Reviews of professor Carissa Henriques

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I had Carissa a year ago now and she is my absolute favorite. She invests time into her students and pushes them. Her classes are not easy by any means but she will force you to think in different ways that will make you a better designer. Highly recommend.

Carissa is very sweet and friendly and loves to talk about books. Her assignments can be a little vague. Not too vague that you have no idea what's going on, but just vague enough to where you can easily misinterpret crucial details, which was a pain point for a lot of my classmates and I. Overall lovely, but prepare to ask for clarification!

Would show up to class 15 min late almost every day. Was never very caring if a student was sick or injured. Attendance was more important than mental/physical health. Talks forever even when needing class time to complete work.

I have had Carissa for multiple semesters and classes. She really cares about the final product and will help you get it there if you meet her half way. You must be on top of your work which you should be anyways in an upper level class.

Very confusing and wishy-washy when explaining an assignment. Will tell the class about an assignment, leaving an important detail out, then would get mad at us for not figuring it out. I left class feeling very discouraged about my work every time.
