No Comments
Ms. Alverez is a great teacher !!!!! She is the best english teacher that IRCC has to offer. Show up to class and try in the class and there is no reason why you can't get at least a B in the class. Easy to talk to and all ways willing to help. And she tries to make the class fun so your not falling asleep.
From what I've heard she's a good teacher in the classroom. I took her online ENC1102 class and it was horrible. It took her weeks to respond to emails, and by the time she did the assignment was already due so it was no help. She is pretty lenient when it comes to due dates however. I'd just suggest taking her in the classroom, not online.
Very uderstanding and always willing to help!
Ms. Alvarez is very helpful and patient. She's really good at explaining what a story or poem means, and her teaching techniques make class fun. She will also review your essays for you before the due date so that you can get the best grade possible.
I did not like Alvarez. She took weeks to respond to e-mails and to grade essays. When you play the jeopardy review game, she was very unfair when it came to rewarding bonus points. She abbreviates alot.
GREAT TEACHER...HIGHLY RECOMMEND
great teacher..highly recommend her
She's a good teacher. Seems like she had a lot on her plate, but was always willing to help. Wasn't very interested in the class, although I don't like english. Kinda of a hard essay grader, but no one's perfect. Would recomend her, overall. Pretty easy class. Do your best to show up though.
Great Teacher, gives way to much Info for you to fail and even if you have some problems she'll help you break it down and make things more clear from you, she''s more of a book worm kinda teacher that also plays WOW so dont freak if she dosent reply to you messages just bring it up in calss and she'll be cool with you
great teacher
SHe is very nice, easy going, and flexible.
She is an incredible teacher! I LOVE her teaching style and her friendly nature. Alvarez is always willing to help and makes sure everyone can clearly understand the concepts. The lowest grade I got in this class, on any assignment was a 93 percent. She is phenomonal and makes English interesting. I HIGHLY recommend her! TAKE ALVAREZ!
She was somewhat easy, and very lenient. I would reccomned her for any english class.
She is an awesome teacher! Very willing to help, you can email her anytime and it is usually a fast reply. She makes class interesting so no one sleeps. Took her for 1101 also.. Great teacher. HIGHLY recommend her for any english class.
Best ENC teacher @ IRCC. Helpful, clear, and grades fair.
an amazing teacher
I took her online class. Amazing Professor! She is always willing to help you improve. Fair grader!! No busywork. Responds quickly to e-mails or phone calls. I would totally recommend her to anyone!
Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Miss Alverez is, by far, one of the best teachers I had. She takes her time during and after class period to help those in need. She also allow time to complete assignment if needed. Do your self a favor and accept her as a teacher.
Excellent professor, Very helpful, and she very understanding about missing assignments!!!!
Prof. Alvarez is the best English I've ever met. She breaks literature to a level we can understand and do our assignments on. She's very helpful, and she will you enough time to complete your assignments. Take Prof. Alvarez and you won't regret at all, don't be late for class or she will penalize you!
Best english teacher! took enc1101 with someone else and got a B - took enc1102 with alvarez and got an A! take her!
totally awsome, is dedicated to the idea of individual learning tactics. probebly the nicest woman on campus...its just a shame she doesnt have more classes on the main campus
Awesome teacher, she expects a lot of work but provides the same amount of help. I hate english and got an A in her class and it wasn't easy. If you hate English i suggest taking her...you may still hate it but you will like the class and if you pass it will be YOUR FAULT.
Great teacher! She makes things really easy and she grades essays very leniently. I got all A's on my essays and that is with putting it off to the last minute and not putting all my effort into it. She's also very helpful and will help you fix anything that you miss or something that you have a question about. Taking her again for Eng Comp 2.
There is not a better ENC prof. out there.She is super nice and tries to make you have fun in class. Not a grammar Nazi. There is:4 essay's, 1 is a research paper, which is a bit of work, a midterm and a final which she gives a very good study guide for. I strongly recommend this prof. As good as it gets as English goes.
