Reviews of professor Crystal Del Valle

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Del Valle is by far the worst professor I have had at UWEC. She does a terrible job at teaching and then blames the bad exam scores on us and does not think about how her inability to teach may be the reason the scores were so low. She is also no help in office hours. Do not take her as a professor, and take the class elsewhere if you have to!

I took Dr. Del Valle's Bio221 course online due to COVID, and I've never been so stressed for a class before. Her exams are so in depth you might as well memorize the book itself. Expect to teach yourself the material and spend long hours studying before exams. SAAs will be your best friends if you have Del Valle for this course.

Did seem to care to much that the whole class wasnt doing good. Then blames it on your study habits

Del Valle knows a lot about Microbiology, but she is not able to teach it and students suffer from this greatly. All of the exam scores were terrible and she would blame students, and not reflect on how her poor ability to teach. If you are pre-nursing/nursing take this class online or another professor. Many did not get in due to her class.

All the exams are based on her power points which are difficult to follow. Our class first exams grade average was a 44%. Then blamed the class for not studying.

If you need this class as a prerequisite for the nursing program, do NOT take it with Del Valle! Her lectures are very unorganized and did not prepare you at all for her extremely difficult exams. When a professor gets excited about a 58% exam average, somethings obviously not working. Take the UWIL online micro course instead, far more engaging!

Class average on first test: 62%, average on second test: 56%. To a normal prof, this would scream "I'm doing something wrong if my entire class is sporting an F-D average." Yet this rationale doesn't seem to phase the prof, or the department. This professor pins the blame on the students, when the problem is her unrealistic expectations. Terrible

Tests were difficult but not impossible- just need to teach yourself & study hard! Del Valle doesnt care about her students whatsoever- always blamed us for bad scores, singles out people in class( like she will yell at you across the lecture hall) & wont give back points for mistakes shes made on quizzes!

Worst prof Ive ever had BY FAR. The course content is hard, but she makes it so much worse. Not clear on what is on exams, thus why so many people do so poorly. She is honestly rude and condescending and blames everyone but herself about bad exam scores. Expect to study for multiple hours and only receive a C at the most. Avoid at all costs!!
