Disrespectful, non-helpful, purposefully ruderejices in student failure
inconsiderate, prejudice, makes you feel worthless
If you know what you want, she's great.
Is locked in her own world and truely could not care about you or your career path. She just wants to get you in and get you out. She is always booked up b/c we can't go to anyone else!

I've never had a real problem with her. She once bit my head off becuase I showed up w/out an appt. She is picky that way. Overall I would give her a C+ for her advising abilities.
Quite rude and too certain of herself.Comes off like she doesn't care about thestudents. And to the previous smiley face reviewer;how would one "know what they wanted" if they we're seeing an ADVISOR? She needs to lighten up some or find a n
It is obvious her divorce and lack of use for her law degree has left her bitter. After advising with her and finding out UHD's success rate it is obvious why so many rather drop out than deal with this wiked witch.
inconsiderate, prejudice, makes you feel worthless she made me want to quit school I really dislike this person after one meeting.
Very Rude.. made me want to quit school.
She enrolled me personally, nearly every semester. She answered all of my questions, no matter how dumb and we had good conversation. She always made me feel smart and I appreciate her greatly.
I have never had her for a professor only an Advisor. She is most definitely prejudice. But I after I basically told her off, we have been fine. She is extemely moody. One day you walk in she is fine, next 10 minutes she is off in left field.
I definitely agree that Cuevas has her preferences and it is usually with Hispanics. She may have a law degree however she is has been known to mis-advise several students. If you are getting her advise I suggest you double check with another source.
Dr. Cuevas does NOT favor Hispanics. She is unbiased. The first time I (a Hispanic also) was advised by her I was late, yes she was irritated and with good reason,once she realized that I had everything organized, she was very helpful.
Sorry but you are Hispanic so your views will be different than those that are not. I agree with those that mentioned that she is prejudice, I have heard this lady talk to some people. She's a nut case for sure (nice word for her).
She is very rude and has attitude problem. I do not like her as an advisor. Should be friendly not grumphy.
She advised me and I'm currently enrolled in her Business Law class. I don't have a problem with her at all. I don't think she's rude at all. She's very clear when explaining the course material. I'd take her for other course if possible. :)
Mean/grouchy and moody, but nice when she is having a good day. Just try to be on her good side and she will be very helpful. Teaching wise, have heard diff. stories. Ask around.

Every semester she change her advising standard, she definitly delay my graduation!!!!I was suppose to graduate long time ago if not for her unclear standard!!!
Needs to be constantly reminded that her job is to work FOR THE STUDENTS. If she keeps up with the mood swings she might end up unemployed. Lot’s of students are very disappointed that she represents the UHD institution.
To be an advisor she doesn't seem to be very concerned about the students...would much rather avoid her ill advise if possible.
I am so thankful to have someone care about me and realize the struggles of working full time and finishing a degree. She's been very helpful. First advisor I've met with that helped and left me feeling happy instead of in tears.
I think the last entry was made by Dr. C her self, because anyone who meet this woman in real life would aggree she is NOT nice, NOT helpful, Extremely RUDE, self-serving, and must get pleasure from others misfortune and suffering.
I have met her twice and had my paperwork together before seeing her. She seems to like organized students because she was professional when advising me.
She should not be an Advisor. She does not have the character. An advisor is a friend to students, she is not like that at all. She is very cold and unfeeling person.
Again, she gave no clear advising standard!!! Her advise is keeping changing changing &changing!!! so keep looking for other options if she only give you one~She is not that flaxable when comming out advise.
Did not like her at all. Unpleasant to deal with.
good memery and preparation, less professional to be an advisor.
I guess she picks what days she will be nice..one day she's smiles at you the next day she arrogant and unpleasant...I think she's just tired of her job.
Good memory,but only remeber the bad thing~~
One of the most admiable professors I have had. Her class was interesting and she is quite intelligent. The manner in which she carries herself and teaches her classes is very motivational, especially to the female students.
she is such a liar, she shouts at students, misbehaves and even hangs up on students and the next day she goes to the Dean to complain that the student did all those things.Worst advisor, doesn't know nothing and helping students is not in her list.
Should be fired. I'm a professional, I have never seen such a dis-interest in doing one's duty. Her attitude and lack of assistance has dis-suaded me from even attending UHD. She's rude, short and has no business being an advisor.