This prof is awesome!!! Extremely helpful and is always available to answer questions.Essays are easy, and only 2 pages she also grades fairly. I am taking her again for ENC 1102 she was GREAT!!
EZ! she goes over everything, emphasizes what's on the tests, gives you chances to make up papers/choose your own topics. if you like english and are good at it, this class is a breeze. reviews are posted online and they ARE the midterm/final (just fill-in-the-blank version). also, so loves cats. write about cats.
She is a OK teacher kind of short on her communication skills with students during conversations in her office or on the phone. The final was hard because some of the questions we never learned in class. The study guide took too long to fill in the blanks so it was hard to study after all.Takes too long to respond emails.
She is the best lady to teach English; she shows she care, and she is easy to get along with. I would take her again if had to.
All you have to do is the work and go to class and you will not have a problem. Believe me she was not too picky about the papers and gives extra credit.
She is a good teacher, pretty leanient and not a harsh grader. The syllabus is a bit confusing, but she's very helpful. Didn't have too many essays and were given plenty of time. TAKE HER !
Took this class online and it was not the worlds greatest. I would be very careful taking her class on line. She took forever answering emails and putting grades up. Syllabus and grading rubrics were really confusing. She sounds like a good teacher...in person.
Really leniant with assignments. Really nice with anything you need. Helpful and willing to give you extra credit. She tries to be funny and I honestly thought she was.
Prof Alvarez changed my life. Great teacher. Extremely cheerful and positive. If I could take her again I would do it in a heartbeat. Her assignments are easy because she is SO helpful!!
Best English teacher, very helpful. She's very positive and funny. I would take her again.
Great teacher! Took 1101 with McMahon & got a B, Took Alvarez for 1102 & got an A! TAKE HER!
AMAZING!!! Best teacher ever, took her for ENC1102 as well and would not have passed without her. If you don't pass it is because you did not do any work, even if you do poor on a paper she will help you to make it better. I loved having her and wishing I could take more of her classes. Don't pass up the chance of having an outstanding professor!!!
not excited about taking this class but i had her for 1101 and she was still consistent, nice, funny, understanding, and always willing to help. would def recom to anyone who has to take 1102
Best teacher I have ever had!!! She has a fun and effective way of teaching. Her test reviews are a blast! Very helpful and gives plenty of extra credit opportunities. Not too picky on papers. She used the book for the first half of the class, then stopped. Easy Class if you show up and put a little effort in. I strongly recommend this Professor.
she is one of the best teacher i've ever had in my all times going to school. i will recommend her to anyone who is hungry for a big fat A
great
understanding, helpful teacher. class was easy, she spells out what she wants from her students and gives extra credit opportunities. great class.
SHE IS A GOOD INSTRUCTOR. RECOMMENED!!!
I would NOT recommend her, she is unorganized and she procrastinate with grading papers. When she lectures she somehow manage to start scattering. When she finally grades the work she always find a flaw so that you don't get the A that you worked hard for.
Ms Alverez is the best! If you have to take ENC 1102 take her. She stays sfter clss with you if you need her too and will go over rough draft of paper as many times as you ask here too. If you do the work you will pass with a good grade. Her test are easy as well. Great teacher!!
Camila Alvarez is extremely nice and comprehensive.
Being that I took 6 years off after high school I was nervous about jumping back in to writing papers but Ms. Alvarez was very helpful, you can turn in a rough draft paper a week prior to the final draft and she will give you the chance to correct and errors you may have and she gives several extra credit opportunities overall great class.
I did not like her class at all since day 1! She procrastinates all the time and takes forever grading papers. We did about 4 group work. I don't know why I spent money for that class, it was a waste of time and money! -_-
Prof. Alvarez is awesome. Her class is simple but her essays are a little hard. You HAVE to think... which overall makes you a better writer. I took her for ENC1101 AND ENC1102. That's how awesome she is. She wants everyone to succeed.
