She is a great teacher. Very fun and ubeat, and very funny. The class is easy and kind of boring, but she makes it fun.
SHE IS A GREAT TEACHER!
Very upbeat, and energetic. Keeps class interesting.
She's very nice & has funny stories. Likes to keep the class talking, & listens to what you have to say. If you've taken student success, it's the same exact thing with a little less work. I really recommend her.
The sweetest teacher in the world. Loves her job. Gives her home number because she cares about your grade. Final is an interview. If you show up, you get an A. She's a genuinely amazing person.
Genuine person who puts students at ease. Easy course, but also very informative.
Shes a really nice teacher and is really intelligent, she really cool. Hope her teaching last a long time.
shes COOl...! there is no way that you cant get an A in this class...shes flexible and interesting....DEF..take her...
Very laid back professor. If you forget to turn something in, she'll just tell you to bring it in later. A lot of assignments but they are all easy. It really helps with finding out about your major.
Really cool. Keeps class intresting and makes assignments that are worth doing. If you need to pick a major or learn about ur major this is a great class to take.
She is a great teacher! Keeps you interested in class. A lot of work and a lot of extra credit. You learn about your habits and how to change the bad ones so you can be successful. Don't take this class when you have a heavy load, but take this class!
This teacher is the best~ It is a lot of work i must admit but she knows how to teach. If you want to learn a lot about your self and have a good time in class take this course with this teacher! by the way she is loud and wild all in a good way never a dull moment!
best teacher ever. very easy....she is really layed back and doesnt give alot of work at all. we never meet in class, all of our stuf was e-mailed to us so that you dont have to go to school.DEF AWESOME TEACHER!
Very easy class and good teacher!
Interesting and funny
I Loved Her! Absolute sweetest person ever, has awesome cheesy fun personality. She cracks on herself always but shes hilarious. The class is easy. yes there is busy work but if your a freshman or even a sophomore TAKE HER! Helped me realize what i needed to do based on my own personality and learning skills to get through college and have a career
Awesome teacher! Fun and silly. Really helps you out for the final, pay attention to everything she says and print out any powerpoint she has on webct. Very understanding but come to class when she says its very important to. Some kids missed the first part of finals and didn't get the take home final. overall: wonderful experience!!!
you wont find a better teacher...funniest, craziest, slackest, and the most fun teacher at Valencia. this class is super easy and fun. Terri is the bestbestbest
Awesome professor! Make sure to buy the text book, you WILL use it. Just do the work and you will pass with an A!
If you want a fun teacher this is her.. she does expect you to do your work but its not hard. she gives you plenty of time to complete your work and even gives a lot of extra credit. she is amazing and i am so glad that i was part of her class
It was a hybrid class and I thought it was ok. She does give a lot of "busy" work but its easy and she works with you if you get behind. Take it if you need an elective credit! Easy A-B if you do your work.
She's the****. Take her if you have NO idea what you're doing with you're life and i promise she'll help you figure it out... AND she's REAAAAAAAAAALLY funny
Great teacher!! She does give some busy work, but it helps the grade. She is stern but funny and very interesting. I will miss her as a teacher :)
She is a great teacher. very helpful and super funny! she gives lots of busy work but it is not hard. A+
BESTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TAKE HERRR
THIS PROFESSOR IS THE BESTEST IN THE WORLD!!!! SHE IS AWESOME!!!
She is the best professor! Witty, funny, sweet! I didn't have to take Student Success but I wanted to. It's a great class! Lots of work but it's all about you and you learn a lot about yourself in her class. I highly suggest you take her class!
This professor is the best teacher out there. She is funny and really, really easy. Took student success online and passed with an A. She only gives one test which is the final exam and it is based on the logs you completed throughout the course. She is a very sweet and caring person. Will take her 100 time more if I could.
She is awesome,cool,sweet,it was a pleasure to have her as a proffesor. I thought this class to be boring at first, but I learn how to manage myself well, and so will you if you take her class.
I like her a lot! She gives easy work, her research papers are easy! take her!
She is very professional, respectful and considerate. She is fair her assignments help you organize and put your life and school affairs in order. I learned very much in her class, but I learned a lot from the way she presents herself. She is honest and not fake. I would take any and all of her classes if I could.
Student Success ONLINE fall 2010. GREAT Professor. EASY A!!! Very clear in what she wants and she really helps you understand yourself as a student, professional and person. MUST TAKE HER ONLINE!!! Alot of Extra credit!
She is an awesome professor!! She is extremely helpful and very funny. If you do all the work and turn it in you will be fine. I had a good time in this class and received an A.
VERY EASY....SUPER CLEAR....LOVED HER....FINAL IS BASICALLY A NOTEBOOK CHECK FOLLOW ALL HER GUIDELINES AND YOU WILL GET AN A
SHE IS GREAT
She is very easy if you do all the work if you don't do all the work you are hurting your self because all the work is a piece of cake.
Very easy class, do all the work and you will get an A. Very organized and extremely friendly. Would take again!