Definately should be fired! Horrible person as well as advisor. Extremely rude and unhelpful. Makes you feel stupid for asking certain questions. She enjoys the powertrip of controlling students' schedules, and does what she wants if she feels like it.
This person is terrible! Insensitive, uncaring, rude, and heartless are all understatements. Note to UHD administration: You NEED to do something about this advisor, SOON. I'm going to transfer to Sam Houston next semester b/c of this winch.
UHD DOES need to do something about this advisor. She was very rude to me in our one and ONLY meeting. I bluntly asked her why she was having an attitude with me and had to stand up for myself, b/c she was being so unprofessional. Afterwards she wouldnt meet with me and scheduled me a meeting with
This woman has major issues. She's not at all a "people person", and sure as hell has no business even thinking about advising anyone. Very belligerent, rude, and to bluntly put it, is down right ignorant. I swear a house is going to fall on her wicked a**.
Great Prof. Learn a great deal about Bus. Law - recommedn
Dr. Cuevas was extremely nice and helpful during class and I personally never had problems with her as an advisor. Very enthusiastic about what she teaches, funny and gives you plenty of chance to get extra points. Show up, do your work and you will do good. I would take her again.
Although not an advisor worth complimenting she seems to be less rushed than Tabacco and knows her work a little better than the other road runner that's always rushed.
An advisor's role is to ADVISE students by getting to know them and to NOT be judgemental in any way, shape, or form.Dr. Cuevas had NO interest in me or my recent accomplishments.I suggest everyone write to the Dean of the business school to express their concerns.REMEMBER-WE pay her salary.
I hope for her sake she is a better teacher than an advisor my experiences with her as my advisor have been horrible. Unfortunately, if you are a business major at UHD she is basically unavoidable. I would not risk taking her for a class don't trust those other posts from people who like her.
I agree with the other posts if you're not a people person why advise. Her demeanor towards servicing students is very unprofessional. If you have signed up for any of her classes get out now!!! She is crazy and has major issues.
Dr. Cuevas has always been very helpful and nice to me as an advisor. She is very professional and appreciates good students.I have never had any problems with her. I defenitely prefer her to other advisors at the College of Business.She is very sweet and wishes everyone the best.
Poor instructor and advisor to say the least. Not a people person by any stretch! Students hate her as much as she hates them. Avoid this animal!
This woman is unhappy and was rude to me when i was looking to get admitted into the business school, very unprofessional and downright a B I T C H, avoid her at all costs.
This is a very rude and unhappy woman. She has no business advising students. She needs to be advised on how to talk to people. After being advised by her I would not refer her class to anyone. Avoid this tiger as much as possible.
Bulldog
Terrible attitude. If you are being advised she makes you feel as though you are bothersome. She does not make you feel welcome and just wants to finish her list of appointments as soon as possible. If you are a Business major, you can not avoid her.
Carmen Cuevas is such a rude lady. She always feels like you are bothering her.
had a terrible attitde prob which she should go and fix it.
This lady is not approchable. As simple the problem might be, she won't help you. Very unhappy with her life. I tried to make her smile but, she almost eat me for lunch. Don't attempt to make jokes with her. if you see her run, run..
RUDE RUDE RUDE RUDE
I had an appt with her and wound up seeing Ms. Tabacco instead. Based on previous comments, it appears that I was very fortunate. Here's a point: This woman must be really full of herself in that she expects to be addressed as "Dr. Cuevas" when, according to everything I can find, she holds a law degree (JD) and not a PhD. Definitely a head case.
She was not helpful at all!!! I had to go to the Dean of the college because this woman was so unwilling to help. Fortunate for me the Dean was helpful and things were taken care of properly, no thanks to her!
her attitude was made in hell!!!!!!!!!!!!
This lady is a complete basket case. Full of herself to say the least. Funny, she probably pulls only $25K a year being an advisor. She's bitter because students despise her.
She is an ugly monster who needs to retire.
This lady is off the rocker! How rude can you be to the customer in a professional business environment without getting your azz booted out the door??!! What is this THING still doing at UHD after years of tormenting students?? Unwilling to help; fickle standards; lousy lousy attitude. GET RID OF HER!!!

