Reviews of professor Maria Maier

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
She's very unclear of what exactly she wants and is picky about the work despite your efforts and often miscommunicates. She assigns a lot of work, expect at least 6 assignments per week. Overall, she's a sweet lady just not a very good professor, I don't think I'd take her class again.

Very professional. Grades way to hard and is not clear on instructions.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She is not very understanding when it comes to the assignments. Although she tells us to follow the book, she also makes corrections on our documents of what "she would put" not necessary open to what others might write. The last project can be done in groups or alone. She is helpful but she also comes off as annoyed when asked to much questions.

She always thinks she's right and will go back and forth with you. I went countless times to the writing center and SHE STILL would critique my work so hard, I'd barely pass. YOU CANNOT MISS A SINGLE ASSIGNMENT OR YOU WILL FAIL. She will critique ANYTHING and EVERYTHING it is so unnecessary. Overall, PLEASE DON'T TAKE HER.

Our entire class agreed that we all REALLY hated this class. Instructions were so unclear for 1302 and we were always scrambling around trying to figure out what to do. She just got her doctorates and it was her first semester doing so with it. She takes forever to grade as well. I would recommend a different professor.

Smart teacher and passionate, but a very tough grader and attendance is mandatory if you want to pass. Lots and lots of Homework, very easy to fall behind and many classmates were confused on assignments. Would not recommend the class at all unless you like torture.

Worse professor in my college career here at UTEP. She is very unclear at her assignments. She doesn't explain anything when you try and send her an email to get help. I would not suggest you take this person. Very very poor professor when explaining anything.

She does allow you to go to the Writing center for extra credit points. I did this and the people who edit these documents provided very little feedback and corrections. So when she gives the papers back, she has numerous corrections. I feel her suggestion to get feedback from the Writing Center is pointless because she is very picky.

Class assignments are staright foward. No tests, all workplace writing assignments. As long as you read the book and follow the assignment sheets, you should be good. Professor answers questions fast online and provides great feedback.

Workplace writing assignments, no exams. Two major assignments. She does answer emails quickly. However, I do not feel she is really helpful. She provides the assignment sheets but on an assignment that required "extensive research" she gave me a C for "too much research". I would not take her class again.