Miss Alvarez is an awesome teacher. Very helpful, pleasant, knowledgeable and will give assistance when needed. I took her for both classes Enc1101 & Enc 1102.
Online class is hard because there's little to no communication. She has high expectations and gives no direction outside of worksheetd. I would not choose her for online.
She is really nice and has passion for her work. I took this class last yr in 2011, I met the love of my life in that class... he sat next to me.
The Best English teacher I had, She really enjoy teaching I took her in 2009 and I can still remember how wonderful she is
She is so sweet! I did not have a problem with her. There is three essays, many online discussions, a midterm, a final, and a research blog. The research blog is the biggest thing. Do not procrastinate!
I am so grateful to have taken Ms. Alvarez. She is very helpful during class and without her help I would not have got a B in the class. I say that class is mandatory if you do not want to fall behind. Youd should definitely pass the class if you do ALL the assignments and fill out study guides for midterm and final.
this teacher is awesome. there was a total of 4 essays. first one is a descriptive and she grades it easily. the second is a research one but its easy and the 3rd is an in class compare and contrast that she lets you prepare for ahead of time. lastly there is a persuasive essay and one presentation. also she lets you redo any essay if you want.
Wonderful teacher , I love her !! Grades she only gives is A's
This class is a part online and in-class, class. For those taht can not use a computer DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Another thing, BE WARNED IF YOU WORK FULL TIME OR ARE A VERY BUSY PERSON DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! I like Mrs. A's class but it had too many unnecessary assignment.For your midterm and final, make sure you do the study guides and jeopardy.
She was a wonderful professor.this class was so easy and if you study and do good on the essays you'll receive an A !! MUST TAKE
Ms. Alvarez is amazing! She looks out for her students, and does everything she can to help you pass her class. She gives you everything you need to excel and pass. Take her, you won't regret it!
Great professor, she is very helpful, understanding, and kind. When she teaches in class it can get very slooowwww and boooorrrinnggg but stick with it because it's a very easy class if you stay on top of the work she gives. Tests are easy if you study. Huge research blog at end of semester but ample time to complete. Highly recommended!
Really nice and helpful if you ask for help. Grades pretty easy on essays if you do everything that's suppose to be in it. Tests aren't bad if you pay attention and study a little.
Very odd personality but great teacher. There were 3 major essays, one in class essay, and an oral presentation. A midterm, and Final Exam. That's about it. She helped a lot and gave extra credit too. I recommend her. Some may like her, others probably not. But, I got an A. As long as you TRY you'll pass her class. And show up too!!
Very helpful teacher! She won't make you feel less than what you are and she is very approachable! There are 4 essays, some online quizzes( lets you take them over until you get a good grade), and an oral presentation. Her grading on essays can be a bit tough sometimes, but otherwise an easy class. Would recommend to anyone looking to pass English!
I had perfect A's throughout her class and even had my research paper checked with the ASC lab. They loved it and yet somehow I got a B? Hmmm...
You will love her! She is super sweet and nice! She is very lenient with the work, she does work with you, and actually cares about you.
Shes such a great teacher. I would recommend her. If you need help, you can count on her. If you reach out to her, she honestly cares and will help you through.
Prof. Alvarez is awesome. This is a writing class and I am a horrible writer. She explains everything that is expected of you and will give you helpful feedback and then allow you to redo if you want a better grade. She has you work together in class so pick a good group to work with. Overall a great teacher to have if you struggle in English.
GREAT TEACHER! pretty easy class. instead of a final essay, she maes you do a blog. super easy A.
Great teacher I would take her again. There is a few essays like normal. She gives you all of the information you need. She is very clear and there to answer your emails right away. attendance isn't mandatory but you want to go to get the answers for your midterm and final. I enjoyed every class with her.
