 Pros: -Interesting content/book selection
-Reasonable expectations
-Conversation/Lecture based
-Clear guidelines for exam content and writing assignments… there are no curve balls.
-Friendly professor, very personable
I am a non-major and in the classes I've had with Dr. Ibieta, I never observed any favoritism towards English majors.
Cons: These aren't really cons, but: Dr. Ibieta is pretty straight forward about her expectations. She's an academic, tenured professor and she can recognize students who don't pay attention in class and don't do the readings. On the upside, the readings are actually pretty interesting and if you participate you get a lot out of the class.
Not often, but I have seen her randomly call on students when they haven't participated in any of the past few classes. This class will be better (and easier) if you read ahead of time.
Dr. Ibieta is a wonderful professor. I highly recommend her for anyone interested in learning a new topic and willing to do their part. You will not be disappointed or 'screwed over' as another reviewer had said. I've taken 2 courses with Dr. Ibieta, all of very different subject matter, and I am confident that if you are a conscientious student who does their work and puts in a reasonable amount of effort you will be treated very fairly.
Note: These reviews apply to Literature of Exile and Carribean Literature

 Pros: Good professor, very sweet and interesting.
Cons: Lots of required reading, but is realistic about due dates and expectations. Most of the required reading was interesting to read and easy to get through

 Pros: I love her! She is very helpful and understanding. She does expect you to do the readings but it really helps for the exams. She also tries to make the conversations interesting and doesn't mind explaining something. Her grading is fair with papers and exams.
Cons: Sometimes her responses come off in a smart way but it's nothing you can't just slide off.

 Pros: Lot's of girls in the class.
Cons: These girls are definitely not interested in you.
Don't take this class if you aren't an english major. BECAUSE THIS professor will try to screw you over.

 Pros: This professor is very knowledgeable about the subjects she teaches which makes lecture extremely interesting.
Cons: Massive amounts of reading... but it was always interesting reading.
I actually took the Kafka class but that class isn't listed for this Professor. It was one of my three favorite classes at Drexel.

Cons: I can't really think of anything
Professor Ibieta is a nice lady -- she has always been polite and helpful whenever I asked her for any help or advice, and her class was pretty interesting.

 Although her class was difficult, it was to be expected. Honors English is not supposed to be a simple class. I learned quite a lot, and am better off for having taken her class. She genuinely cares for her student. Even though I had to work insanely hard for my A, it was all worth it.

 If you show up to class, put effort into your work, speak up and are generally polite, you should have no problem with her. She is very likeable. The workload is average; just be sure to proofread everything before submitting. I would consider taking more classes with her and would recommend her.

 she wasn't bad actually, you just have to read the material she assigns. people walk into class without having done the work and expect to do well because its an intro english class.
i got an A+ without much effort aside from reading the material, and knowing what she wanted out of the essays and in class assignments she gives.
don't take the class if you're looking for an easy A. take thorpe's online class if you want that

 This is a very knowledgeable teacher. She is very intelligent and makes everyone talk at least once each class. We had an insane work load, a book a week. Her test was an essay test, choice of 2 out of 3 questions, so if you are really on top of things for like 70% of the class, you should be fine.
