Reviews of professor Adriana Alcantara

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
lectures were on the chapters we had for homework so if you didn't read just take notes. Book is free & tests are based on chapters so just make sure you read & study and you will pass. study guides were not that helpful and too complex. she explains things like if we already knew them so it was hard to understand. grading book was not used.

Dr. Alcantara is so sweet. You can tell that she cares about the success of her students. She has a few easy pop quizzes, and her tests are mostly about what she talks about in class, so it's beneficial to pay attention. I think she sometimes has trouble explaining what she wants us to do for in class activities, but overall a very good professor!

soooo much reading, if you dont read you wont pass. tests are based on the readings, theres questions asked at the end of each reading, most test questions come from there. lectures feel extremely long. 3 critical thinkings, 5 pages each. doesnt allow notes on a laptop. she became very understanding towards the last few days of the semester. GL!

Test arent difficult if you read the textbook and listen carefully during lecture. Gives extra credit opportunities. She is a great professor and loves teaching. She involves the class in lots of discussion. Be on time she gives pop quizzes at beginning of class. Gives good feedback and is concerned with her students success. I Loved her class

Dr. Alcantarra is very passionate about teaching which is very refreshing! Her exams are heavily based on lecture, but the reading in book is helpful. She does not post her powerpoints, so if you miss class you will have to teach yourself. She is very understanding, and has lots of extra credit opportunities. However, she does talk a lot.
