Reviews of professor Carlos Dimas

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
There are two exams for this class where he writes 5 words and you are to write about their importance, he asks you not to use Google so rent the book so you can skim through and find the answers. There's 2 papers and 5 discussions that are easy you just have to read and understand the readings assigned to be able to write about them.

Be prepared for random due date times! Also if you plan on being a student who works full time or part time, the due dates for this class WILL NOT WORK FOR YOU!!!! Be prepared to buy the textbook AND required supplemental reading

I honestly found this class boring. He didn't do anything to engage with us and whenever he had zoom meetings for midterms/finals, he wouldn't record them so if you had work that day you couldn't watch his review. Also, he's super vague with directions- and whenever he grades something- he gives very vague comments. Save yourself, don't take it.

I should have trusted all the ratings I read.  Weird due dates (5pm/8pm).  Essay instructions are unclear and not typical.  SO MUCH READING.  Total of 10 assignments which is including your 2 major papers, midterm, and final.

Professor Dimas is one of the worst professors I've taken at UNLV. You have very few assignments so your chance of even improving your grade is non existent. His instructions for assignments are vague and unclear. He doesn't leave any feedback so you don't even know where you need to improve. AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS

If you can avoid this class, do it. He does not mark you tardy, only absent, even if it is one minute past. He also is an unfair grader.

I'm telling you guys now, DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. He has vague instructions for assignments and leaves horrible feedback. Yes, there's only a few assignments, so there's little room to improve your grade. There is so much reading. Don't do this to yourself

Pretty good teacher. Doesn't read off slides and lectures are interesting. A few short papers a semester and a big group project at the end. Only one quiz that's worth a small portion of the overall grade. Need to go to class to pass. Allows only 2 absences.

Would never take him again or recommend him to anyone. I did the final and he failed me, then locked the course so I cannot contact him. Very little assignments worth big chunks of my grade.

Ridiculous amount of reading for the essays. Gives no feedback on the essays, but grades so harshly. Barely any assignments, but the discussions posts are pretty simple.  Essays were so stressful and never good enough. He also expects you to watch multiple hour-long documentaries, just read the transcripts or summaries online. Would not take this
