Reviews of professor Maja Carrion

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This is a great class to satisfy a hub course or if you're going into epi/public health. All open notes for assignments and tests. Very lecture-heavy as well. Her grading is very reasonable and always gives the students the best grade possible in the course so everyone is successful.

You usually have to go over the material yourself because she talks really fast. However, if you pay attention in lecture and do the homework and go over the lectures outside of class, you should be fine.

She reads off her powerpoints for most of her lectures, but it's really helpful when it comes to studying for the exams since everything she tests is on the powerpoints. It's really nice that she records all her lectures since she teaches remotely.

Prof. Carrion was a good lecturer and didn't expect too much of the students. Class is stat heavy, so if you have taken stat it is much easier to pick up. Had very interesting guest lecturers and straight-forward tests. Really enjoyable class!

Enjoyed having her for Enviro. Health. Definitely thought she was a very fair grader, you should study for her tests and really go over notes, but if you're familiar with the material you should at least pull averages (85s). She obviously cares about her students and is readily available during office hours.

Prof Carrion is great! Had her over the summer, the course was pretty easy and you don't really need to read the textbook if you come to lectures. However, you HAVE to pay attention because there are only a few grades, and if you don't know how to do the math you won't pass tests. The tests are pretty easy though, she is not trying to trick you.

Great professor. Lectures are based off of her PowerPoints which she basically reads off of during class, but the content is pretty interesting. Midterm and final were open response, essay format but they were graded very fairly. Beware: there is a massive group project in this class

Prof. Carrion was by far my favorite professor I've ever had at BU. Her teaching style is awesome and she's super sweet. Weekly assignments aren't bad, but the midterm and final are definitely content-heavy, so make sure to study a lot prior. Attendance isn't taken, but if you want to do well in the class, you have to go. 10/10 would reccomend

Professor Carrion is very straightforward in communicating the content of her exams as well as having straightforward exam questions. I appreciate how she was very understanding and accessible outside of class. She also invited guest speakers which kept the class very interesting and related content to the current situation.
