About this rating

Raw average: 2.50/5 from 2 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.

She is the worst professor I have ever had. She is late to her own lectures and does not actually teach.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
Carolina, while scattered at times, is an amazing professor. Her lectures always left me inspired. She is also one of the few professors that realizes that talking at students for an hour and fifteen minutes isn't super productive. So, classes usually had some participatory component and were discussion-based.
