Rate My Professor Maria Recalde
Ratings & reviews
She is an outstanding professor. I took two courses taught by her at the University of Melbourne and achieved grades of over 90 in both. During my graduate school applications, I also benefited greatly from her strong letter of recommendation. She is always kind, generous, and selfless in supporting her students. Even outside of class, she patiently helps students resolve academic questions and challenges.
