Reviews of professor Crystal Del Valle

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Del Valle is one of the worst professors I have had. Don't bother going to her for help because she will belittle you. The TA's will be your best friend if you take one of her courses. No care for her students, and a really harsh grader. She thinks 60% as a test average is good if that tells you anything. 10/10 would not recommend.

This class is unreasonably hard. Between the specificity of the exam questions, the sheer amount of material on exams, and the lecture style, it is very unenjoyable and difficult. Dr. Del Valle is extremely smart and cares about her students, but the way she teaches the course makes it hard to succeed. Pre-health majors, take this class elsewhere

Horrible teacher. Lectures have almost no information and tests are very difficult. Our classes average on the first exam was a 68% and then blames in on the students study techniques and takes no considertion that it might just be her way of teaching. Avoid taking her as a teacher.

She's a nice person but, her PowerPoints have no information. Very unorganized, expects things to be handed in that were not asked for, etc. Very disappointing.

she is a very caring professor, but very bold and intimidating at first. go to her office hours, ask questions, exams are 50 pts (x5), crams TONS of info in each unit-be ready to study hard. really passionate about what she teaches, and knows her stuff. quizzes online (do w/ a partner, 2 attempts each), easy 10 points- these cushion your grade!

I'm a bio student and I've already completed most of my upper-division courses, but had to technically retake this class due to transferring difficulty. This is by far harder than any upper division class I've ever taken. All the friends I started with have dropped this course. Huge exams & tons of content. Prof is nice but very difficult.