She was actually not that bad for teaching as it sounds that she is for advising. She allowed us to get extra points on our test by allowing us to correct them and turn them back in. Her test were not that hard they were straight from her lectures and the book. I got a B in her class and didn't really read the charpters. She's ok don't be scared.
She's all right. I came into her class expecting the worst and it wasn't so. She is very good at teaching. Other teachers have you do a jury project, which isn't the case with her. A lot of the questions in her exams come from the book cases, which are easy to remember if you read through them. I hope I can get her for another class.
I have to say I found Dr. Cuevas very kind and helpful and I appreciated that. I'd also heard all the horror stories, but none of it was true in my case.
She is just the worst Adv. I have ever talked to.
Unhelpful to say the least.. she does not belong in the advising department at COB.. not willing to help students out or guide them.. expects students to figure everything out themselves.. does not take queires about business degree in a good way.. arrogant.. her best answer is that she doesn't have enough time or resources to answer the students!
Cuevas was the nicest person ever. She helped me with my degree plan and ensured I was taking what I needed to graduate in the shortest amount of time. My friend also had a good experience. She teaches BA 3301 and plan to take it with her. Great experience!
Everything they say is true! I was shocked and astonished at the attitude Dr. Cuevas had in my first encounter with her. I am the nicest person to everyone I meet at UHD and was astonished that people on the faculty who deal with students act in this manner. I would not register for a class she is teaching even if it was my last.
Either the people here are extremely sensitive or they just don't TCB....because Dr. Cuevas is OUTSTANDING. And I'm not even Acing her class! She knows what the heck she's talking about, but you have to come to class, cause the text is hard to comprehend alone...that's where I feel off. But yeah she is GREAT!!!
I took her class FALL06 & really enjoyed it. She knows the material & explains everything very well. She is a great teacher, take her class and you will really learn something. Class is hard bc it requires a lot of reading so keep up w/it & you'll do fine.
Not only is she one of the best professors @UHD, but she is very intelligent, professional, makes this class interesting. She treats students like College students. What she lectures about is important, especially in the real world. Learn now so you can speak up later
Academic Advising: Sometimes she was helpful, other times she was a b***h. She liked to talk down to you to make you feel stupid. I just feel there are people running around in life with issues. Not my problem, just used Ms. Tabacco instead. With the notoriety she has, why would the school still tolerate this?
Dr. Cuevas is awesome. Hands out quizzes that are very similar to the exams. Final exam counts 40% while other three tests are only 10%. Very good teacher, would take again
Textbook & keeping up with the reading is a must! She is a great professor & makes the class very interesting. Pop quizzes & HW handouts are very helpful for the test. Make sure to keep all handouts, quizzes & test as she will ask for them at the end of the semester. Curves test.
Worst Advisor, Stay away from her. She never have time for student and She makes you feel stupid. I don't know why Uhd is still keeping such type of Arogant and stupid person as the advisor.
ALL NICE COMMENTS ABOUT THIS LADY ARE A LIE!!THEY MUST BE ENTERED BY HER OR SOMETHING!SHE IS MORE THAN RUDE BY PHONE AND IN PERSON!SHE DOES MAKE YOU FEEL STUPID INSTEAD OF BEING HELPFUL!!!IM ALSO WONDERING WHY IS SHE THE ADVISING DIRECTOR?!?!SHE DOESNT KNOW WHAT ADVISING IS!!!IM SO AFRAID TO CONTACT THE ADV. OFFICE NOW!! I HOPE UHD FIRES HER SOON!!
This whole department of cob is run by worst, low-class, unqualified and stupid hypocrat. They are there not to help students sucess rather make them fail. Worst people you can find in your life. They may refer to time, rules and resources, but that is just an excuse. They know what they doing. They are just acting stupid and low-class.
Dr Cuevas is an excellent professor. She teaches so that you can understand but you MUST read the book. If you don't read, the class will be difficult. There is a lot of reading assignments but they are necessary to understand the material. I would take her again.
she is very unhelpful, arogant, and often lies.
To me, she is a great professor. The way she explains every topic is clear and to the point and it is easy to understand what she is saying. Tests and quizzes are alright, read the book.I learned a lot in her class. She wants you to have a binder ready @ end of the semester.Although I havn't been advised by her I don't know what to say about that.
