Comment:

I had her for a science credit class, it was like anatomy. I learned very little and was constantly confused by her class. I had a few friends in the class and even when we studied all of the notes together, we did not do well at all on her exams. The notes did not even reflect what we were being tested on. Rude, impersonal, late, inappropriate...

Comment:

Carson was a nightmare for lab. She came late every lab and was extremely unprepared. She claims to be clear in her grading criteria, but will rip apart lab reports for random things she does not like that are not specified on the rubric. She often gets angry and aggressive, even when students ask her simple, meaningful questions.

Comment:

I had her for Lab and she was okay. She was helpful when needed but then when getting my practical grade back, she would always insult you for what you missed. Probably has good intentions just not for me

Comment:

I have her for poisoning of the planet, which is a relatively easy class especially if you read the book. Her lectures are very boring and honestly bizarre but that's not my problem with her. I have never in my life met a person who is more consistently rude than her. She seems to enjoy putting down her students and making them feel terrible. Avoid

Comment:

Carson can seem really evil but she means well. If you don't have tough skin, then I do not recommend her, she can make you feel stupid at times. Tough grader if she doesn't like you. I hated her the first few weeks but she gets better. She is very clear on what she expects from you and will explain things for awhile.

Comment:

AVOID HER CLASS IF POSSIBLE. She designed the lab practicals (hammered at 9 am) that over 3/4 of all the classes got below a 70. Unstable, if she is in a good mood she is helpful if you ask direct question. If she is in a bad mood run away! She is not above saying she hates certain students. DO NOT TALK while she is!

Comment:

Carson is a great lab professor. She's difficult, but she pushes you to succeed... If you do the work. Which isn't a lot. If not, she doesn't care if you fail. She hates lazy freshmen, and I get that. Just take responsibility. She is extremely clear with what she wants. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Just read the assignments on Blackboard.

Comment:

Carson's alright. She has a lot of dry humor, so prepare yourself. I wouldn't say the class is easy unless you really prepare yourself. The class is pretty straightforward. Study her powerpoints and you'll be fine. She's pretty blunt, so don't try to kiss up.

Comment:

Worst Proffesor ever! Her expectations are completely unclear. You never know how your doing because she never hands anything back. Doesn't prepare you for either practical. Average grade for both was around a 20/50. She likes to complain about other students behind their backs. Very absent minded, but this can be funny at times.Don't take her!

Comment:

Scariest professor at Le Moyne. She digs right into the material and makes you feel as though you are an incompetent human being without a brain. Thus, if you want to feel stupid 24/7 and hate your life for a semester, take her.

Comment:

It's as simple as this: She pick favorites. If she likes you, then the class is easy and you will get an A with minimal effort. If she doesn't then run away from the class and never look back. She gets away with this by giving opinionated questions and with partial credit. Has little faith in her own student though, which is annoying.

Comment:

Crazy at times, but gives you everything you need to know for write-ups. Difficult to approach for fear of losing one's head, but has a dry humour. Pulled a 45/50 on lab practical because of her.

Comment:

Horrible Professor! Does not respond to emails and tests are almost impossible. Two thirds of the class had a grade of C or below AFTER the insane curve she uses. Would not recommend taking any classes with her!

Comment:

Crazy (constantly says "I don't care" while going over material), scatterbrained, tests are nearly impossible...does curve A LOT because she likes her classes to have a 75% average, so getting a C is possible. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IF YOU CAN AVOID.

Comment:

I have her for BIO lab and I dont know what you people are talking about. She is crazy and all over the place! She seems sorta nice but more sarcastic. I've done well on grades so far but she seems to take points off for no reason just because she doesnt want to give a perfect score and back up her reasoning. I would take someone else!

Prof Carson is amusing in class, tests are straightforward, and overall a worthwhile course since you have to take a natural science anyway. I would take her again if i needed another science class

Humorous and good natured. Likes to give quizzes and practicals. If you study constantly, you will do well. Wonderful woman.

The best professor i've had here to date. Covers everything that will be on the test. Very easy grader, and curves. got an A with minimun effort. Has a sense of humor and understands that you have a life and may miss class occasionally. Highly recommended
