was completely useless and had no effect on the assignments. The midterm and final were just writing pieces. |

The class is super easy and Dr. Fuentes is very nice. She's really understanding about everyone's writing capabilities. It's just very boring, making lectures hard to get through, but it's probably one of the easiest easy gen ed classes. |

Dr. Fuentes is a really nice person, just a little boring to listen to. Notes are posted online, and there are no exams, so it is extremely hard to stay motivated to go to lecture. My discussion section was a lot of fun though! We wrote and workshopped fiction. This class is extremely easy, in that there is just one discussion post a week that coincides with readings, and the discussion replies aren't hidden. The readings are really interesting, they just got long sometimes. We also occasionally wrote "flash fictions," which are easy and fun, just know you will have to read them aloud during discussion sections. |

Dr. Fuentes is so sweet and pushes us to go out of our comfort zones in a way that makes me actually want to do so! Like any workshop class, attendance is mandatory, but although it is a long class, time goes by fairly quickly. I have nothing bad to say about Dr. Fuentes, and I would definitely recommend taking one of her workshop classes! |
