Reviews of professor Rosa Cabral-Rains

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Main issues are subjective grading and vague expectations. All assignments and discussion posts are incredibly vague about the expected outcome. She takes advantage of this to lower your grade; saying your DP or project could have included more. Even worse, she takes points off for "missing criteria" that are not mentioned in the assignment rubric.

No matter how hard you work to edit your posts or papers, you will never receive a reasonable grade for her assignments.

OK so out of the 115 credits I have, Rosa is by far the worst teacher I have dealt with. Every discussion and assignment has a list of instructions, but when you follow the instructions listed she grades poorly because you didn't include something not on the instruction. It makes no sense and all my classmates were also graded poorly due to this.

Would not recommend anyone take a class taught by Prof. Cabral-Rains. Very unclear expectations, feedback is not helpful, and the class is a lot of work- most of which seems unnecessary. Avoid if you can.

Prof. Cabral-Rains was extremely accessible and a very fair grader. Would reach out to me often to remind me of any missing items or questions I had. Workload was a bit heavy for a one credit (to be expected for a UMUC lab) but nothing crazy.

The title of this class was Laboratory Management and Safety. I do not understand how someone with no concept of management can teach a class about management. The online class had zero structure. Assignments are poorly worded so you cannot complete them on your own which negates the point of online classes. This woman is a J O K E. Avoid.

She is very confused and always looking for reasons to lower your grade. This is one of her comments on my assignments. "one reply is a subpar your discussion of sea-level rise was good but I would have wished said something about beach erosion" She gave me 86.67% I wish I had more space to post all her feedback comments. WORST AND CONFUSED
