Reviews of professor Maria Alvarez

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Alvarez was a great teacher. The lectures were sometimes a little long and she was a little strict with grading, but she really wanted her students to succeed. She was available throughout the week. In addition, you could send your assignments to her before submitting to get feedback and fix any mistakes. Overall, a really great professor.

Dr. Alvarez teaches a difficult subject but makes it fun. Dr. Alvarez taught us things in this class we didn't even know we were learning like how to do better in all of your other classes!!! If you take this class you get more than what you paid for out of it. Expect to work hard & commit time. Dr. Alvarez is fair & accessible.

I would recommend Dr.Alvarez as a good choice for Bio 181 for both lecture and lab. There are a lot of lecture videos (I did online), she speaks slow and clear, there are quizzes at the end of each lesson. Does Kahoots before exams. Labs are very easy, SHOW UP and PAY ATTENTION, she goes over each lab assignment during lab, in clear detail.

Dr. Alvarez is  a rare gem in education. Anyone can teach, but to teach well and leave a lasting mark requires an extraordinary person like Dr. Alvarez. I was so blessed to have her as my instructor. Not only did I learn so much about microbiology, but also she taught me how to succeed in her course and every other course afterward.

Dr. Alvarez is truly an incredible and extremely knowledgeable professor. I wish I had more space to type all of my thoughts, but you will not regret taking Dr. Alvarez's course. She is exceptional and cares deeply for her students and their success. I would take her for every biology course if I could!
