Reviews of professor Maja Carrion

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof Carrion is awesome. Grades on a bunch of assignments (not hard) and the midterm & final are alright as long as you came to class and took notes. You don't need to take stats before this class, the math is literally addition and multiplication, skills covered in like elementary school, though she goes over examples in class

Professor Carrion is one of my favorite professors at BU. I took Neglected Tropical Disease and as long as you pay attention in class and skim the readings (before the exam), you should get an A. Her powerpoints seem specific but she only tests you on the basics. She will tell you exactly what you need to do to get a good grade on every assignment!

Professor Carrion is a nice professor but she is unbelievably late returning assignments. We had something due the second week in October and didnt get it back until December, half of our grades werent put in until the last minute of the semester which I didnt appreciate. This class is really easy but super motivating too!

I genuinely don't understand the bad reviews. She is one of the sweetest professors I have ever taken. Genuinely cares about her students and making connections with them. Her teaching philosophy strays away from pure memorization and as a result, you wind up learning more than in any other class. She is also very engaging as a lecturer. 10/10

Carrion cares so much about both her work and her student's success. Very kind and understanding. She does want her students to participate and do the reading for her class however 441 was pretty laid back except for the small projects that we had to do. Super interesting class with a super passionate prof.

Prof. Carrion can be monotone at times but her slides are informative and great for exams. Epi can be tedious to learn and isn't as interesting as other PH classes. However, she was very willing to clarify and her exams were totally fair.
