Comment:

In my Senior Year I changed majors from English to environmental science. Since graduation HE haunts my drams, HE determines how I write my scientific essays, HE criticizes my findings, HIS acute understanding of humanity has shaped my world view, HE is the hardest and best professor I have ever had studied under, take him if you want to learn.

Comment:

Dr. Carballo was one of the best professors I've had so far at Millersville. As long as you pay attention and take notes and participate in this class you will do well. Many people didn't like him but I did. He was also able to keep lectures quite interesting.

Had to withdraw from class because of profs refusal to follow my learning plan. A bunch of higher ups got involved and the university refunded me for the class and the books, and apologized for his behavior though...

Comment:

This is definitely a professor that you need to be in every class for. He took attendance in just about every class except for maybe two. He had three major tests during the semester which consisted of multiple choice and an essay for each test. The multiple choice was challenging, so take that into account. His lectures can be interesting.

Comment:

Carballo is very knowledgable, and his rants can be amusing (he's outspokenly conservative) but there are only 3 tests made up of 20 multiple choice and an essay. The mc are worth 4 points each, and due to the subjectivity of literature, the tests can be hard to earn good grades on, but he is generally pretty clear about what to study.

Comment:

Extremely conservative & opinionated. DON'T take if you're not heterosexual or if you're trans. Expect to pretend you think he's right about everything if you want to pass. Knows his stuff, but is insufferable. Class isn't hard if you attend (for English majors, anyway). I got an A- and hardly studied. Still wouldn't take again - he's that bad.

I think he is very smart and knows what he's teaching... But he's kind of rude and only listens to his own opinions. He is very strict and kind of scary too.

Comment:

Carballo is not very accommodating or friendly: he views everything in his way (and it's his way or no way). His tests are multiple guess (even he calls it that). This is the hardest class I've ever taken in my whole life. Your book is NEEDED and reading is NEEDED to even attempt to pass. If you can get another English professor, do it.

One of the best professors at Millersville! If you go to his classes, take notes and read the material, it will be pretty easy. He is very focused on the materials, his lectures are straightforward and on topic and he is very entertaining and amusing to listen to as well! Highly recommend taking any of his classes.

For serious English majors, this is the professor for you. I've heard complaints from only students who aren't passionate about literature and writing. Showing up for every class and participation is a must. Millersville is lucky to have Dr. Carballo.

Dr. Carballo, to put it simply, is one o the best professors at the University. His class is tough, so for those who are not looking to put in hard work,don't bother. He expects you to readand think deeply. If you come to class prepare to be enamored by his wealth og knowledge. He is a true acemic mind, and I cannot stress how I admire him.

Comment:

Dr. Carballo is an excellent professor. His lectures are engaging, with plenty of back and forth between professor and students. While he is very open about his opinions, Dr. Carballo presents them in a funny way so as not to offend students. Tests are very reasonable. Go to class and keep up with the reading and you'll be fine.

Comment:

My least favorite professor at MU. His lectures are 80% about his opinions and beliefs and 20% about the content that will be on the test. His tests were nicknamed "multiple guess" in my class. He refuses to help students outside of class and directs you to his graduate student. Very impolite. Carballo needs to get off his high horse.

Comment:

The course content was enjoyable, but he often went on annoying conservative rants that distracted from class. Rather than having good discussions about the literature, we'd have to hear him drone on about why "sentimentalists" are stupid and global warming is a lie.

The worst professor ever. He is the walking devil. He grades papers in a confusing way and if he doesn't get along with you expect the worst! Will never take him again.

Mr. Carballo is an intelligent and passionate professor. I really enjoyed this class! If you are in college to learn, this is the professor for you. If you are taking classes to just breeze through school, and looking for an easy professor, look elsewhere. Put your phone away during class, and pay attention to his lectures, they are valuable.

So I was pretty nervous about having Dr. Caballo, mainly due to his negative rap. He is extremely easy. Yes he rants and all but he works with you and gives you ample opportunity to be successful. He only asks for respect.

expects a lot from his students. He doesn't treat you like a child. The class is a lot of work but completely rewarding once you are done. You will learn about from his class and you will spend many many nights writing. A class with him is worth the money!

Comment:

Dr. Carballo is a very passionate and opinionated teacher. While he does get distracted easily and convery his opinions his explanations of class material are very well thought out. People complain about his opinionated rants but that's just his personality. You need to read the material or else he will call you out on it. That's life, get over it.