Best ENC1101 professor at Indian River. Gives lots of feedback on essays and also lets you rewrite them for higher grade. Take her in class, you won't be disappointed.
She is a very tough grader so if you are not the best writer & just taking this class becuz its required I wouldn't take her. Not very clear on what she expects and not good at explaining how to fix problem. Takes forever to grade papers only 2 days left of the semester & still havent gotten my last 2 paper grades so no idea about my final grade !
Prof. Alvarez is the best english professor I have had, she gives you everything you need for a good essay, and will even go over it with you, she gives out study guides, and loves feedback from her students. She tries as hard as she can to give students the chance to get an A. She cares how her students are, and is extremely flexible. MUST TAKE.
I wouldn't take her online. I would send her emails throughout the semester and she would never reply. She graded 34 of the essays the last week of the semester so there was no way to know what she expected. If you work hard and take the time to see her during office hours you will get an A or B, as i did. She simply doesn't communicate well.
Essays accounted for 60% of the overall grade. You will write a total of 5 essays throughout the entirety of the semester. She goes over Power Points discussing the writing techniques she expects to see in your essay. These lectures were exceptionally confusing, but if you are good at writing essays, you should be fine. She allows you to fix them.
She will work with you and your schedule as long as you show you're interested in the class and participate in group activities. Very nice and helpful
Very nice. Allows you to make up and redo quizzes and essays. If you get confused make sure you tell her. She is willing to work with you. She will work with you as long as you show you're interested.
She is Awesome. She is one of the nicest teachers that I've had in while. She genuinely cares about you, your grade, and what you learned. She helps you at your own pace. If you miss an assignment, just tell her and she'll gladly help as much a possible.
DE Student: Ms. Alvarez is a very easy going teacher. She is extremely caring and has a passion for what she does. She will work with you for any issues you have (and that includes extending deadlines). I highly recommend her for anyone that wants to easily pass.
She is willing to go out of her way to accommodate special circumstances and makes sure everyone understands the assignment. She makes herself available through phone, texting, emailing and even one on one appointments by request.
Very neat class, and she's a great teacher. The structure of the class is very based on independance, and you don't even have to read EVERY story listed in the syllabus, it's just important that you read and analyze ENOUGH of them, so that flexibility is nice. She was very understanding when I had a mishap with an online portion of an assignment.
Too much unnecessary work. Bad online teacher. Never gives direction/replies to students and never grades. so you cant improve or learn. i dont think she even bothers to log in online until the end of the semester. How can you learn from a teacher who doesn't teach? FAR TOO MUCH homework due in short amounts of time.
I liked this professor. If you have any problems she's easy to talk to after class. She will let you make u any assignment and give you full credit. She claims she's a hard grader but she grades accordingly which I think she's an easy grader. I find her very outgoing and nice! I 100% recommend taking her. The only think to worry about is due MLA.
Excellent learning information, but not enought teacher and student communication. Lots of homework.
Very confusing assignments, doesnt explain what to do and doesnt reply promptly. Book is required but all the stories are online.
Blended course. Enjoyable and engaging. The course is standard with three research papers/literary criticisms and two tests. Professor is difficult to get a hold of outside of classroom hours (avg reply time is 48 hours), but if you stay after, she'll spend plenty time to help. There are mandatory group projects. Can be easy to pass with effort.
Worst teacher I have taken!!!! This class is very simple and easy. However she makes the class elaborate and over complicated. Her grading scale is awful. I have always been a dedicated student with good grades. That being said i find this class a struggle. She is also extremely unorganized. Overall i would not recommend her.
Shes a great professor. Very understanding and entertaining. You can tell she knows a lot about English/ Literature. I would definitely take her again.
Professor Alvarez was truly outstanding and one of the best instructors I have ever had. She is very understanding and will try her hardest to work around your schedule. She gives amazing feedback and does an amazing job listening to what her class wants. I would 100% take her class again.
