Reviews of professor Carmen Almarza

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
She is an ok prof who ends lectures super early when there's nothing else to do. Textbook is heavily used and lectures are really dry. The 2 in-class midterms are all MC and not easy. Spends the week before exams just summarizing what students have presented. There's only 1 group presentation and 1 term paper apart from exams. Marking is fair.

Carmen is a great prof. She is understanding and helpful if you ask her about the assignments and is available for help outside of class. The only thing that was a bit inconvenient is that she did not use canvas. Projects were fair and clear and she grades very fair.

I know what people are saying that her instructions arent clear, but thats because she wants you to think outside the box. Be original with your assignments and guiness is important. You must attend class because all filming/practice is done during class time. EXPERIENTIAL CLASS! Just show up and you'll well if you enjoy counseling

Seems like a nice person, but not a great prof. She is very unclear when teaching material and unclear of what she expects from you. Her seminars feel pointless to attend - 45 minute group project presentation followed by her rambling about things for an hour, which she could easily summarize into a few sentences

Very nice and caring. Often extended weekly homework deadlines to give us extra time. Understanding about how stressful school is and made exams easy to prepare for. This class covers a lot of content and I wish that there were 3 exams instead of 2 because the theories overlapped a lot and it got confusing.
