MATHCS108B . 1 Year, 8 Months Ago

Maribel introduces lots of advanced topics in MathCS108B. It is a difficult class but you will learn a lot. She is helpful and willing to talk about anything like hw problems, time management, career goals, etc during office hours. The inquiry-based problems could be quite challenging but you don't need to submit them.

Very well-prepared lectures with lots of homework. Weekly quizzes are mandatory but not hard. You need to read lots of notes in order to keep pace with the class and they might not be easy to understand. Maribel's Math CS108AB might be among the most difficult undergraduate math classes in the CCS math department. Generate grader though

108C . 2 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 . 3 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.

Maribel is a great professor who really cares about students. She is a bit of a tough grader and I think that makes people have a bad opinion about her, but her feedback is always constructive. I certainly feel like I benefited from her class.

MATH108C . 4 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.

Professor bueno is extremely condescending and arrogant. She will be nice at times, then be cruel and say demeaning things to your face, apologize for it, then do this cycle all over again. Sometimes professors just are not the best to work with students. She is one of them.

Easy A, Unclear grading criteria that changes throughout the quarter, relatively easy questions on test that come directly from the homeworks, take this professor! don't get too far behind

MATH4B . 5 Years Ago

She is a decent professor but her grading system is all over the place. Grading system should be laid out nice and clear at the beginning of the quarter and amendments should not be made any later than half way through the course. All students should get the same opportunity from the beginning but that is not the case here.

Professors Bueno really cares about her student's success and encourages you to come to office hours so you can better understand the material. I'm sitting at a B average right now, and it isn't all that difficult if you go to lecture and read. Lectures were not mandatory but section was.

Doing the homework wrong for twice, you get zero points for the question. Textbook costs 100 dollars.

Maribel is an amazing professor that really cares for her students and wants to see each one succeed. There is a lot of homework in her class, but it is important to complete each assignment for a grade and to do well on the midterms.

Maribel is the best math prof. at ucsb. Largest workload out of any math class i've taken. But if you are willing to work, you will learn an incredible amount. Her classes prepared me to succeed in upper div math. She is extremely caring, compassionate, and helpful (go to office hours). Highly recommend to anyone who is interested in mathematics.

MATH182 . 6 Years Ago

Maribel is amazing. She listens to students and wants them to take charge. Math 182 is unlike any other class I've taken at UCSB. We focused on topics the class was interested in and we had choices so we could decide what we wanted to learn more about. Most of our grade was attendance and homework (graded for completion) and the group project final

Prof. Bueno is a fantastic professor. She's excellent at explaining concepts, she's funny, and she cares about her students. Her classes are tough, but she is always supportive and willing to answer questions. If you work hard you'll do well. She is very passionate about her field of study and brings that enthusiasm with her into the classroom.

really cares about her students & is willing to work with them (at least for ccs), was very understanding of extenuating circumstances. if you participate in lectures & go to office hours she will take note & it will contribute positively to your grade. her classes are difficult but I honestly love her

You will learn a lot in her classes if you work. It is not an easy A but it is worth it.

MATH108A . 8 Years Ago

She was misguiding in the requirements for the class. Graded harshly. Would not listen to concerns about the grade & would not let you talk to the graders. Also, just bad at explaining things & has sloppy-to-no written lesson plans. If you want to spend an unreasonable amount of time on a class to get an 'okay' grade &not retain anything take her.