This class is a lot of work dont take unless you enjoy doing a bunch of long confusing projects
I don't recommend. She doesn't communicate well. I would email her and ask specific questions expecting a specific response and i would get my response within after 3+ days, and she would not even answer my questions specifically so i was left even more confused. She is also very unorganized and does not have clear instructions for assignments.
She answered all my messages super quickly and was really understanding during difficult times. As long as you complete the assigned work and try your hardest, you should be able to pass.
I don't understand why there are any bad reviews about Dr. Alvarez. If I could take her for every single class, I totally would. She is by far the best professor that I have ever had. She is so sweet and caring, and always goes out of her way to help students, including myself. She gives extra credit, so that's a plus. Love her! Amazing professor!
I was falling behind in my online class and she helped and was very understanding! Passed with a high B
Wow, Professor Alvarez was absolutely amazing. She responded quickly for the most part. Gives very good feedback to her students on all work. If you pay attention and take notes during her class you should pass. Very nice woman, you can definitely tell she cares about the students (not an understatement) She sets to bar high for other professors.
Honestly shes an amazing person. She cares about your grade and work. Just talk to her if you need help. Explains everything if you need. Can be a hard grader if you dont follow directions. You can makeup work if not happy with grade. Gives little happy grades too. I recommend. 2nd time Ive taken her!!
So, I know I put down "lots of homework" but she is seriously a very very cool professor. I did not do well on my PERT test and had to take 1101 with Integrated reading and writing which was also awesome. She truly cares about her students and If you do not get something she will definitely help you with it.
The best professor I have ever had. She graded papers quickly and gave amazing and helpful feedback on them. She responds to emails pretty quickly and she is extremely caring/understanding. Seriously, take her, don't even think twice about it.
Dr. Alvarez is wonderful. She is very caring and wants the class to succeed. The essays are not easy but you just need to put in the effort and learn from the feedback she gives. A few times through the course I said how I hated the class, but when it comes down to it, she is great and you will benefit from taking her courses. Highly recommend!
Although this was a online class Dr. Alvarez provided lots of reassurance and excellent feed back which kept me encouraged, and inspired to keep making an effort. I leave her class feeling that I am a better writer, thinker, and reader, which are all essential to succeed in college.
Professor Alvarez is such a great professor she really helps her students to pass her class
She was by far one of the best English teachers I have ever had. She was always there if I needed any help. She also gave great feedback!
Mr. Alverez is the best professor ever, literally love this woman!!!! her class was so easy and she gave great feedback. She does assignments lots of work and there is a quiz every week, which can be very difficult if you don't study. if you don't pass the quiz she gives you 6 more tries to pass it. she answers all your questions and is caring
Professor Alvarez is the best professor I have ever had at IRSC. She cares deeply about her students and wants everyone to succeed, and she gives amazing feedback on all our work. She responds almost immediately to any emails or texts, and is always looking to help you out. The class is a lot of fun too, actually my favorite class at IRSC!
I had Professor Alvarez and she is amazing, out of the many classes I have taken she is one of the only professors who I feel I have learnt something from. She is super caring, understanding, and gives amazing feedback. The readings she has you do and essays she gives to write are pieces that are still relevant today.
I took Dr. Alvarez for summer B online. I had 10 modules in total and 2 modules were due each week. it was so much work for only a month and 2 weeks. she is not a bad professor and she seems like she cares a lot and gives helpful feedback. i would definitely recommend her for a regular semester not summer.
Dr.Alvarez is honestly a good teacher that actually cares about her students. She takes the time to help you understand the lesson and she actually gives you good feedback on your work. Grading is reasonable and she is understanding. Overall, I highly recommend Dr.Alvarez, she is actually good at her job.
Professor Camilia Alvarez is an amazing English Professor. Dr. Alvarez is very patient and forgiving. She made me excited and made me happy to learn English1101. Highly Recommend
