Reviews of professor Karina Chavarria

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I liked her for writing in the social sciences. She avoids boring lectures by allowing groups to do writing or discuss readings. You work on the final paper in pieces through the whole semester which is helpful and she provides feedback on drafts before it is graded! She is trying to prep you for capstone. Don't be afraid to ask questions.

She is caring and available if we need help. She encourages us to engage not only in her class but also in school events and resources. I liked and enjoyed taking this class and it was the most favorite one in the semester!

Not a bad writing class professor, she's better than most writing class professors in Campus. I finally fixed my bad grade from Rachel . She loves her students too, always tries to communicate with them and caring about immigration. I will recommend you to take her class!

Her lectures are long and a little boring. You need to read the articles and book to participate in the discussion. She likes group discussion. Overall, she is not a tough grader and she truly cares for her students. I would love to take another class with her! SHE'S AMAZING!

Readings! class is broken into small groups so you have to be prepared The term is almost over and we are just starting to be graded on assignments. That is tough because you dont know you need to improve until the term is almost over. Good questions posed in powerpoint but you have to answer on your own, no way to know if youre on the right track

This class was online and you definitely need to attend or watch the zoom lectures to understand the main concepts for the course. This is important because your grade revolves around participation and papers. The papers directly pull from themes discussed in class. She is always willing to help you improve your writing if you ask for help.

Very unorganized! Assigns things out of no where and very last minute. Is slow at communicating with students, especially during an emergency. She always runs out of time during class. ALWAYS!

I have taken Prof. Chavarria for multiple courses and they all are formatted in similar ways. Her classes are difficult, just read the tags. The assigned papers are especially difficult. However, learning in all of these classes are rewarding and changed how I think about everyday life. 

If you can take the work load, you will really get a lot out
