Reviews of professor Carmen Bowen

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Bowen is very unorganized. She comes to class with a plan and deviates from it often. She is knowledgeable but often goes off topic. During our 16 week class we only did 4 hands on labs. Being a lab class we should have done more. There are quizzes due each week before class. She takes late work and bends over backwards to help her class.

Carmen has clear expectations and a clear grading policy. All the stuff you need for each lab is published on Canvas. I would recommend you finish the work in class. I took some work home and struggled a bit. Ask questions, as she is very helpful and caring. You must buy the book , which its pricey. Good learning experience overall.

I really enjoyed Professor Bowen's class. She always makes herself available and clearly loves teaching. If you are fulfilling a science requirement, this is a good choice! You learn a lot about the Earth (and there is plenty of extra credit btw).
