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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.
