Comment:
I had professor Benedicto several years ago. Every time I get hit up for donations from my alma mater, professor Benedictos employment is the reason that I do not donate. Most of my gripes echo the reviews below. Her behavior is unprofessional, her grading is inconsistent, and she doesnt even want to be on the classroom. Let her stick to research

Comment:
I came into this class eager to learn. Sadly, Elena didn't come ready to teach. She is passionate about linguistics, but she is NOT passionate about teaching. Students are not her priority, and this is apparent by HER MANY absences from classes during the semester. Looking back at the reviews, it has been this way for over a decade. Step it up, EB.

Comment:
As a graduate student who's had more than one class with Elena, I do NOT recommend her classes. Very low quality, very confusing explanations, little discipline, being late to class, leaving for days for conferences in other countries, not grading your assignments on time, etc., are the features of this professor!

There aren't enough characters allowed here to express my frustrations with Elena. As I type this, it is Friday of finals week and we just received our final report assignment 2 days prior. 3/31 grades have been entered, and after confirming we weren't behind before she left for SPAIN, she sent emails with numbered "missing essays" 2. DAYS. AGO.

Comment:
Yes, while she does leave the country for research purposes, the students and the class that students paid for should be at the top of her priorities. This is not the case at all. She didn't even bother to check her e-mails while away, when there was a problem with the materials that she was supposed to have delivered to us. flat out apathetic.

Elena is actually a wonderful teacher for any student who has a desire to make the most out of his education. It's true that she leaves the country but only in order to conduct research. She is readily available for consultation and, being a teacher, she is more than willing to help a student having trouble. Basically, if you try, you'll succeed.

Elena Benedicto is a wonderful teacher. She explains things very well and is very helpful. She makes you think... Put some effort, guys, linguistics is not easy! Learning is not only fun, you need to work as well.

Undoubtedly the worst teacher I've ever had. Quite possibly, the worst teacher I've ever seen. Unless you need her class to graduate this semester, don't take her class. If you can't avoid taking her class, start drinking. A lot.

Well, She is seriously one of the least dependable teachers I have had. She left the country to do research, and left us with no materials to go over, except a video series that never made it. Also, since she left the country, we had to cram our exams into the last three weeks of class...LAME!

She may know her stuff but she can't explain it. I would never recommend her to anyone but an enemy.

She rejected me she rejected my request for help when I had clearly explained to her what I didn't understand. She just told me to go read the book.

BLAH! That is all I have to say. She knows her stuff, but not how to teach or relate to people. She also likes to poke fun of Americans, which is odd since she came here to work. I found her to be rude, unhelpful, and highly unorganized. She also seemed to go against the syllabus. :-(

I hope you never want to know what your grade is until the semester is over. You can check with her 50 times, but she will never really tell you. She also seems to go against her syllabus. She is more interested in her rersearch than her students.

She was, bar none, the worst professor I have ever had in my 3 years at purdue. She will not help you with any problems, she doesn't seem to follow her sylabus, and she is unclear about everything. I have said this before and it was removed...go fig.

Prof. Benedicto will work you, but she's a pretty good teacher. Make sure she knows that you are really putting forth effort and you'll do fine.
