Reviews of professor Rubia Valente

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Online classes can be hit or miss, but Professor Valente does a really great job of making the material understandable. Her lectures are great and make sure you get the topic, using examples of applied research methods from the textbook and otherwise. She's also very open to criticism and is always looking to improve her class. Great professor!!

The professor gave us all space to participate in the ways that we felt most comfortable. Professor Valente has been the most accommodating with my method of learning and has validated me as a student to measure me of my capacities, for this I am extremely grateful.

Asynch lectures were easy to follow. Pay attention and put in the time to do what she says. She clearly states every thing you need to get done. She's very caring and accessible through email, slack, etc. She encourages a study group/buddy. Do it. VERY ACCOMMODATING TO COVID RELATED ISSUES.

She values students' feedback. She gave a midterm survey to the class, and actually listened to our concerns and adapted the course to our suggestions. It's clear that she cares about the students and our learning experience, I was genuinely surprised that she actually listened to our feedback and made changes. She answers to emails quickly too.

Difficult to really understand the concepts that were being discussed in this course to begin with. Unfortunately, did not find myself being supported during my time in this class.

I attended Professors Valentes class at Baruch College. She was awesome! Her instruction style was very helpful in and out of class (responds quickly to emails). She gives weekly practice problems and quizzes that are a breeze, if you do the reading. Overall, the course was memorable and I definitely learned a lot.

Amazing professor at Baruch college with real-world experience. She was able to actually teach me Statistics and changed my perception of math. The homework is nothing too demanding. There are pop quizzes but they are fairly easy (5 questions multiple choice). You can use a calculator on all test and she gives you all the formulas on a sheet.

this professor is a genius! she was the smoothest online transition experience I've had thus far. taking her gave me a new perspective of learning. this is teaching at it's finest! she is worth every dollar spent on tuition because she actually wants you to learn and doesn't restrict material from you but applies all of her knowledge and help

Dr. Valente is literally one of the best professors I have ever had. She is caring and sweet. She is able to take a tricky subject (research design) and make it more accessible. She was particularly kind to the class throughout the pandemic and all the challenges that ensued thereafter.
