Comment:

She came in like a wrecking ball, and wrecked my semester. Her .5 credit class was a nightmare. She is an extremely harsh grader who doesn't give a toot about her students and is frustrated with her life. But... she knows Math.

Comment:

What I couldn't stand is how she would NEVER answer your question. She would always say "look in the book" or "I said that earlier". Sometimes she would simply ignore you. The most shamelessly unhelpful and rude teacher I've ever had. Her tests were hard but graded fairly.

Don't take her class! Her final exam was pretty hard and refused to curve. She repeated everything in textbook but didn't explain them. She is the worst professor that I met in Bucknell.

Rude and hard to understand. Has high expectations of her students. Expects students to spend close to 20 hours outside of class studying / working. Harsh grader. Do not take this professor

She has an accent but is almost always easily understood. She grades VERY hard on the projects, but other assignments are alright.

Comment:

She definitely knows statistics, but she is kind of rude when it comes to getting that info to her students. In addition, I was sometimes too tired to make the mental effort to sort through her phrasing of things...her accent was a bit of a problem. She's very helpful outside of class. Homework is straightforward. Tests are relatively easy.

Comment:

The worst professor I've had at Bucknell by a long-shot. Not only is she difficult to understand, she is condescending to students, to the point of bordering on rude. She grades on an impossible scale. In a class of 40, not a single person got over an 89 on an exam and she refused to curve it. Avoid her at all costs, she is absolutely terrible.

She is very hard to understand because english is not her first language. It isn't that hard but it is extremely boring.

Comment:

Honestly, worse teacher I have ever had. One time she threw a tantrum when everyone was dozing off in her class. I've seen her yell at students who don't understand her explanations of things and ask clarifying questions. She can be nice outside of class, but if she's your professor...that's not too helpful.

Comment:

Acuna is THAT professor that every school has. She is condescending if you ask questions, difficult to understand and she gives out difficult exams in my opinion. She takes off a lot for minor mistakes. Stay away from her as I read the comments on this site before taking her class and thought that it couldn't be as bad as people said... she was

Comment:

Honestly, she's not that bad. Her tests are relatively easy and straightforward. If you do the homework, you won't have to study too hard for the tests. Also, she drops your 5 lowest homework grades, which is pretty sweet. However, she is an EXTREMELY hard grader when it comes to projects.

Comment:

Acuna is definitely a nice lady, but she is condecending when questions are asked, and even though the class seems like it will be easy, it definitely isn't. She also makes her test difficult and the questions are worded weirdly. Projects are graded EXTREMELY hard. I'd stay away ...

Comment:

I really liked her! Acuna does not have the best reputation but if you do the work in her class and take her seriously you will be fine. I'm not a particularly strong student and passed with an A but you have to go in and talk to her if you are concerned about your grade or need help. She is always available and very sweet if you give her a chance.

Comment:

I think Carmen explains math very clearly, as only people who know it can do. She has a funny accent, which is not a problem, since she speaks English better than many of my fellow students. She is fair and nice.

Prof. Acuna is really nice and friendly and her stats class is easy. She has a bit of an accent, but I didn't really think it was a problem.

Comment:

Anyone who bashes prof. Acuna is a slob. If you don't do well in the class it's because of you, not because she's hard of hearing. You're not in high school anymore, take responsibility for your own education and stop blaming others for your short comings.

Imagine someone touching a rose and it wilts in pain. This is what she causes her students. I warn you, do not take this class. It will be your worst choice. She is the hobbit that everyone fears

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!! She is the worst professor in the world. I can only regret that the ratings on this website cannot go below 1. I am petitioning for all her previous students to make sure she gets fired! Please show your support!!!

Comment:

I personally believe that Carmen Acuna should not be allowed to teach anyone. She is the college students worst nightmare... She takes daily attendence, then doesn't explain the material well (because she doesn't speak English) then grades unfairly hard and won't answer questions. Made me hate learning, dont worry, she is probably being fired soon
