Reviews of professor Valerie Cintron

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Cintron grades harshly on essays, but it is possible to do well if you ask questions about her expectations of the assignment. Every week we had a breakout room, I would not recommend her courses if you hate group work. She is kind, knowledgeable, organized, and willing to help her students.

Valerie is a very tough grader, don't expect much slack when justifying a diagnosis in your assessments. I had a hard time with the 1st big essay & midterm and was panicking. Valerie met with me twice and clearly broke down the work & her expectations, with her guidance I sailed through the rest of the assignments. Exceptionally good professor.

Be ready to work in groups every class period, if you aren't familiar with the peers in your class this can be a bit difficult. She does a great job of grading things quickly and providing ample feedback. The book is used for this course so I would highly suggest getting it.
