108C . Bueno Cachadi 3 Years Ago

Very easily offended, and rude when she's offended. If you disagree with her, you'd better keep it to yourself. Doesn't put in any effort to understand solutions different from the one she has in mind, when it comes to math or anything else. If you have to take a class with her, try to avoid any interpersonal relationship and you should be ok.

108C . Bueno Cachadi 4 Years Ago

This class was a great compliment to 108B. It will make 108B easier. She provided endless resources and very cool topics. However, now that lectures are going back irl, this course will probably not be as fun and will not cover as much information. For those taking 108B, I recommend to take this at the same time.

MATH108C . Bueno Cachadi 5 Years Ago

She was completely unprepared to teach this course in any capacity. There were weekly quizzes online that took 3 hours to do. The quizzes were poorly written, she did not have office hours. She'll ask for feedback but she only wants to hear that she's a good professor even when she fails to teach a course properly. Take math108c with anyone else.

Wonderful professor. I can tell she deeply cares about mathematics and her students' success.

Absolute GOAT! She is an interesting professor. Although I don't enjoy the content of Math CS 128 (Logic & Sets) that much, her class was great. She also gives the best advice: In the 1st quarter of my undergrad, I was rushing to take 111 and 118, but she stopped me. I didn't understand at the time, but later it proved that she was far-sighted.

Maribel was a very good and caring professor. She is very easy and friendly to talk to and is very helpful in the class and in general. This class was not especially hard but not a cake walk either. There is a lot of group work as the whole point of the class is to get you used to thinking mathematically, creatively and rigorously.
