Reviews of professor Carmen Coury

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Coury structures her lectures with a high school type format with busy work for half the class and then just goes over the answers. Instead of giving kudos for right answers, she adds on her own unnecessary comments that comes off as arrogant. She makes her assignment instructions so confusing as well which complicates the process.

Yes, she is a tough grader. There is a lot to read (and write) in her class. Listen, if you are not ready to work hard, do not take her class. If you want a prof who's lenient and easy, do not take her. She actually makes sure that you are learning and gives awesome, detailed feedback. Personally, I loved her. She'll take time to help if you ask.

Like 1 you give us a lecture video over a hour long with a long PowerPoint tell us to write notes then give us a test only 6 minutes long  2 you give us reading assignments to write passages on then if we struggle we cant ask you for help cause you say get a tutor

Terrible. Has an attitude, never directly answers questions (acts as if the question insults her intelligence), is not helpful, and hard to understand (she speaks so eloquently that it is unintelligible to a college student). Doesn't share her notes because she says "They're mine." No tests, only papers that don't have clear instructions.

Professor Coury was my favorite teacher this year. She grades harshly but does it in a way that makes you excited for her feedback each week. Her video lectures are a bit dry, but she clearly cares about the subject she's teaching and her students. It's a warm environment that I adore!

Literally do not take colonial Latin American history, was by far the most boring class I have taken in my entire life. She gives out essays but isn't clear on what the prompt is and the discussion posts online are awful. She uses these big words that literally no one understands but act like you're stupid if you ask her to clarify.

Prof. Coury is the best. I've seen so many bad reviews on herself and her class, but that's far from the truth. Latin American History was really interesting and she is great, lets you know exactly what she wants and is always ready to help.

She may be interested in history but she lacks general compassion for students and their situations. She thrives in her position as a professor since it's the only place she has actual power.

Professor Coury is absolutely one of the worst professors I have had in the last ten years. She is unresponsive, confusing, ignores when you point out inconsistences and has an "I am better than you attitude." I have not been so discouraged in my major. Instead of working with me, she told me to drop the course because of a chronic illness.
