Reviews of professor Valerie Cintron

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Cintron is experienced, knowledgeable, and caring. I have taken a few classes with her and enjoyed them all. She genuinely wants students to learn and to feel prepared for real world applications. She is warm and friendly and listens to student feedback. She cares and it shows. If you want to learn, take her class.

Valerie is great. She tries to make lectures interesting and always has group activities. You need to show up or you will not pass. All of the assignments are straight forward.

I don't know if it's Covid or what, but this semester has been a disaster. She doesn't return emails or check in with students for WEEKS. The quizzes are filled with mistakes that she refuses to fix and sent a defensive email when she received feedback about it. Classes are poorly organized. I got more out of my interactions with peers than her.

There are assignments due for each class, they usually are pretty short though. Sometimes her grading criteria is unclear but she is willing to work with the students to change. There is A LOT of small group work so be prepared to meet EVERYONE in your class because she will make you work with different people multiple times in one class period.

Professor Cintron is a great professor but it can be a little difficult to understand her which could be a problem for some. But, she was always willing to fix any barriers and was very informative about the topics. There are quizzes every Sunday and a few projects and assignments but most of them are writing assignments. There is a group project.
