Reviews of professor Maria Carles

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Do not take this professor!! This class is extremely painful to sit in, her powerpoint are 100+ slides which she makes sure she gets though in a 75 minute class. She reads directly off the slides and has no enthusiasm. It is impossible to learn anything in her lectures due to how much material she crams in one lecture. One of the worst professors.

Here is the deal, kids. Carles is the most unprofessional and disrespectful professor I have ever encountered. She stands up at the front of the class, clueless, and just reads off the slides. YOU HAVE TO TEACH YOURSELF! Not to mention NO STUDY GUIDE or OUTLINE!!! When I asked her about an outline she screamed in my face, SO unprofessional. -10/10

Very minimal grading opportunity. All grades are mainly tests but does them online with multiple chances and gives you a week to do them. Lectures straight from PowerPoint so can be a tad heavy and boring but wants you to learn and pass and is willing to do whatever she can to help. Definitely would take her again.

Pretty awful class. Only reason class was bearable during first couple weeks was because exams were online. That changed half way through when bio dept. found out and made her stop. Online test was when most of the learning was done for this class. Also have a term paper that never gets explained, on a topic not discussed. Won't last as professor.

Do you love microbiology and when information cannot be portrayed to you in an effective manner? Then look no further for your microbiology lab professor! I can assure you that you will get all of that (and more) with Dr. Carles! I hope you don't like actually learning what you're taught, because you won't get that with Dr. Carles, I promise!!

I'll start by saying I chose hilarious as a tag because its hilarious how bad this class and professor is. We average 100+ slides per 55 minutes of class time. She reads through the slides at an unobtainable pace almost as if its a competition for who can read bullet points the fastest. Class & professor leave me full of disappointment. Do not take

The workload for this class was fairly simple to get through, it was just the lectures that were difficult to get through. The subject of the class itself was interesting but a better teaching style is needed.

i don't have much contact with this professor only because it's an online course. she posts what's due for every week but other than that she doesn't do a lot of interaction with her students. she has a Q and A that is overlapping my Chem lecture (when i chose her class it didnt overlap) but since COVID thats the only thing she has to offer.
