I love Dr. John-Carbon. She brings a passion for the subject to every class and has clear grading criteria. If you pay attention and answer questions in class, you will collect extra points and do well on the quizzes and tests. The midterm and final are worth a huge amount of your grade, but she prepares you for them really well so don't worry.

Dr. Carbon is an amazing professor. She gives great feedback, and her lectures are very engaging. She prepares you extremely well for the exams and provides extra credit that can be used on homework, quizzes, and exams. She is a must-take professor! This has been my favorite course in college because of the classroom environment and Dr. Carbon!

I love Professor John-Carbon, she is my favorite person in the whole world! Her class is super easy if you follow along, and she will tell you what is on the exam! She makes sure every student understands what she is talking about, and if you don't, she will find a way to make sure you understand. She really goes above and beyond always!

Carbon is the GOAT. She cares so much about students, does her best to make class fun, and wants to see students succeed. But this class is not easy. As long as you show up, pay attention, and ask questions, there should be no reason for you to fail the class. Carbon is the best.

She does an amazing job getting students involved in every class. She really cares about students and their future and it's evident by her encouragement for students to push towards learning outside of their comfort zones. She is very knowledgable and brings a strong element of real world experience in her teaching which was extremely helpful. GOAT

She will cold call you, prod you for not responding "Yes, professor" if you just say "Yes". She often claims "we'll get out early today", yeah that's not happening. The class comes down to 3 exams worth 171 points each, get ready to study. She gives out 1 extra point per question. In a class of 90 people... how fun. Half the class is questions.

Have never written a RMP review before, but this professor deserves it. Prof. Carbon showed care and devotion to her students from day 1. Participation is important but if you are good at studying material for exams, feel free to skip here and there. At least once a week there are chapter quizzes which are fairly easy and easy way to get points.

She is a great teacher who genuinely cares about her students. She gives an extra credit point for participating, but you dont have to. Tuesday are quick quizzes with also a plus for extra credit and participation. She goes over the material really well and if you don't fully understand she will gladly go over it again and not judge you. Take Her!