She might be good at her class. But for advising she is rude and un-qualified. She won't listen to you. The world rotates around her. She is the centre of world. Total hipocrat. stay away.
Rude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Avoid her!!!
She is a wonderful teacher and advisor. She has many real life experiences to share and really cares about her students! Do not believe what others say about her. She is stern, but Hello! this is college not elementary! You have to really read the book for her tests, and study her handouts! Listen to her advising, she knows her stuff! She's my Fav!
I've had the unfortunate luck of dealing with Dr. Cuevas for advising & I found her to be unprofessional,short tempered, rude, arrogant and down right vile.I'm sure that what she does is important but she acts like she is God. She either hates students or herself. Either way, she is a danger to the educational process.
Outdated. she acts like a comunist dictator. she things that she is a good and students are her servants. UHD needs to make the advising office about advising students. Not for Cuevas to feed her psycho ego on by acting important with students.
UHD needs to replace her with a Director that cares for students. Cuevas only knows how to say "you can?t" and discourage students. She thinks she is a high ranked General and has no understanding or consideration for the needs of students. Treats all students as they are retarded, without any respect even if they proved to gave perfect grades.
Arrogant. From the first word, sheis rude and attacking. It's like a battle every time. She does everything but advise students. COB is showing to be hypocritical, teaching us importance of ethics, respect, and efficiency while keeping cuevas on position after years of torture she has shown to her students. My friends graduated 5 years ago and say the dame thing. Your life would be much better if you never had to face her.
somebody in UHD management needs to wake up and review her performance. only thing she does not do, is to help advise students. useless and acts like she owns the school and students.
I've not taken a class w/her & dont want to either!I needed a BA3350 apprv'd 4 SumI, she said I couldn't bc i had to take them n the order they're n UHD catalouge, I told that I take classes acc'd 2 my sched & tht there has never been a prob, she didn't care & said "sorry" I couldn't take a class in the summer, another advisor has apprv'd my course
Useless. Her mission seems to be to try and intimidate students. Remind her that her job is to assist students, to be at their service. That's it!!!
I have had a few unfortunately unpleasant encounters with her as counselor and Associate Dean of the COB. From the manner in which the COB GPA change was handled to the passive aggressive emails she responds with, I feel it fair to say there is/has been little regard given to the needs of current UHD COB students.
Well, everybody can change. Dr. Cuevas has been helpful. Actually, she is the most helpful out of the entire staff of COB you (the student) have to be persistent.
I addressed her as "Ms Cuevas" in an informal email. She promptly responded that she does not appreciate this;she worked very hard for her titles and degrees. Umm...really? She must be miserable with where her degrees haven't taken her. Be sure to address her as Dr. Cuevas, PhD of COB Advising. Maybe she would be less bitter if it were UH/Rice?
Carmen Cuevas is probably the most condescending person that I have ever had to encounter.As an assistant dean, you would think that a person needs more compassion.She has NONE. Instead of wanting to do well in school, she has pretty much shot my confidence level from an 8 to a 4.I hope that she learns to be more patient when dealing with students.
One word... HORRIBLE!!!!!!
She is perhaps the most unprofessional person I have ever had to deal with. I find it amusing that UHD has closed open enrollment with the hope of appealing to higher level students (academically). This is amusing because it will never happen unless UHD and COB address the unprofessional attitudes of their administrative staff.
DR. Carmen Cuevas has a horrible attitude when answering student's questions.
I just read a whole bunch of these comments and find most of them to be what i came here to write! omg! how is she still here after years and still act the same way she does, not only unprofessional but also very rude! I wonder what I've done to make her act that way but after reading this, I'm actually not the only one she is rude toward.
Dr. Cuevas was difficult to work with. She specifically told me one thing and then told me something completely different later on. Get everything in writing. She acted pretty unprofessionally when she told me that a former employee acted outside their authority and threatened not to honor what they did. Beware.
I am sure that everyone that has had to come to her was because of serious matters. Please don't think she will care. It's almost like she smiles when she knows you are helpless. I choose to go to UHD because I am paying for my school and it is what I can afford. I am not sure if the title of Dr, has desensitized her. She is rude and condescending.
