Comment:

I am sure that everyone that has had to come to her was because of serious matters. Please don't think she will care. It's almost like she smiles when she knows you are helpless. I choose to go to UHD because I am paying for my school and it is what I can afford. I am not sure if the title of Dr, has desensitized her. She is rude and condescending.

Comment:

Dr. Cuevas was difficult to work with. She specifically told me one thing and then told me something completely different later on. Get everything in writing. She acted pretty unprofessionally when she told me that a former employee acted outside their authority and threatened not to honor what they did. Beware.

Comment:

I just read a whole bunch of these comments and find most of them to be what i came here to write! omg! how is she still here after years and still act the same way she does, not only unprofessional but also very rude! I wonder what I've done to make her act that way but after reading this, I'm actually not the only one she is rude toward.

Comment:

She is perhaps the most unprofessional person I have ever had to deal with. I find it amusing that UHD has closed open enrollment with the hope of appealing to higher level students (academically). This is amusing because it will never happen unless UHD and COB address the unprofessional attitudes of their administrative staff.

Comment:

Carmen Cuevas is probably the most condescending person that I have ever had to encounter.As an assistant dean, you would think that a person needs more compassion.She has NONE. Instead of wanting to do well in school, she has pretty much shot my confidence level from an 8 to a 4.I hope that she learns to be more patient when dealing with students.

Comment:

I addressed her as "Ms Cuevas" in an informal email. She promptly responded that she does not appreciate this;she worked very hard for her titles and degrees. Umm...really? She must be miserable with where her degrees haven't taken her. Be sure to address her as Dr. Cuevas, PhD of COB Advising. Maybe she would be less bitter if it were UH/Rice?

Well, everybody can change. Dr. Cuevas has been helpful. Actually, she is the most helpful out of the entire staff of COB you (the student) have to be persistent.

Comment:

I have had a few unfortunately unpleasant encounters with her as counselor and Associate Dean of the COB. From the manner in which the COB GPA change was handled to the passive aggressive emails she responds with, I feel it fair to say there is/has been little regard given to the needs of current UHD COB students.

Useless. Her mission seems to be to try and intimidate students. Remind her that her job is to assist students, to be at their service. That's it!!!

Comment:

Arrogant. From the first word, sheis rude and attacking. It's like a battle every time. She does everything but advise students. COB is showing to be hypocritical, teaching us importance of ethics, respect, and efficiency while keeping cuevas on position after years of torture she has shown to her students. My friends graduated 5 years ago and say the dame thing. Your life would be much better if you never had to face her.

Comment:

UHD needs to replace her with a Director that cares for students. Cuevas only knows how to say "you can?t" and discourage students. She thinks she is a high ranked General and has no understanding or consideration for the needs of students. Treats all students as they are retarded, without any respect even if they proved to gave perfect grades.

Comment:

Outdated. she acts like a comunist dictator. she things that she is a good and students are her servants. UHD needs to make the advising office about advising students. Not for Cuevas to feed her psycho ego on by acting important with students.

Comment:

I've had the unfortunate luck of dealing with Dr. Cuevas for advising & I found her to be unprofessional,short tempered, rude, arrogant and down right vile.I'm sure that what she does is important but she acts like she is God. She either hates students or herself. Either way, she is a danger to the educational process.

Comment:

She is a wonderful teacher and advisor. She has many real life experiences to share and really cares about her students! Do not believe what others say about her. She is stern, but Hello! this is college not elementary! You have to really read the book for her tests, and study her handouts! Listen to her advising, she knows her stuff! She's my Fav!

Comment:

She might be good at her class. But for advising she is rude and un-qualified. She won't listen to you. The world rotates around her. She is the centre of world. Total hipocrat. stay away.