All you need to pass this class is common sense. Shes perfectly clear about what she expects out of you and she doesn't expect you to be a genius. Just do the work and keep up your stuff. DON'T THROW ANYTHING AWAY. Just make sure you check your grade a lot because she does make mistakes sometimes.(shell tell you from the start, shes dyslexic)
The class itself is boring, but she is a good professor. She is the easiest sls professor, especially from what I have heard about other professors. Take her! You won't regret it.
I love this professor. She's always in a good mood and easily puts the class in a good mood. Has a lot of corny jokes. I learned so many helpful things abut Valencia and college planning from this class. She's very clear about expectations and instructions for papers and assignments. Attendance is mandatory. No book. Take her take her take her!
Professor Carles is a pretty good professor, way too many assignments and group projects but an easy A and a cool teacher. I mean, if you're taking SLS & you don't know what you want to do with your life, take this class & you'll probably find out.
Super sweet professor, very helpful.. Lots of work but if you're even a bit unsure of what you want to do in your future, you'll surely find out by taking her class.
She was my first professor at Valencia and by far the best! I loved her class. She was so nice, so helpful even though I emailed her a billion times throughout the semester and always understanding. She gives out a lot of homework but its actually enjoyable to do. I would take her class again if I could.
Terry Rafter-Carles was an amazing teacher! She responds to email so fast and she is so kind. I was not excited about taking this class, but it really helped me ! The work is very easy but keeps you busy.
Professor Carles is very nice and clear with instructions. She makes learning fun. The group project is a short movie about a chapter from a certain book. The class is about you learning about yourself and what you want to do for a career.
Very clear on what she expects. Makes class funny and gives us short life lessons. What I learned from this class has helped me so much. Amazing professor , I would reccomend to everyone and half the time u are not even in class. She gives students "work days" to complete assignments during class time and attendance is optional.
Professor Carles is awesome. I've never met a professor that cares so much about her students. She is very lenient with assignments and really cares about the success of her students. Overall, do your work and you will have the opportunity to receive the "A" that you want. She is an amazing teacher
Professor Carles was by far one of the sweetest professors I have ever had. She's very caring for her students and lenient with assignments. She offers a lot of extra credit so it is almost impossible to get below an A. Attendance is absolutely mandatory. I absolutely loved her class and wish I could have have her again.
Great, great professor!! Really cares about students (event though she pretends she doesn't). Always available. She's even emailed me on weekends to answer questions. She will give you "the look" if she thinks you're not working up to your potential... even though she's old enough to be my mom, she's still cute.
If you are forced to take this pointless class, you might as well take it with her. She is super caring and fantastic at teaching. I feel like her teaching skills should be put towards a better class. Lots of homework, but tons of resources and clear instructions. Most of the work is online. Tons of extra credit - do it. I barely tried & passed.
She is just AMAZING!!!! absolutely loved her class! In her SLS class i was able to truly find what i wanted to do as my career.. If i didn't take her for SLS i would've continued to do a career that i would'nt have enoyed as much as the one i am going for now. She's just great. She'll even say hi and talk to you if she sees you.
Excellent professor, has even contacted me once out of class to remind about registering for Fall classes - that's why I'm posting this. Who does this? Really cares, grades tough (but so nice about it), give lots of help, always available, kind, funny, and just wants her students to be successful. You will love her. Got and A, but worked for it
Amazing professor. Provides a lot of extra credit oppurtunities. So no reason anyone should fail this class.
If you don't take Professor Carles for SLS, you're doing college wrong. She is AMAZING. I accidentally missed the first day of class, but she was kind and understanding to let me stay. She is funny, relatable, and she REALLY cares about her students, even outside of class. Her work is not difficult & she always posts reminders. Fun and stress-free!
Professor Carles is amazing and so funny. There is a lot of work to be done in this class, but all of the assignments are fairly easy. This is a class that should be taken your first semester at Valencia for sure.
she is very understanding. she knows how students need help and she will help them.
This class is A LOT of work that seems pointless, in my opinion, throughout the year but it all comes together with your final project/exam. Prof. Carles is provides good feedback on your work, which is great.
Easily the best professor I have had thus far. She gives fantastic feedback and grades within 1-3 days of the time you submitted your assignment. Many discussions, but they are all very interesting. This class is an easy A as her assignments are extremely easy and allow you really plan out your future! 11/10 would take again :)
She's pretty cool. She gives a lot of homework, but she gives 100 points of extra credit as a safety net. Beware the final and her laugh bc it's low key annoying, but she's really nice. Understanding, and if you turn in your work, you'll pass.
I took her class online as a dual enrollment student. I really enjoyed her class and I would definitely recommend to take her. I rarely communicated with her, but when I did she was very helpful and replied back quickly. She also was a bit of a harsh grader when it came to making sure you had the right MLA format and word count/sentences.
My favorite professor so far. She's hilarious and super helpful. She's always ready to help. She hardly does the boring lecture. This class is a lot if interacting with the teacher and the students.
