Reviews of professor Belen Vicens

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Treats the gen ed like a 300 level course. Its passable but other 101 teacher would be easier. Somewhat tough grader but if you do a little extra work you will finish with a good grade. Gives detailed study guides that are super helpful for exams. Exams are kinda hard but passable if you study.

DO NOT TAKE. Dr.Vicens might be the worst teacher I have ever had. She gives out loads of work for minimal credit. She is not approachable at all and she makes it very hard to ask her to help when she enjoys being smarter than us. Would not be surprised if she gets fired.

Please DO NOT take this professor! Her classes are boring, if you don't know something she gets mad, if you get up to use the bathroom she gets mad, her office hours are not helpful, assignments are a mile long for a 101 class, She makes the class a 300-400 level class, her exams are confusing and laid out horribly, she will call on people random..

What was taught was barely on the quizzes which determined a big part of your grade. Very unclear on the bibliography, definitely go to her office hours before you turn in any big assignment and make sure you did it correctly.

Vicens is a great professor.  Not only does she help you build the skills you need to write a great paper, but she makes it fun along the way. She is caring and will push you to be the best you can be. At times, her comments may be frustrating, but they are there to help improve your paper and make it A worthy. Highly recommend her!

She is definitely not the worst professor I've had, but she is in no means a good professor. You can tell that she enjoys knowing more than the students and she doesn't like if a student believes she is wrong on any subject. The quizzes and tests are easy-moderately difficult, but she grades harshly. And, way too much liberal politics crammed in.

My first opinion of this class wasn't the greatest but it got better over the course of the semester. She is a nice professor but she calls on you randomly, which I'm not a fan of. Make sure you do the work because you will be called out for it. The exams aren't bad as long as you study. Everything is very organized each week but LOTS of busy work.