Professor Carles is amazing. I honestly enjoy going to her class. We meet on Wednesdays and I always look forward to going. She makes college fun. The assignments are super easy and if you stay on top of your work and don't get lazy its an easy A! :)
Great teacher and also a great source she teaches you a lot about how to be successful in college
Prof. Carles was by far the best teacher ive ever had at Valencia. She genuinely wants the best for her students. She will make things so simply for you. If you didnt get an A in this class... you literally just didnt try. I completed her class with 104% so if you got less than an A... LOL
I LOVE this woman. She genuinely cares about you and is hilarious. I dont think I will EVER have a professor as amazing as her. Its Impossible to fail her class. I always looked forward to attending.
Take this Professor if you need to take New Student Experience (SLS 1122)!!!! I failed during my first semester because my teacher didnt care to be in class and neither did I lol A little scared retaking the same course but Professor Terry helped me soo much and she gives tons of extra credit opportunities and I got nothing less than an A!!
She offered a lot of extra credit opportunities and the final project is basically broken up throughout the semester. Shes highly organized and offers clear rubrics. Its impossible to not get an A.
Great professor! She is very organized and cares about your degree/academic pathway. Offers tons of extra credit and assignments are directed towards your goals. Best thing about this class is planning your future and having the help of Professor Rafter-Carles with questions/problems. No reason why someone should not get an A in this class!
OMG professor Carles is a wonderful woman. She really cares about if you pass and wants you to be on the right path so you can She gives tons of extra credit so there's no way you fail. she is passionate about her job and i wish other professors was this caring about you. It is a MUST that you grab her class and take it if you want an easy course.
I toke professor Carles as a hybrid class where we only meet on Wednesdays and she is a really great professor. she cares about you and your grades. she gives extra credit so i ended up with a 106% as my final grade very easy to talk to and she gives good feedback's. if you want an easy course, take her!!!
Easy A. Communicates very fast and grades quickly. Assignments were super easy but, some may take a little time. I would definitely recommend her. Great professor.
Easy A. Requires you to think about the future often. Most of her graded assignments are worksheets you have to fill in. She offers many extra credit options but her class is really easy so it's not needed.
This is my first term ever and I absolutely know for a fact that I enjoyed much more than expected thanks to her class!!
Professor Rafter-Carles was an excellent choice for my first ever Valencia DE course. She truly cares about her students success rates and offers a plethora of extra credit opportunities. Professor Rafter-Carles not only responds to emails well but her assignments are pretty easy. I passed with a 99.25% during the Fall 2019 Semester. 100% Recommend
Professor Terry is a wonderful SLS professor. i learned so much in her class. she is very funny, nice ,sweet, and a caring professor. I would definitely recommend anyone to take her. you will not regret it. she is just a sweetheart.
prof carles was an amazing professor. she was always willing to help. i thought class would be boring or useless but it turned out to be really good. i learned all about my future and how to navigate college. dont know why someone only gave her a 4 out of 5, she should get 10s!
A great professor to take! Amazing feedback, responds to emails quickly and helps you with whatever you need. Mostly personality quizzes, some discussions, etc. She's a good professor to take to get through this weird requirement!
Professor Carles was a great professor. This is my first time back in school after a long time and she made the transition very smooth for me. Always quick to respond to emails, and provides good feedback.
I took professor Carles online, but she was still a great professor. She was super nice and fair in her grading. She provides all the right resources for you to succeed in this course. She also offers almost 100 point in extra credit :O Highly recommend her. Super easy class.
This class helps you learn who you are by taking online personality, interest and strengths tests. The professor opens the entire class at the beginning. I was able to complete it in a few weeks. This professor really cares about her students. She is there for you and wants to help you succeed in getting your degree.
An incredibly kind and helpful professor. I took her online class and the only thing you need is the textbook digital access code for an assignment. The course overall was extremely helpful and assignments were straightforward. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities as well. I highly recommend this professor.
This class is super easy and helpful to learn things about yourself. She is super caring, sweet and truly cares about her students. She takes time to get to know every student. I recommend this class for sure!
This class is super easy and helpful to learn things about yourself. She is super caring, sweet and truly cares about her students. She takes time to get to know every student. I recommend this class for sure!!
She's great if you're looking for an easy class that you will get an A in. Her final consists of making a video about a letter from your future self, giving advice to someone applying to college. I literally did it all in 3 hours and still managed to get 100 on it. If you do something late she only marks off a few points. Plenty of extra credit too
Negatives: Get ready to spend about $100 in total on weird tests. Assignments are confusing. Harsh grader. Final is a 5-8 min video of yourself. Positives: A lot of extra grades. You will learn your pathway. 1-2 assignments per week (long assignments)
I loved taking the New Student class with Professor Carles! She is caring, inspirational, patient, and a clear communicator. I was not afraid to ask her questions when I was confused. She made getting through the modules fun by hiding Easter eggs in the reading material. I highly recommend taking the New Student class with her. :)
Few homework but each one is SO LONG. Quite easy just put in the Hardwork and do this class 1st not at last minute! I made it out with a 106.88% :) She let me SKIP the final project, gave SO MUCH extra credit there's no way you can fail. I learned a lot to be honest. Very sweet and gave me extension because of personal emergencies. TAKE NOW!
